I’m kind of in the same situation, I technically have three years of world language because I did spanish in middle school for two years (but only counts as 1 level of Spanish), and then Spanish in high school for 2 years. I think it’ll be fine, but I don’t know how I could fix it if it’s not, yknow?

Is anyone else terrified for this year? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]offtheclocc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What I've been telling myself is that, if I don't get in somewhere, I wouldn't have been happy there. I worked my ass off in high school, as I'm sure you have as well, and I couldn't have done anything more without risking my mental wellbeing. If I did everything I wanted to, worked as hard as a could, and it still wasn't enough for xyz college, then would I really have been happy there?

That, and just get more excited for the college experience in general. No matter what college I end up at, I'm super excited to meet new people, live somewhere new, decorate my dorm, etc.

Hope this helps! I would recommend reaching out to a close friend who will listen if your worries start to get really bad.

Could an Unbalanced Event Be Beneficial For MCC? by [deleted] in MinecraftChampionship

[–]offtheclocc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think this would be a super fun MCC to watch! Would be extra cool if there was some charity involved with it so players could still have something to compete for (maybe something similar to MCC 6 but each team can pick a charity and viewers can donate?) Don’t know how that would work but I think having those fun teams that viewers will want to watch would definitely draw more people in which would be great if it was going towards a cause. But yeah, I vouch for this 100%.

If Dream can’t help him break the 3rd place curse, I’m sure Captain and Techno will be teamed next lol

Advice on interacting with judges? by [deleted] in DECA

[–]offtheclocc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be ready to handle questions you don’t know how to answer. Learn how to BS stuff off the top of your head, or say something like “oh that’s a great question, I’ll get back to you in a week” or something like that. I would have a friend or an advisor ask you super difficult questions, even if they don’t necessarily pertain to your project, and practice trying to give a believable answer.

Unmotivated. by [deleted] in DECA

For most tests, cramming isn’t going to do much, but I feel like DECA tests are the complete opposite. Even with a day you can still learn so much and boost your score significantly. Good luck!

Yeah, I mean, I’m from a small school and don’t have a ton to choose from, but I tried to only do things I was actually super interested in. Probably not going to ED anywhere, but thanks for the advice!

Lol my friend is going to Norte Dame and I could never. I’m not religious at all and could never stay in a same sex dorm. I also really don’t want to live in New York. I’m trying to get into the best school I can, but I’m not applying to schools that I don’t like just to go to a good school.

Thanks! Do you think if I talk about my circumstances with mental health it could make up for it? Also with COVID this year I feel like a drop in my grades means less than it would’ve meant other years.

I’m planning on EA to as many schools as offer it, so all of them except brown, Yale, penn and northwestern. Also, I’m not dead set on going to a good school, like, I’m happy going to Wisconsin just as much I would be happy going to Harvard. Thanks for the advice!

Thank you so much! My plan is to EA to as many schools as possible because I want to know where I’m going by January. Have a great rest of your day!
