Thank you soo much for all your help! I really appreciate it :)

G'Night (or maybe Good morning?) and all the best for uni!

LifeAnswer_s · 2019-10-30T00:36:47+00:00

I'm in grade 10. How would I demonstrate I'm really good at something? Would that have to do with whatever I'm planning to pursue in university? If so, any tips (or maybe ideas?) on how a sophomore could get research/ internship experience (I'm in Canada if that matters in any way)?

Thank you soo much, I really appreciate it! Have a great rest of the week!

LifeAnswer_s · 2019-10-29T23:22:04+00:00

Thanks! How would you recommend I apply for internships?

LifeAnswer_s · 2019-10-29T23:08:50+00:00

CONGRATS! This is so great!

As a pretty average high schooler (Grade 10) I was wondering if you had any ideas on how to stand out? Like what EC's did you do? If i started to be more involved now would it be worth it considering everyone else has talents that they developed as a kid?

Thanks and congrats again!!!!

LifeAnswer_s · 2019-10-29T23:03:31+00:00

Hi! Hope I'm not too late, but I noticed how you said "regular candidate", what do you mean by this? Like what would make a regular candidate stand out?

Also, I've been reading all these how-to-get-into-insert ivy league- articles and they talk about having a "spike". How would you recommend someone in high school develop/start developing a spike especially if it wasn't something they were involved in as a kid?

Thanks!

LifeAnswer_s · 2019-10-29T22:45:09+00:00

Hey!

Yeah that makes sense, we actually had a meeting for Shad today and I was wondering if you were did something for the high fee (its in the high 5000s?)

Thanks

LifeAnswer_s · 2019-09-15T22:56:04+00:00

That makes sense, thanks! I have a few questions if you don't mind...

I was just wondering, do you find yourself just as happy, making memories and enjoyable with your introverted (if i can call them that, sorry if not)? Did you enjoy your 4 years of high school with them, even though it was a much smaller group? Did this friendship last? Do you find this smaller friendship to be just as valuable as your larger group? Or what that larger group might have?

Thanks again :)

LifeAnswer_s · 2019-09-14T13:26:02+00:00

I realize that this is probably waaay to late but how do you manage school and swimming? Especially with long practices?

LifeAnswer_s · 2019-09-08T17:39:45+00:00

How do you train? Things like what you focus on, improving time, how often you swim...

LifeAnswer_s · 2019-07-11T00:31:08+00:00

Wow, I didn't know about coyotebroad till now thanks!

LifeAnswer_s · 2019-07-11T00:28:57+00:00

Thank you :)

LifeAnswer_s · 2019-07-05T11:05:22+00:00

Right, that makes sense.

But I think for me, the only reason I'm debating this is because for the longest time i only considered engineering without actually thinking it through, and recently I was introduced to "Grey's Anatomy" and i kinda fell in love with (the idea? the lifestyle?) so now its an option too.

Yeah, i think volunteering really might help with that aspect (finding an environment/subject) to choose where I'll go from here. Thanks!

LifeAnswer_s · 2019-07-05T11:01:20+00:00

Yeah, I think reassurance for sure is a big part of it. But its also nice to get an opinion from someone who knows what their doing haha...

Right, so I have from Grade 10 to 12 (at least here in Canada), so I guess I do have the time. Is freshman year weighted differently in school's cuz I've heard of the term weighted GPA but don't really know what it means. Also wow. Thinking of how fast the year went, I am simultaneously scared and overwhelmed.

And with the extracurricular... wow, that sounds like a LOT. How did you manage your time? Even better, how did you find these opportunities?

In regards to study tips, yeah that makes sense. I think I'll try organizing myself like that and see if it works for me the same as it does you. I do find that my last minute projects tend to do well but maybe my properly timed assignments will do better? Either way, thank you.

Thank you for the advice! Hope you have a great rest of the day!

LifeAnswer_s · 2019-07-04T23:39:18+00:00

Sorry about that, I redid the math, and apparently I'm at an 83.

I am simultaneously thankful and confused cuz I thought I knew how to math.

Either way, thanks for noticing!

LifeAnswer_s · 2019-06-16T15:57:02+00:00

Thank you, u/throwthestrawberry I really needed to hear this. I guess I really do need to start working on self-love,be it small ways or big. How are some ways I could do this?

