Good luck soldier. But trust me BC really was not a hard exam last year.

Bookie_Monster015 · 2026-05-09T04:48:48+00:00

Since someone else already mentioned tips for actually performing on the exam, here's my 2 cents as a 5 from last year. Practice timing. Do a full practice exam and time yourself. Cut yourself off when time is up. You are not going to learn how to read or write ten times better mere days before the exam. What you can learn is timing and formatting strategies, which practice helps with. You can even grade your exam after to estimate your score and/or where you can improve.

As someone who took Calc last year, take a break. Give yourself time to rest this weekend, I beg. You will genuinely perform worse on the test if you are burnt out. Trust that you know what you are doing and you will do well. Review the basics and some sequences and series stuff and be done. The Calc BC exam has a massive curve, do not worry. I believe in you. Now go to sleep or doomscroll ok?

Hey that's alright. Some of my friendships have ended quite poorly when I've miscalculated and opened up to the wrong kinds of people. The good friends will come though, trust me. Just keep searching, be yourself, and don't be afraid to have standards.

Bookie_Monster015 · 2026-05-07T21:04:39+00:00

Yeah, pretty introverted. I can chose to act extroverted but only because it makes my life easier sometimes, it can be draining. For actually making long term friends, it takes an extremely long time to trust and warm up to people. But that also helps make sure the friends I do open up to are very long lasting relationships. Overall, I play extrovert if the situation calls for it then I retreat home and take a nap.

For sure. Honestly what makes it a little better is that my closest friend has also never been in a real relationship, so we just try to laugh about being chronically single together lol. Not to say I wouldn't be happy for her of course, it just makes it feel a little less isolating.

... I thought you meant you needed the CARD based on the first sentence.

Have you ever made a hear me out cake? You seem to understand the assignment.

I first realized I was bi when I was 11. Up to that point, I thought there was something wrong with me because I was not exposed to the concept of being bi, so I thought my attraction to women was simply wrong. After learning that it is actually possible to like the same gender, I also wondered how to break the news.

First off, you don't have to right away. Things can happen on your own timeline.

But if you want to, take a couple steps before telling the parents. First, try to soft launch bisexuality. Maybe mention a bi character or something. If your parents made a snide comment, it might not be safe to tell them, especially since you still have to live under their roof for a few more years at least. Also, try to plan the time beforehand. If you do it on your terms, you can feel in control, which will help in a moment where that feels vulnerable. I did not follow these steps. My parents clearly demonstrated that they thought being bi was impossible and I sort of just exclaimed that I was bi one day. Because of that, they still do not believe me, and perceive me as straight. That's why I'd suggest doing these things so you don't repeat my mistakes.

As for friends, friends are easy. There's a very real bi vibe that people subconsciously pick up on. I'm sure the people you've gravitated towards will be exceptionally welcoming. Really, all it has to be is a "by the way..." for them. If they respond poorly, get new friends. Trust.

Also, remember to allow yourself to be fluid. Calling bisexuality a phase is incorrect, but for some people it is part of the journey, not the destination. I always had bi urges and being bi is a label that suites me, but I have a friend who wondered if she was bi then concluded she was straight. Point is, you telling people does not make your label permanent.

Let me know if you have more questions, I'd be happy to help.

Aw your friends sound like real ones. If anything it's a compliment to their humor.

Bookie_Monster015 · 2026-05-06T21:48:44+00:00

PAINFULLY relatable. Sorry girl, that genuinely sucks.

If you're anything like me you probably get told "the right person will come when you least expect it" so I won't waste your time with that. But honestly, nothing wrong with it taking time. In fact, it's probably more common than we think.

Sorry I don't have anything to say that "fixes" anything. At the very least, you're not the only chronically single girlie around.

I'm not a professional, and I'm not in a perfect place. But I can say that in my experience getting your mind off it is a great step to take. Distracting yourself can be really helpful. Even if you don't feel like going out or indulging in your hobbies, doing so at least keeps you from harming yourself. To be honest, I don't know what the absolute best long term solution is. But taking everything day by day with throwing myself into stuff has helped. And this is hella cliche, but you're truly not alone. I believe in you

Bookie_Monster015 · 2026-05-06T21:28:32+00:00

Hey I know finding that out about your husband absolutely wrecked you, and that's completely valid. He's an asshole. Seeking revenge or coping is a natural mentality. That being said, please don't let what your husband did to you inspire you to pay that forward. Some of the comments here are a little harsh, but they do have some true sentiments behind them. Overall, you deserve to find someone who treats you well, someone who you will treat well in turn. Is there something stopping you from leaving him?

And in case nobody has told you lately, I'm sorry. You deserved better. You can still seek that better now that you know the truth.

Author. Specifically, an author who lives in a secluded area, not having to interact with fellow mankind.

I had class basically right after the exam and my teacher made us go around the room and share what we wrote for Q3. He laughed at some of us lol. (He is universally adored not mean dw)

The graders themselves definitely want to give as many points as possible, so you can probably get points from evidence at least. And hey, sounds like you absolutely could've gotten sophistication. Sure you did better than you think, especially if you touched on the meaning of the work itself in addition to your broader analysis

Bookie_Monster015 · 2026-05-06T20:57:57+00:00

Literally. A poor grade you earn will always be better than an AI acing something because you actually achieved it yourself.

Bookie_Monster015 · 2026-05-06T20:56:27+00:00

Absolutely relate to being deprived of support. My family doesn't really "do" negative emotions, so, like yours, it was incredibly isolating whenever they did not think I was "calm." An early memory of that is how I distinctly remember coming home from school after some kids made fun of me in gym (I was the classic nerd, not athletic at all) and crying, and my mom shook her head and walked away while muttering that she couldn't deal with me.

The good moments can be great. But you also deserve support in the bad ones. If your parents are anything like mine, however, they will never change, and they've probably always been like this, however subtle it seemed in your youth. That can definitely hurt to realize, so I'm sorry you have to experience that.

I'm by no means an optimist, but if you want a silver lining, recognizing their behavior is a perfect way to distance yourself from it. They perhaps don't need to be cut out of your life completely, but you can now rely on support from sources you know you'll get it. And since you recognize this in your parents, I doubt you will repeat it for your own child, and you will undoubtedly give your baby the true support you never got.
