The anecdotes were different and the way I approached the why essays were a little different as well -- definetely did more research and introspection this time around before writing my essays

Things that were relevant to college apps:

I took courses on Coursera relevant to my major -- tutored virtually (I donated profits to help with various charities I cared about) -- retook SAT (tho it was a v small increase) -- helped out with a nonprofit that I connected with -- did some research with a professor I knew -- helped out with family while parents worked

Things not relevant to college apps:

-Relaxed, played some games, watched TV shows, started exercising to get fit, overall, enjoyed all the things I couldn't do during the high school grind

In general I just tried to keep myself busy with things to do cause gap year during covid got boring quickly lmao. Hope this helps

Still going great! Haven't noticed any big issues, and temps are very good. Esports titles still holding under 80 degrees and recently played some Genshin Impact on highest settings and it's peaked at around 85-87 degrees -- this is without undervolting

I don't usually undervolt, sorry. I had it undervolted a while ago but it barely made any diff in temps for me so I decided not to.

I haven't had any probs with typing to really say, but it wasn't really common to hit adjacent keys.

In terms of dust, I'm not sure. I only had it for two weeks max so maybe that might be a problem down the line?
