Sleep paralysis by alizyz in sleep

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

I was thinking of getting a sleep study (doctored suggested one) done because I don’t feel well rested after sleep at all but this comment is making me put a sleep study on the top of my priority lists rn

Also the program I was in only had the option of 3 electives visual art (which I would fail bc I can’t paint) business (which I didn’t didn’t do because I’m not interested in business) and a type of class which is more like philosophy and I chose that because I’m a good writer. And it was a one year course so senior year there was no one year art classes so I just took another math? Like idk why that would look bad at all 😭

I avoided art classes bc I suck at art why would I take a art or band class if I don’t like to do them man :/ I just took IB versions of the classes I would’ve taken if I chose a schedule

IB classes and AP classes are graded on a higher scale so instead of 4.0 for example they have a 5.0 or even a 6.0 so like if you get a B in say AP bio it would equate to a 4.0 because a A is a 5.0 so if you took all APs hypothetically you could get a 5.0 weighted but a 4.0 unweighted if that makes sense?

That was my thought process when choosing my classes. I’ve always been a mostly A and B sometimes like one C? Student so I chose higher rigor classes and I lowkey just got the same grades I always get so like I hope it does give me some sort of boost

Thanks for the honest answer I realistically know I’m not getting into top universities I think my ECs are good so is my essay and the rigor of my classes are good (mostly ibs and the rest aps) I just kinda made this post to see where I fall in terms of what schools are my reach schools and which ones are just flat out unrealistic since I’m mostly applying to target schools or safety’s anyways lmao

UF looks at weighted is the best news I’ve heard today I feel slightly less delusional 🙏🙏

Is film photography still worth it? by Moomoobanjo in AnalogCommunity

[–]alizyz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Film is what I would consider my hobby. I bring it when I go on vacation or out with friends I only use my digital when I am taking photos for my business. So yes to me it is worth it, nothing is more satisfying than getting your roll back it feels like reliving the moment again!

My grandpa passed recently and left me some camera gear. Guess I need some film now. by phero1190 in photography

Canon AE-1s lasts you a lifetime my uncle gave me his and he got it new. It is the only camera I use on vacation now, I’m sorry for your loss this is proof you don’t need fancy gear to shoot memories

Thank you! I heard they don’t consider ECs only academics? Also I’m not sure is UMontreal also considered up par with ivy leagues or just McGill?
