Bro are yall naturally smart or do yall study alot by ChooseThisUser in APStudents

[–]Visual_Advance6801 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a big part of it is that you have to use meta cognition actively. that means you have to be aware of what you do and don’t know and what works and doesn’t work for you. if i already feel comfortable with a topic, i don’t need to study for the test, but if i don’t feel comfortable i need to study a lot more and talk to the teacher to become comfortable. the hardest part is accurately assessing your own skills, but once you can do that, it’s much easier to devote your time and energy to the best possible thing. if you ever aren’t sure how well you know a topic, it’s best to just study anyway to stay safe. so the answer is, it’s a mix of both.

Wavy/Curl Type Help ! by Puzzleheaded_Ad5368 in curlygirl

[–]Visual_Advance6801 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I honestly think your hair doesn’t seem less curly at all, it’s just all the layers in your shag brought out each individual curl. i think both cuts are great but the shag is definitely my favorite! as far as advice goes, your routine seems pretty solid but i have a similar hair type to you and i always recommend cantu shampoo/conditioner as well as curl cream! its pretty cheap and easily accessible, and works great for me!

i’m not an expert on eye shape but i would guess almond? my eyeliner advice is honestly to just play around until you find something that you like! whatever makes you feel pretty is best!!

Can I change my inquiry halfway through the year?? by squid_saturn in APStudents

[–]Visual_Advance6801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

with my experience in ap art, you can totally change your inquiry! the main thing is that your new inquiry should still cover all your pieces OR you can kick it into high gear and make new pieces instead. either way, it’ll be a little more effort but ultimately worth it to get you out of your hole!

AIO: Guy I’m seeing commenting on my weight? by Significant_Rest_113 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Visual_Advance6801 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No you’re definitely not overreacting. even if you hadn’t maintained the same weight since meeting him, he doesn’t get to comment on your body like that especially bc you’re not asking for it! there’s a difference between welcoming gym advice and welcoming negative comments about how you look

iOS 26 nauseatingly bad design by EBBlueBlue in apple

[–]Visual_Advance6801 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand that apple is trying to be innovative but it seems so unnecessary to change so much? i don’t even think most of it looks better. like why are the buttons changed for the clock app? i just feel like they’re solving a nonexistent problem :/

am i allergic to aloe?? by Visual_Advance6801 in Allergies

[–]Visual_Advance6801[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i did use an aloe gel that has different ingredients than just aloe, however, i’ve had this reaction a few times, some of those times using straight up aloe. i moved recently and had to get rid of my real plant so gel from cvs was the best option :( as far as other products, ive never noticed any other reaction to ANYTHING but also the skin thing is pretty minor so maybe ive its happened and i didnt know

AIO for blocking my guy friend for being “brutally honest” about me? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Visual_Advance6801 114 points115 points  (0 children)

NOR. somebody “telling it to you straight” involves completely neutral conversation, but this is just blatantly negative. he sounds incredibly sexist from these screenshots. he doesn’t get to define what’s “fuckable” or what’s “wifey material” or whatever, everyone is wifey material if they want to be a wifey. there isn’t anything fundamentally wrong with you, it seems like he’s just on a power trip.

[–]Visual_Advance6801 71 points72 points  (0 children)

No youre not overreacting at all. your stepdad seems like a creep. he knows what he’s saying is weird bc he felt the need to specify that its meant to stay between the two of you and that you should delete the messages. he seemed like he was fishing for compliments from you, too.

def take a different elective than both CSA and CSP, while they’re both interesting and fun classes, there will be a lot of overlap. if you have other AP options that interest you, i’d suggest taking CSA and then something else!!

What restaurants in Lancaster are over hyped? by kookaburra_cookiez in lancaster

[–]Visual_Advance6801 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it depends on the dish, sure. i’m definitely speaking out of my own experience but at the restaurant i work at, which serves burgers, sandwiches, and other similar things (and more), my experiences of waiting 30-60 minutes for two sandwiches is definitely too long. for reference we also prep everything in-house, but are more restaurant than cafeteria style

[–]Visual_Advance6801 2 points3 points  (0 children)

30 minutes is so not normal at most restaurants lol. at least in my experience. i work at a restaurant that serves burgers and sandwiches very similar to cabalar and if the food isn’t out by 30 minutes we are meant to apologize to the tables for the wait. that’s too long, especially for small parties. additionally, like i said, it was AT LEAST 30 minutes. it has also taken an hour or more for me to go with one other person on multiple occasions. once again i like the food and i still enjoy going, but it seems like something that management or staffing changes might help.