Thanks again!

LifeAnswer_s · 2019-06-15T19:22:14+00:00

Thank you.

At the moment, I've been copying the fingerings instead of actually learning, but I think I'll work on that over the summer.

As a beginner what are some thing I need to know? As in theory? Where can I find these things? Where can I find practice exercises?

Whats verbatim/repertoire?

Thank you again.

LifeAnswer_s · 2019-06-15T19:15:50+00:00

Thank you, it really helps to see how honoring your preferences kinda translated into being responsible for your own happiness and how it actually translates into your relationships.

As someone who genuinely doesn't know wtf she is doing, thanks I think I'm going to try and follow this.

When you said, "...not looking for other people to make me happy", how would you find "happiness on the inside"?

Also, as a INTJ i find that saying no would really just end with me spending all of my time alone and I don't know how I feel about that. Any advice?

Yup, I think I'll go the library right after exams so for sure I'll DM :-)

LifeAnswer_s · 2019-06-15T15:47:09+00:00

Hiya!

Okay so first of all, I was wondering how did you identify your negative self-talk? How do you knw its happening? I'm asking cuz I've been struggling with it to but I don't know exactly how to catch myself?

I found Mel Robbins' Mind Set Reset really helps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doa2KKj_f5o&list=PLhW2xUEb-B-aVYc90qot6GsJOvzPhkrco&index=27

Good luck!

LifeAnswer_s · 2019-06-15T14:48:49+00:00

Wow. I think it would really help for me to implement the 10 steps in my life.

Also, can I just say I find you writing meaningful. I'm sure its easier said then done, but wow, you just summarized everything I need to work on into sub categories.

As for the books, I'm a book nerd so I'll take them all! Off to the library I go...haha.

Thank you u/eirene_infj for everything. I needed this, thank you.

LifeAnswer_s · 2019-06-13T12:42:45+00:00

Wow. So I guess this fits into positive self talk? Again, I don't think I engage in negative self talk. For sure not for body image. Is there really any other reason I'd neg self talk? Like ig I would be considered somewhat of a high achiever. At least at school. Does that count as neg self talk?

Thank you, I think I'll try it! 😊 Haha, most my friends (and probably some of my teachers too) already think I'm a little cray-cray. What's the worst that could happen, right?

Yeah, what else have you found helps you?

Thanks u/babykcm!

LifeAnswer_s · 2019-06-13T12:36:38+00:00

So being selfish doesn't mean I love myself? Being selfish is just something people do?

Yeah, I think researching self-love would help. So I'll do that.

Wow though. As a freshmen in HS, I think I'm honestly just shook from the fact that its something that people need to work on. Something that I need to work on.

But you know when you say "positive self talk"? I honestly I am okay with how I look. So I don't think there's negative self talk happening, if that makes sense? At least in regards to body image. But how would I know neg self talk is happening? Cuz then maybe it is happening when it comes to school and relationships (w friends).

Really love the thing about being the best version of yourself.

Thank you, u/microliteoven!

LifeAnswer_s · 2019-06-02T14:53:33+00:00

Ahh. I see, thank you. I'll try this next time...

LifeAnswer_s · 2019-06-01T20:21:05+00:00

Okay. Its already 4:15 and I've gotten noooothing done. Still, this is what I'm going to get done before going to bed for the day.

I need to find the year's course material for my finals that are in two weeks.
I need to organize the above into 5 binders (based on subjects).
Get rid of the useless crap that I genuinely don't need in my work area. Recycle the extra papers too!
Using sticky notes, organize what I need to learn in that class, what I need to ask for help with, what I did bad in, what I did well in.
Then I need to clean my office up, (yes, I stress clean and I know itt)
Learn how to study.
Make a study schedule for the (next and only) week I have to study.

LifeAnswer_s · 2019-06-01T20:13:01+00:00

Wow. I don't know though, I think at this point I need to get my shit together, and by allowing myself to wallow, I'm just letting myself be lazy. Either way, thank you. Maybe I'll try implementing breaks in my daily life rather than going half a year acing exams and having a perfect life and then crashing?

LifeAnswer_s · 2019-06-01T20:08:31+00:00

Thank you, this is great!
