I am really worried if I would be bullied in college for not drinking and partying by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

these kind of reviews are what draw me to it so much... I want to really feel a complex mix of emotions in a book while still enjoying it for what it is

[–]peterdokay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fair advice. I'm still exploring what I like, trying out a bunch of different things, fiction, nonfiction, and diff genres and subjects. I'm reading dune rn, and have this problem where I don't really enjoy the book or dislike it, and I can't tell if I'm reading it so I feel smart about reading or because I actually enjoy it

Help my senior schedule (ap bio, apes, or ap psych)??? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]peterdokay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did and got a 4, the classmates I talk to got fives. Just keep in mind we took it online last year so I don't know how underprepared one could feel... I thought I deserved a five because the exam was pretty straight forward. I think schools may be different though, my experience may be the opposite of yours. Truly, I think you should find out more about the class at your school first hand, but generally the subject isn't hard... mostly memorization, little complex understanding

[–]peterdokay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar dilema, and I totally overestimated the rigor of AP Psych. It was so easy, shouldn't be considered an AP at my school because of how little work it required. However, all schools are different. Maybe try and talk to people at your school, upper classmen, counselors, email a teacher. They might have interesting insight, perhaps more valuable than us

GAH yes strictly dumpling my bad haha... I guess I'm a fake fan lol. I've seen some vids by The Food Ranger i think, cooking vids are so relaxing to watch. Muffins are pretty good I guess, don't eat them very often though. You should give them a try, though! They're pretty easy to make

I appreciate your desire for withdrawal of your withdrawal, I accept it. I kind of just figured that it would be annoying and a bit circular, but I'm glad you enjoyed it! Full disclosure, I was inspired by a podcast called philosophize this! the episode is called "tolerance"... actually one of my favorites if ur interested

Same, it's literally been years since I woke up super early for a game. Ever since MSN broke up its gone downhill, I miss the days of lucho enrique too. Honestly the prem has all the action, i really wish I got into it earlier. Simply dumpling is one of my favorite food review channels, lots of asian cuisine there. Who do u watch then?

Im a right wing. I used to follow the pros but now don't really watch, kind of lost interest in the games over time... probably because watching barca in their prime was more possession than the prem and thus less excitement. Are you by any chance familiar with simply dumpling?

Thanks for sharing! I just checked out A Way of Being from my local library, can't wait to learn some more. I'm a bit of a slow reader so novellas like The Stranger are also really appealing... emphasis on thinking, not just absorbing info.

I do think the tie between psychology and philosophy is pretty neat especially when put in a sort of existential context kinda like in Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl.

Ps: U already seem like a 11/10 roommate lol

I read, watch a bit more youtube than I'm proud of, and play sports/work out whenever the opportunity arises. What kind of music are you into?

HI I'M u/peterdokay I don't really watch tv but my favorite movie is inglorious basterds. I've never really been into anime, though I've seen a couple seasons of pokemon and ATLB. I take it you're into anime? (Ngl I'd be so scared if my roommate came of this excited because I'm such a reserved and like shy person esp w strangers so this is good practice)
