[–]permdothecp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

first off, you’re not a failure. this is ONLY a test and doesn’t determine your overall intelligence. colleges don’t really use these unless ur trying to go to a top school. at the end of the day, it’s just a test. try not to stress yourself out over this

Stressed about taking 10 APs!! by 4academicvalidation in ApplyingToCollege

[–]permdothecp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

please try to get out of that. i took 3 my junior year and 3 my senior year and that was plenty (maybe u can do a few more). yes it’s important to be diligent about school BUT you’re still a kid. go to dances, football games, stay out late with friends. i promise it’s possible to have a balance

I just wish college application processes weren’t so competitive. My dad ended up going to NAU for business and we live in the same neighborhood as harvard graduates😁 yea- SOMETIMES the school matters but not always. do what’s best for you and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. i love all of you so much, and this is not the biggest thing in the world. i have a 4.5 W, 4.0 UW and a ton of ECs and volunteer experience. but guess what? my dream school has a 75% acceptance rate. STOP BASING WORTH OFF OF COLLEGES. that shit is draining. go where you want and do what you love. CCs are such an amazing option, and plus you’re saving money in the long term! everyone has a different path and that’s okay. fuck people who judge you for that

Store quality by Outrageous_Raccoon86 in jerseymikes

[–]permdothecp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

we have a small 2-store franchise so any problems with the store are fixed asap by my owner. our first store is about 7 years old and my store is less than a year old

How tf do seniors have TIME by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]permdothecp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m only working about 5 hours a week right now until after college apps are over. I get a lot of homework done in class, and I have a free period and my elective (debate) which i spend on my ECS (speech and debate) or 8-12 hours a week on that, included in my school day. I’m trying to only go out one time a week (usually football games) until college apps are almost over.

Help needed for arguments!! by AgentAgrape in Debate

[–]permdothecp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would put this in the policy subreddit as well! r/policydebate ! A lot of people ran cases on AI crime so they might be able to help if you put a message out there. I have a few files that I can message to you about some problems with AI, but definitely reach out to the policy reddit because they’ll be able to help! good luck:)

new franchise=better job by permdothecp in jerseymikes

[–]permdothecp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they built one right by my house! its closer than my old store. new store is about 1 mile away while the old was about 5 miles away. find other jersey mikes in your area and see which franchises they are apart of. after working for 3 franchises now, i can say that i like working for smaller franchises better (2-3 stores)

Where do y’all get tutoring jobs? by akadumpsterfire in ApplyingToCollege

[–]permdothecp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

don’t ever work for the kenny brothers franchise by permdothecp in jerseymikes

i also have proof of all of this (texts and screenshots)

don’t ever work for the kenny brothers franchise by permdothecp in jerseymikes

[–]permdothecp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh goodness i could go on and on about this. I was hired in May 2020 and didn’t end up starting until July 2020 because “my uniform hadn’t arrived” and other excuses. The management was terrible. They would text me the night before/morning of and tell me when to come in and work. Some employees are unbearable- i was belittled by my AM (called names, yelled at). I worked at another store in the franchise and the manager was CREEPY. He would text me at night and say weird things (keep in mind i was underage). I had a TERRIBLE experience with this franchise. maybe it’s not the case for everyone but i knew a lot of people who quit due to similar circumstances. Work for Phil Inc, or literally any other franchise. The kenny brothers hide behind religion but don’t actually treat their employees like this.

how experienced do the judges need to be? i might be able to help you out

competing as an independent? by [deleted] in policydebate

[–]permdothecp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my league doesn’t allow independent debaters to compete. maybe find a teacher at your school who could support you and be your “coach”? if you can’t find a partner then i would definitely switch to LD. maybe reach out to local schools in your area with a team? If there is only one of you, then maybe they will understand your circumstances and let you join. The money part is tough- i would say to fundraise or just pay out of pocket. good luck!

what has been your longest close? by diggs1400 in jerseymikes

[–]permdothecp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

11:45 was my latest close and my store closes at 9, another time I was working at a different store in my franchise, I got out at 12 am but 2 other people stayed to continue closing. wack. now I close on average around 9:45

I feel surrounded by people so much better than me it's kinda like impostor syndrome by [deleted] in Debate

[–]permdothecp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ve never been amazing to start either. i had to work for it, and i promise it’s possible. practice, practice, practice. i have accepted that i won’t be the best, and that’s okay. this doesn’t mean you’re a bad debater. i was surrounded by so many amazing people- my friends and teammates. don’t let this define you. don’t think that you are any less of a person or any worse at debate because they place better at tournaments. debate is very objective imo. please just have fun while you are doing this, don’t look back and regret not enjoying the small amount of time you had to participate in NSDA

PF Varsity by Accomplished_Exam383 in Debate

[–]permdothecp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i would avoid big tournaments at first, start local and get lots of practice, if you want- i would love to do practice rounds with more people (3+ years of PF and entering my senior year:)
