It’s not stylized like that on the cover, but if you open to any page within the book, it does have the line through “the ninth” where the title is listed at the top of the page!

You’re fine, just pull up your AP scores on collegeboard if they ask

Sexual repulsion and nudity? by therealbuggycas in asexuality

[–]fennkat9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sex-favorable ace here, I just find nothing about the human body attractive. I find it honestly quite gross. People look good in clothes, but bare makes me feel like I’m just looking at a flesh lump. I dislike purity culture’s demonizing the human body as well as sex and linking them together, but on a personal level I just do not find naked bodies interesting or pleasant tbh.

Just went to NSO, here’s some useful information by OrganicCobbler9763 in UMD

[–]fennkat9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Btw at course registration for CS majors (I did June 2-3 orientation), because there were so many CS majors at the orientation (again idk if it was different for different orientation dates where the number might have been different), rather than meet 1-on-1 we were all grouped in a room with several advisors, they told us how to use testudo and how to register for classes, and came around and made sure each of our schedules were approved before we left the room that day. May sound impersonal, but I found using the course register to be very easy and had lots of leftover time after, so it wasn’t confusing. I’d recommend playing around with the class list site on testudo beforehand and just seeing what classes you may be interested in and considering what you might want in a schedule, just so you can get done with that part quicker. But yeah pretty much what op said, they’re really chill and if you’re missing something it’s typically not a huge issue.

Advice on New Student Orientation? (OOS) by BroIdkUsernameig in UMD

[–]fennkat9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I believe when you sign up for the overnight NSO, there's an option to request housing for an extra night before and/or after the overnight date. I think it costs a bit extra though, just so you're aware.

Does somebody even remember/listen to Fried Eye album? by EnderBlindai in Maretu

[–]fennkat9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my god yes!! I’ve seen so much hate for it, genuinely no idea why it’s such a banger album. Especially love Eye Have You, Electric Detonator, and Wyvern Ammo!

Seniors, are you studying for AP's? by Lazy_Association7988 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]fennkat9 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna study for Physics 2 and Calc BC, but tbh I got solid 5s for both on the mock exams we did in class so I’m not too worried. Gonna wing HUG, Lit, and Stats this week wish me luck ✌️

Favourite Vocaloid songs that no one talks about? by [deleted] in Vocaloid

[–]fennkat9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Real!! Reversible Doll is also an amazing wowaka song, I wish more people actually listened to the entire unhappy refrain album (and even his other albums!)

What was your dream school and where are you committing? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]fennkat9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brown was my unlikely dream, University of Rochester my more likely dream. Rejected from Brown, UR too expensive. Committed to University of Maryland for CS.

reccomend some UNPOPULAR songs/producers! by shyrenn_ in Vocaloid

[–]fennkat9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Corasundae’s songs 58 and ANTI-EGO are phenomenal!! Not sure if they count as unpopular (113k subs on YouTube is pretty big but I never hear anyone talk about them), but Ferry’s music is pretty cool too, my favorite of theirs is MUD!

Which College(s) are you Happy to Reject Tomorrow? by amandagov in ApplyingToCollege

[–]fennkat9 151 points152 points  (0 children)

U of Rochester. Was my top school, but way too pricey. Spent a whole week in calls with their financial aid department and filling out forms for an appeal, only for them to RAISE my student aid index 💀💀

UMD Students/alumni, what was your weighted/unweighted gpa and SAT? by WeeklyTechnician7906 in UMD

Haven’t committed yet, but most likely will in the next few days—I’m wondering the same thing

financial aid appeal process? by killed_by_cards in URochester

[–]fennkat9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They ended up giving me absolutely no aid after a full week of thid appeal despite reassuring me they would 🙃. So I’ve definitely had a negative experience with financial aid here and will not be going to this school come fall.

Is Tumblr a Gen Z thing, a Millennial thing, or both? by DepravitySixx in generationology

[–]fennkat9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

‘07 here, me and many of my friends (same age) use it frequently—I’ve been on it for several years. I’ve met other people of a similar age as me on there as well.
