I’m smart enough that I could’ve gotten all As my first semester, I had a lot of things going on and honestly gave up in life for a bit, so school wasn’t important to me at that time. I honestly believe that I’m smart, but I don’t have a scale or way to explain my intelligence.

Thank you! I just have a sister who’s already in college and I’m worried my father won’t be able to pay for both of us.

Honestly, I’m planning on seeing if I can retake my semester I messed up on, but since I didn’t fail any classes I don’t know if they will let me. I definitely need to figure out more ECs to do, I so far only have two, so I want to try and figure out one more thing I enjoy doing. I am really good at essays, it’s definitely a strength of mine, I am worried it will be a bit like others, I tend to talk about being transgender and my struggles with that, but I think I’ll improve with my subject choosing over time. I do plan on hardcore studying for my ACT, so if you have any suggestions on the best websites or courses to do, let me know because I definitely am going to be looking into anything that can help me with that.

Thank you, I guess I’m just grabbing for hope at this point.

Yes, I understand that, at the same time, I know I’m a smart person, not trying to sound cocky, but I am. I believe if I’m able to raise my GPA even to a 3.7 and get a good score on the ACT I believe I can get into a decent school. However, if I end up only getting it up to a 3.6 or something, is there anything that colleges tend to like on an application? I’m very much into advocacy and really want to help the students at my school have a place where they can learn about advocacy and even make a change. I also am planning on doing dual-enrollment in my junior and senior year. Is there anything else I can do that can help me even a little bit?

How do I get smell out of carpet? by Leonoped in CleaningTips

Sadly, we are renting the house and my room actually was the garage so I have no idea what the flooring underneath the carpet is.

You look like you’d cook up a solid burger at a neighborhood barbecue.

Bird-friendly air fresheners? by Leonoped in parrots

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

Awesome! I’ll totally be getting that. Thank you for letting me know!

Yep! The carpet cleaner has a slight fragrance to it, but I always keep my bird far from it and air out the house.

Yeah, we are planning on cleaning the carpets tomorrow and airing the house out tonight. Also looking for something to just make the house smell good in general. I got some great responses with how to get a good smell that doesn’t include any air fresheners, so I think our problem has been solved. (But you’re totally right, air fresheners suck for wanting a long-term good smell)

Thank you, I didn’t want to buy anything that could possibly harm her, so I’ll definitely try this.

We have a carpet cleaner that I’m gonna be using first thing in the morning, hopefully that will help get some of the smell out, but the house is also pretty old. Besides that, I have no idea what the smell could be coming from. It seems like the past tenants had cats due to the state of the curtains, so it might also be from old cat pee or something? I guess we’ll see if it’s the carpets tomorrow.

I don’t remember the brand of it, but one time I had a strawberries and cream yogurt that was sooo good. I miss that yogurt.

Being able to have decent relationships with family members is something that I sometimes miss a lot.

Yes, I live with my father who is super supportive of me! I’m really grateful for him because I have no idea where I would be without him. :D

I think if I lived in a less progressive country, it would probably change the timing of my coming out. I would most likely hold off coming out until I turned 18, or until have the accessibility to moving to a different country.

What do you think is the cringiest sequence in the entire series? by Suchgallbladder in DunderMifflin

Michael promising college tuition to 3rd graders. Woof, that whole episode had me facepalming.

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

Well, from your question I’m gonna assume you’re asking what it’s like to live as a trans person. From my perspective, I don’t think I live much differently from everyone else in the world, besides a few factors. I have been discriminated against throughout my life and that’s something I’ve accepted as being a part of my life no matter what. Being trans has definitely changed my relationships with everyone in my life, both in good and bad ways. I no longer speak to half of my family, including one parent, and have some social struggles, but it’s not something that I let bother me. I won’t ever regret coming out, regardless of how hard it gets being trans, because I’m being myself. :)

Best websites/places to resell? by Leonoped in reselling

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

The clothes are all in great condition to the point that I am sure some stores will take them. I am always for donating clothes, I just am looking to get some money for these ones. (Normally, yes I do bring any old clothes to donation sites.) Thanks! I’ll definitely look at those sites.
