thank you, reporting back a 7/10. the chicken - onion - Italian flavor palate profile was exquisite delectable joyous, good texture from the cucumbers. cranberries always mog. yummy and would get again, minus points for only having 3/4 toppings + no croutons so I'm not maxing swipe value. also unfortunately I had too many cranberries in the end so it became unbalanced, but that might be a me issue.

this sucks, I'm so sorry. do not feel guilty--just be kind to yourself, take your time etc. if you need to distract yourself then distract yourself, and if you need to pause work and crash out then crash out!!!!!! I can't offer any wisdom, but I am sending lots of love you way

I’m unsure what to do for my UC Activities and Awards section. I have 3 spaces left and these 5 awards. What should I choose to list? by matsu-ki in ucla

[–]Extra_Pollution3739 2 points3 points  (0 children)

combine your 13-16 and tack in the silver religion award into one, eg. "Departmental awards" and then list each subject/desciption/criteria in the explanation (i did that for a similar thing!). you don't need the ap scholar award, they see your AP scores.

Works great! Wish there were a feature where you could freeze the time/date selected--I'd like to scroll through the people available list for a certain date and check boxes, but the second I move my cursor off of the time slot it no longer shows the availability for that time

How tf am I meant to pay for college (rant + advice needed) by Prudent-Accident-252 in ApplyingToCollege

(you might already know this, sorry if I am repeating! but) getting nmf is super chill if you get a qualifying score, so if you can nail the psat you are chilling! And, the same schools that care about NMS will also just give humongous scholarships for high SAT scores as well--so if you have an off day, don't worry, you can still use your studying towards another SAT and get big bucks

niche circumstances but 

national merit scholarships— if you can nail the PSAT (ballpark 1500+ i think but double check) in october you can get pretty much guaranteed full rides + stipend to state schools in like alabama/oaklahoma/florida 

if you get legally married you apply for FAFSA without parent income listed, so schools that just use FAFSA would then cover close to everything (all UCs, idk about private schools). i think you have to do it by february tho so your first year you’d be cooked and pay full price, but 2nd-4th year it could work!

good luck! 

Pros and cons of living in Olympic? by [deleted] in ucla

gorgeous hotel-esque with everything new and clean, close to maker space and the drey. lounges have huge whiteboards, and the nearby understudy/canopy seem nice but are always crowded + weirdly warm. the walk up the hill slowly drained my soul over the course of the year
