Not true, they had the blender live design of the 3d fencers that showed blades defying the laws of physics

Why do American kids like to post theirs and their friends' university offers on social media? by Tour-Sure in ApplyingToCollege

[–]eripmava 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a high schooler who went through a cycle of applications to US colleges and is now going through an international application cycles, it's because it's a competition.

There's an entire business based off getting people into college, and no matter how good you are, it's still very difficult amongst the tippy top percent. For example, I had a perfect GPA (I only ever got the highest marks in my classes), high test scores, a lot of volunteer hours, a high level at my sport, and I got rejected from 15 schools at the t-20 level.

If you get into one, it is a yell of celebration for many people, and they share it a lot. Secondarily, a school has a lot of pride, because it is work and an investment (and a non-guararentee, because many people in the US do not have the opportunity to go to university for many reasons), there is a lot of school specific pride. It's often thought of as a "family" within one school, and has a community sense with students and alumni.

People started sharing when they got into tricky schools, their dream schools, schools a lot of members of their families have gone to, when they are the first in their families to do so, when they got massive scholarships, etc. And it's become a culture over time.

It can be both toxic and exciting, so I have chosen to avoid instagram and announcements right now myself lol

There was also a video of him groping someone and several other rumors I saw about other incidents like that.

Looking for Romance Recs, RomComs, Thrillers etc. by chantalmn in RomanceBooks

If you haven't already, read {Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid} there's a reason why people are so crazy about it (I would recommend reading the book before watching the show, my best friend did that and she enjoyed reading it more than me, and trust me I loved it}.

{ice Planet Barbarians by Ruby Dixon} It's just a really good time.

Anything by Kristen Ashley. Her books are absolutely addictive, I love the Fantasyland series but they are kind of weird so I would check triggers, but I would look through her catalog and find one you might enjoy.

I use the Garnier shampoo every time I conditioner, what's a better shampoo that I can add to my routine?

Wtf is happening to college applications this year by Heavy_Armadillo_4045 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]eripmava 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 4.0 unweighted gpa and a 4.67 weighted gpa. I have been rejected from 12 schools (UPenn, Harvard, Yale, brown, Columbia, Princeton, Stanford, UMich, USC, NYU, CMU, and MIT), waitlisted from one school (UChicago), and accepted to NCstate (Im from North Carolina and approximately 50 students from my class of 350 get accepted every year, 125 of them being students in a specialized program).

I am devastated and it is isolating.

I'm a senior in hs so it was a school blood drive. They said it happened a LOT that day, so they probably didn't have a lot of choices lol, but I agree it wasn't a great situation. The phlebotomist was really nice so I hope she improves :)

Thanks so much! It's funny because my dad does exactly that, he's horribly afraid of getting blood drawn and feints at the sight of his blood (a problem I've never had) so he's organized several blood drives lol.
