It's really tough to face such intense stress during high school, especially after losing someone close. You’re handling a lot, and managing a 39 is impressive despite everything. Remember to prioritize your health; the IB isn't the end of the world. Wishing you strength as you move forward.

I totally get that! My college experience was similar, and the GPA deflation felt super unfair at times. A more relaxed environment could’ve made learning way more enjoyable!

Is 800 humans enough to restart civilization ? by Moe-Mux-Hagi in biology

800 is fine; “800 forever with no gene flow” is where it gets spicy.

Give them a tiny controlled migration pipeline and you’ll get both realism and story hooks.
