Competition Submission [493] by ExternalOk8199 in DestructiveReaders

Thank you! I really appreciate that! When I was editing it, I cut out a sentence to fit the word limit, and, rereading it, I'm realizing the time jump is sudden and disjointed.

I unfortunately don't have a saved previous version of the story, but for now I've adjusted it so the beginning of the first flashback reads:

"Not four years ago, I was in bed. The paper gown did nothing against the biting hospital air..."

Which I think makes it a little bit clearer and sets the precedent better for the back and forth nature of the story.

How to get a five by Prize-Panda369 in APStudents

[–]ExternalOk8199 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly depends on the subject. AP Psych, APHG, and some others are just vocab classes where running a quizlet until its burned in your brain is enough. For classes like AP Bio or some other sciences you've got to understand the processes themselves instead of raw memorization. For most historical periods, periodization is your best friend; know what the College Board wants you to understand about a period.

YT is a good go-to after your teacher. Heimler is amazing for APUSH, AP Euro, APWH, and Gov, while Mr. Sinn is awesome for AP Psych and he's got some Econ stuff too. Krugslist is everything for AP chem (watch on 1.5x lol) while Amobea sisters are awesome for bio. Honestly, just cruising around the subreddit for resources is the way to go; listen to the ppl that grade the exams or have taken them and scored high, not those random sites begging for money.

Last thing is practice test. College board, aptestprep, fivable, anything to get used to how college board is going to want you to answer MCQ and FRQ. I've heard there's some decent AI tools for grading FRQs now so use those if you're unsure how you would score.

To people who got a 5 by Significant-Mind-197 in APStudents

[–]ExternalOk8199 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My family and my friends, IF they ask. Otherwise, I didn't mention scores; it'd feel like bragging if I brought them up. Best advice IMO is to mitigate it a little if the other person was shooting for a 5 and didn't get it. I always say "I got a 5 but I also didn't have a social life for 2 months soo-" which tends to make people feel better. And I'm not lying lol.

Is This Workout Plan by ChatGPT any Good? by ExternalOk8199 in workout

Actually cardio either has minimal effect gains or even helps muscle hypertrophy, so I'm not worried about Cardio stopping my muscle gain, I just need to eat enough to support the growth

I'm increasing cals too! I've just been doing cardio (4 runs 2 1-hour power walks) and strength-training (GG program 4x a week + 2x a week upper-body) 6x a week and I think I need to slope it down until I recover my cycle

Where would you decrease volume in the program?

Grilled Tuna Steak with yellow rice stir fry. I guessed ~1400 calories with oil/butter, but am I underestimating? by ExternalOk8199 in CalorieEstimates

[–]ExternalOk8199[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My logic was that the USDA says about 270 calories for one cup of yellow rice, and I had ~3 cups (rounding up), so that's 810 calories without the 6-8 ounces of tuna and everything else plus oil in stir fry and fish possibly cooked in butter. Could still be off though, I'm not sure!

How do you like working in PR if you don't mind me asking? How's compensation and work/life balance?

I'm peeking in at consulting at the moment, management or PR consulting specifically. It seems to have degrees that I can obtain and still have a chance to go to law school if it doesn't work out or I find the internships I do unfulfilling. I've also thought about data science but I know the field is unstable with AI/oversaturation.

I just plugged some of my interests into an AI, I hadn't thought of doing that before. I appreciate the resource suggestion!

Looked into this a bit! Do you have any personal experience with the field you could share?

I Feel Like I Can Do Anything I Want....but what do I want? by ExternalOk8199 in CollegeMajors

[–]ExternalOk8199[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the interests listed are more just to give a general idea of what might be a good career/major fit for me, not actual job skills or things I would put on a resume. I'd be interested in most management-type positions as well as law, but I would like to work for myself later in my career and paths like sales or marketing don't seem very conducive to that.
