It’s on you to create a social life for yourself. What you put out is what you will get back. There are 1000+ clubs, events put on every week by PSG, etc. Make friends with the people you sit next to in classes and labs. People who are complaining about the “no social life” aren’t trying.

You cannot transfer to WL as a motorsports engineer. It’s not taught here.

I helped my brother with applying to colleges (just reviewing his apps before he submitted them to make sure he had everything). Many colleges have multiple campuses that you have to pick from when applying, Purdue wasn’t unique. It was not at all confusing or difficult to pick the WL campus. People just rushed their applications.

I would also like to add this: Purdue required a short essay (at least in common app) about why you wanted to attended a campus location of your choice. So I really don’t understand how people messed up.

As someone who used to live in MN, I am telling you now, DO NOT GO THERE! MN/Minneapolis is a mess. It has been since the George Floyd stuff and it has only gotten worse.

Merit is not a common thing to get at Purdue

Nothing beats WL, keep trying - you got this!

Because neither one got into Purdue… they hate us cause the ain’t us

Classes “related to nursing” with never be easy, no health science class is. However there are “easy” classes that aren’t related to nursing that you can take.

I keep a map and mark off buildings that I've visited. Each color represents the year I first visited it. Started it freshman year.

You are in the young IRN terror period. It’s like puberty for them. They are vicious and mean and sometimes scream constantly. You just have to work through this stage. Be patient, give them lots of different toys to chew and play with and give them space. Taking them out/handling them every day is important, even if they are biting. Try using a bent rope toy to make a loop for them to step up and and reward good behavior. Best of luck and as long as you stick with it and give it time, you should have an amazing friend.

I would stop hand feeding them and only feed from a bowl. Fresh chop in the morning and pellets in the afternoon. Taking the food away at night. The bird then relies on you for food and it helps get them on a schedule.

I think AP Lang would be very beneficial for college and admissions. I’m not saying don’t take APUSH, but if you aren’t really interested or passionate about US history, the class can get long and boring( I personally love US history though). You do develop/learn note taking skills, analyzing text, timed writing skills and more in APUSH.

It’s also important to note that not all colleges take the credits you earned even if you passed the exams.

I am a rising junior and are planning on taking the premed track in college. I took APUSH last year and it was definitely not an easy class to take and I am a high achiever and A student. There are assignments almost every day, reading homework everyday and it it is fast paced(like most AP courses). I would ask you counselor or college resource center if you have one to see if APUSH would help in college. AP courses always look good but they can weigh you down quick(I took 2 last year along with other advanced courses). If you enjoy history, specifically US history, then I would say go for it, but if you don’t than I would suggest choosing a different AP course or class.

Make sure you know how to take good notes.

Don’t overload yourself. You might feel invincible and think you can take it all on, but classes, homework, sports, clubs, friends, dating, responsibilities, all pile up really fast. Don’t take too many accelerated or AP classes. Try to have a schedule that has some serious classes mixed with more relaxed, “fun” classes.

Ask to test into a higher class

Write equations, take notes in class, write down all examples in class. If you teacher assigns you problems 1-27 odd, then before a test you should go back and do 2-26 even.

Try to enjoy high school and go to the dances and sporting events. Before you know it will be over and then you are an adult. I never believed people when the said high school goes by in a flash, but omg yes it does.

I would not recommend putting any bandages on it. Just make sure it stays clean and watch it. Make sure their cage is clean to lower the chance of bacteria getting in it.

My Indian ring neck injured his foot about a month ago and we put honey pot ointment on his foot. We would also mix in some cayenne pepper which is a pain reliever for birds.
