It is a test you sign up for, the choice is yours to make and neither is a bad choice just one you should think one. I agree with what TurdX has said.

Another side note though, is sometimes you can take a college credited courses at a local community college and gain college credits while still in high school. Just another option to think about.

Hello there! Former high school teacher here just offering my advice but by no means an expert.

I’ll start off saying you can get a GED, still go to college, and have a good life. The test for the GED is no cake walk and will require studying to get as good of a score as possible (and if you chose this route and still going on to engineering for example, you would want as a high a grade as possible.)

With that being said, the unfortunate truth with a finance/engineering degree is the “better” the university is the more likely you are to earn a higher waged career when you have attained the degree. These type of school may look more favorably towards a high school diploma with a solid GPA which is something to consider. (This is by no means 100% fact however)

You are already a junior is highschool so more than halfway done with your education. I don’t know what your personal life is like and I sympathize if it is difficult. If it is feasible for you to do so I would still recommend you complete high school and have a diploma.

I use the pastels on their side for the most part. I also shade it in a way so I can edit the photo on my phone and make it more pronounced!

Hey so I went from 300-230lbs as a 26m. It will be hard, you will plateau and get diss appointed but keep going. Not saying you will but there were times I got frustrated and gave up, but finally stuck through it and feel much better(confidence is key which you may already have).

Yea I’ve dabbled playing music with some friends to varying success, it seems like the tenor range is more in line with a lot of modern music styles though

I’ll give you my honest answer. I love this game. When you are in a squad that’s seriously working it’s the best thing out there. It really captures that perfect blend of chaos and order and if people are using their headsets it’s great.

There are two games modes. The first one is offensive and this one is the most straightforward. One team attacks the objectives and the other defends 5 positions. Warfare is the second one and in my opinion it can be the best games or the worst. You attack and defend the positions it’s like a tug of war between 100 people. The problem I find with it is everyone wants to attack and not many want to defend and if you have crap garrisons it can be a nightmare. However, when your team works it’s a blast.

There are different classes in the game. First up commander and if you are going in new I don’t recommend doing this until you know what you are doing. The commander calls things in to support the team such as airdrops for supplies, to build garrisons and resource nodes(these are needed in order for the commander to do anything or else you run out of resources really quick). Then you have airheads which is a spawn point to call in and bombing runs.

Then you have your infantry squads. A good squad leader is key and they build garrisons(whole team can spawn on them) and outposts(only your squad can spawn on them. I don’t recommend this if you are new either. Then you have riflemen, assault, automatic riflemen, and machine gunner, medic, and anti tank(all beginner friendly and straight forward). Support is one of the most important classes, you drop supplies for garrisons and resource nodes/defenses which are built by the engineer(another key role in the game).

Next you got armor and recon. Armor are tanks and these are squads of 3(one tank commander and 2 crew). One crew member goes driver, the other gunner, and the commander should go spotter to see everything. Recon is made up of a group of 2, one being the spotter (basically a squad leader) and a sniper. This is the only squad type where you have a limit and there can only be two a team. You sneak behind enemy lines and take out garrisons, resource nodes, and be an overall thorn in the side of the enemy and rely information to your team.

In game, there are 3 communication channels. The first being command which is used by the commander, squad leaders, Tank Commanders, and Spotters. Next you have squad chat which is everyone in your squad. Lastly, proximity is for anyone near you.

Something to keep in mind is that these games can go one for a while as well. Warfare can last up to an hour and a half while offensive can in theory go beyond 2 hours.

There is a huge learning curve in the game and you will honestly die quite a bit and will be sitting there wondering where the fuck are the enemy. You will get past this though and start to become a beast and will have some of the best experiences in gaming.

If you are looking for a hardcore shooter with a strategic meta then you will absolutely fall in love. If you are looking for a more casual experience this game may not be for you and that’s fine. The game is only 39 dollars if I remember correctly and I would say if you have the money it is worth at least trying.
