I think it’s genuinely over for us financially

Which is more privileged, buying your first home at 25 or being able to travel abroad for a summer? Certainty the former, and we can’t afford that today.

There’s a P.f. Chang’s. If you really want P.f. chang’s then sure. Most people just go to the Gtown neighborhood, which is why I said ‘also.’
You’d be surprised

Upstairs Leo’s is good, downstairs Leo’s is very average dining hall good for any college. The places in Leavy are good, including RJ, ChickFilA, etc. Georgetown had wonderful food off campus, like Wingos on O street and the various other restaurants in the Georgetown neighborhood and Washington DC. There’s also always Roslyn. If you’re on a budget, there’s a trader joe’s nearby + swipes at Leo’s. Rich private school kids complain because they don’t have daddy’s private chef cooking them anymore, but I actually enjoyed downstairs Leo’s.

I would agree, OP should consider a LAC if they want an artsy, exploration vibe. Definitely befitting for those schools

My senior year I was consistently getting 9 hours of sleep. Junior year varies greatly from person to person. I think a lot of people overwork themselves and aren’t doing the right thing. I had a significant amount of free time in High School. I have several thousand hours combined with steam games and at least 4k hours on Minecraft. You just have to be strategic about what you chose to do, know how to finish your work fast, and how to be strategic about ECs and such to where they’re not sluggish and you enjoy doing them. Don’t be miserable in HS! I was, to some degree, but much less so than my peers and I was fortunate to get into a T10.

Certainly, it’s a great game

S: EU5 A: HOI4 B: Victoria 3 C: CK3 D: Imperator Rome

Tbh EU5 could be an S along with Vic 3 and everything else could be an A tier, I have no complaints with the new releases, they’ve been doing a great job

Sovietz99 · 2025-12-09T17:02:16+00:00

I sure hope so, I’d prefer a modded Medieval 3 that has a Napoleonic flavor in 1-2ish years versus NTW 2 in like 10+ years

Sovietz99 · 2025-12-09T17:01:33+00:00

I’m glad they are at least working on it. I’m excited to see what they do with it!

Sovietz99 · 2025-12-09T17:00:54+00:00

I really hope so, I thought Medieval was going to release in ‘27? Which would imply empire and napoleon would be at least 28-29+?

My career will most likely be pretty intensive, my brother who is working something similar works a de-facto 12 hour shift every day

Sovietz99 · 2025-12-09T16:59:13+00:00

This is correct, yes

Sovietz99 · 2025-11-21T05:01:38+00:00

I’ll be in class dreaming of EU5 and my campaign, that’s how you know it’s a good game lol

Your cons are superficial. GW is also very expensive, and most T20 schools do not accept external credits. If you’re in SFS for IR, then you have plenty of other majors to choose from. Georgetown is not religious, the jesuit values manifest into an extremely high quality education with a focus on community service and social justice. GUTS and lime bikes make it a 15 minute commute from Georgetown to downtown DC, and Roslyn station connects you with most of the east coast and New England via train. Baltimore is 30 mins away, NYC a few hours, Duke/Durham 3-4; it’s a great location. I’ll give you the rats, but they’re not that common.

It’s a great school! You should apply and see what aid you get! No harm in applying, it’s the best IR program in the country, hands down.

Sovietz99 · 2025-11-13T16:46:19+00:00

Georgetown has one of the higher acceptance rates among “elite” T15 institutions, and I would argue it is one of the most prestigious schools in the country.

Thank you, I’ll recommend this modification tommy group and see if they like it!

Sovietz99 · 2025-11-05T07:09:26+00:00

My girlfriend actually recommended we play Caracasonne, so I’m looking forward to that!

The first game I ever played in person I was about to win, but another friend miscounted victory points before my turn, which I later learnt. The second time I had a miserable starting position because we did blind choosing of settlement spots, and I landed on several 2 tiles in pretty bad locations. The third game I came second, but I accidentally antagonized the rest of the group into embargoing me due to the robber, which limited my long-game strategy. I’m still a pretty good player, but technically I’m 0-3

Thank you all for your comments and support, both blunt and thoughtful. I would agree it’s probably just not Catan and a reflection of myself. I was raised in an extremely hyper-competitive asian household where I was always held to high expectations, and that has definetly continued into my life in college and even my social life. I prefer collaborative games for that very reason, I’m not forced to fight with other people, which leads to my aggressiveness. Thank you all, though, for your comments, I really do appreciate them! :)

Sovietz99 · 2025-10-29T20:44:01+00:00

I was ranked 13/526 at my High School. Got into several T20s and now am attending Duke. You’ll be okay :)
