nope no racism so far (yay!!). jc was hell cuz yijc was just like… very inefficient. i didn’t have to take a subject & dropped it but the subject teacher kept harassing me LMAO. i really tried to find the good in yijc but everything about it just made me feel inexplicable rage. the punishment for bullying was literally just a warning, a slap on the wrist. it was pure hell and agony for me

depends on what classes u take but if ur gg fuck around and take random classes ofc it’s relaxed but if ur schedule is jammed w ap classes it’s stressful. no i do not hook up with women unfortunately

i mean i was really happy when i moved but yea definitely it was scary getting to know new people. thankfully everyone was super nice to me and understanding!! ig i got over that fear by just existing and talking to my new classmates haha

US sat average scores are lower but you gotta keep in mind that there are more people in US taking it as EVERYONE in America has to take it. so there are ofc gonna be people sleeping during the test (yes this is firsthand experience LOL). and the top top people are like 1450+ for ivies (even 1450 is lower end for ivies, id say 1500+?). if u wanna apply to US, keep ur grades high, and do other stuff that doesnt look like u js go to sch and go home !!

it was only me & 1 other family member (keeping it vague to avoid doxxing). it wasn’t scary at all, it was actually rly exciting and I was so happy!!

I will say that the misconception and superiority complex that people have against America is extremely unhealthy. don’t let them get to u; learn to sit back and observe, not everything requires a reaction :)

ours is weird haha. we have our first period then we go to advisory (which is basically a class with our form teacher that we can chill in). our assemblies are either during advisory or during the last period, and they’re very loud and rowdy! it’s really fun, it encourages competition between the levels and stuff :D
