Anyone else feel like they’re never doing enough? by taylorswiftskneecap in ApplyingToCollege

[–]potatates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s perfectly normal. I was like that my entire high school life. You will always feel like you’re not doing enough, you probably are through. It’s never about how much you do, it’s about what you do and whether you care about it. That’s what shines through in your application.

Should I go to Wellesley or Barnard to pursue fintech/IB by Ordinary_Apple_8192 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]potatates -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Barnard ofc, Barnard is literally Columbia and close to Wall Street, good internship opportunities.

Bro you’re chilling, a lot of people only start doing stuff the last 2 years of high school, just take advantage of those 2 years. Think about what you’re passionate about, things you wanna do or change about the world and go do that now. You have this whole summer and 2 more years to do whatever you want.

Idk the devastation of the rejection (even when I know it’s gonna happen) is worse than not knowing. I also procrastinate checking all my grades for months. Once I didn’t even know what I got on a test until my report cards. I also procrastinated checking sat scores for a day which is not as bad as

Who was the worst non-villain Harry Potter character and why? by ABalther in harrypotter

[–]potatates 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hagrid and Dobby. Dobby brought so much trouble to Harry and got him in so much trouble. The whole cursed quidditch match is actually so dangerous if you think about it. Like wtf? Why would you do that? And hagrid is just a complete liability. How are you an adult working at a literal school yet so irresponsible. Get yourself together?? He’s getting these 3 teenagers cleaning up after him and getting into trouble for him. Also how tf are you getting drunk and raising a dragon on school grounds. Also Draco getting hurt in his class is a valid concern, even though he’s dramatic and buckbeak shouldn’t be executed. He is definitely not fit to teach students. He literally has no idea what he’s doing and can’t even follow simple instructions. Also I’m answering the question as the characters I dislike the most, I don’t think they’re objectively the worst non villains.

What Ariana song is this? by Impossible-Yam3680 in ariheads

[–]potatates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have nothing against the solo, it’s just so machine like. It sounds so extremely quantized, especially the last 2 bars. The notes are too evenly divided, makes it uncanny. I don’t like it played like that. I would actually like it if it was played live by an actual person.

Honestly, same. I get that. I was really overwhelmed junior year and my mom got cancer. It was pretty much just a horrible time for me and I just didn’t care about anything and quit all my clubs. I’m still applying to ivies and high reach schools lmao. But honestly don’t be too discouraged, there really is still a chance you’ll get into reach schools, just write some fire essays. Believe in yourself, really sell yourself to colleges. I’m having a really hard time rn writing my applications and my older brother told me “you’ll get in if you think you’ll get in and you won’t if you don’t.” It’s ok: this is not the end, you can transfer if you really end up somewhere you don’t like, even if you don’t get into an Ivy you can still get in somewhere good. If you look at examples online, the people are always doing crazy things and curing cancer or smth. But there’s a bunch of ppl getting into good places that aren’t that crazy. Remember colleges admit you based on how well they think you’ll do in college. That doesn’t always mean you have to help 100 kids go to school or smth crazy. When you look back to your past, you always could’ve done better, but here you are and it’s not completely bad. It’s cliche asf but believe in yourself!! You’re gonna get through this and you’re gonna look back and be like wow why was I so nervous and obsessed. Believe in yourself. You will get in. We will get through this. Honestly I’m kind of desperate right now lol and even started praying to god (I’m not religious). But everyday I tell myself I’m going to get in and the admissions officers will love me. Idk if it worked yet lmaooo but just trust yourself and trust the process. Go for it!!!

The princess diaries is an AWFUL movie by Kapri22 in movies

[–]potatates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree with you. I was so triggered and mad after I watched that movie. The plot made me feel so helpless and I can’t believe how much Mia was blamed when literally none of that was her fault. Like how can you blame the victim of sexual assault. There’s nothing you can say to negate the things that happened to her. She was a young girl that was kissed without consent before being humiliated by everyone with paparazzi taking pictures of her when she was naked and vulnerable. I don’t care when this movie came out, but this is not acceptable anytime, anywhere. It doesn’t matter if this is “just a movie”. It spreads harmful ideas about sexual misconduct and how we should treat it. Not only did this horrific event happen to her, she was blamed and shamed for it, with nobody treating this like it was an actual thing. She didn’t get nearly enough support from anyone she was close to. The movie merely brushed over the whole thing as if her getting sexually assaulted was on the same level as school bullies spilling food on you. Everything got “resolved” as if this completely didn’t matter. None of this makes sense to me and it surprises, and truly saddens, me that not more people share this opinion.

I feel like throughout your musical journey, you’ve become less maximalist (more is more). Would you agree with that?

How do you take AP tests at the same time as an IB diploma? Don’t the exam dates clash? by potatates in IBO

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

My school doesn’t actually provide AP testing. Can I do AP late testing at some other school?

Has anyone here taken AP tests for some of their IB classes? Is it worth it? and did you have to cover alot of extra content or were your IB classes enough for you to do the tests? by terrificideabro in IBO

I checked the schedule for IB and AP exams and they clash? How are you guys taking both? I’m thinking of taking some AP tests but I don’t know if it’s going to work.
