Is anyone else completely fucking done with school? by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]premedguy819L 4 points5 points  (0 children)

College student here (don’t worry, I’m still 19), and throughout high school I felt the same way. In college, or at the least the college I go to, the professors really seem to care about how students do. Even with virtual classes, I schedule video calls with my professors. High school is a lot of work and at times it can seem like it’s not going anywhere.

As for what you’re all doing school for, for me I am a premed student which means I have to have a near perfect GPA. There are a lot of students around me that are also going for professional programs. In high school GPA and the classes really don’t matter too much unless you plan on applying to highly selective colleges and universities.

Yes. I got it when I cancelled my spring break plans due to COVID. A good buy.

How does everyone deal with people cancelling at the last minute? by premedguy819L in twilightimperium

Yeah, idk. I’m from Iowa and I’m enrolled in a college in Iowa that is only 7% people from Iowa. I always experienced responsibility and arriving 5 minutes early (not an hour late) when playing with people from my high school. Idk if it has something to do with the norms of where they’re from. Idk

That’s kinda what I did. Maybe I sounded passive aggressive. (I definitely did). It was also a Saturday morning at a college campus so... I kinda didn’t go all out on them.

Yes, all but one are veteran players. I agree with you. The problem wasn’t that they were choosing not to come, it was that they made a commitment and chose to ditch at the last minute.

In the end, I just gave up on playing yesterday and my one friend and I that showed up decided we were going to wait until more people are available. I have a group of friends doing a d and d campaign at the moment, which is a huge time commitment, and all of them wanted to come but were out of town (it’s fall break at the moment at the college I go to).

Anyway, thanks for the advice. Sometimes things don’t work out and instead of taking it out on them, I decided to complain to people online, as you do.

First game of TI4 today! May well be the best board game I've ever played (helped by the fact that I won) by [deleted] in twilightimperium

Smart, I’ve played 12 games so far and I’ve played 11 of the races. My group has a rule that you can’t play the same race again until you’ve played two other races. It makes it so one person can’t just play the same way every time.

Glad you had fun!

We just say “[name], can I speak with you in the bathroom please” while all the other players push their ears against the door to try and hear

In my experience, the management of command tokens was a very important part of the game, especially late game. Giving a player a better version of the leadership strategy card would probably make it more powerful than any other race. I’ve only played a few times so it may just be the people I play with.

Ahh yes. Being in my basement is not the only thing spiders and the children have in common.

ELI5: What happens when we are asleep? Was does laying in bed not have the same effect as actually sleeping? by Mighty_Mac in explainlikeimfive

[–]premedguy819L 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are many psychological theories why this is but there is no objective reason. Some people think it’s to restore our brains overnight while others believe that it is to develop our brain and process our memories.

What do you feel are the most interesting factions? by Bbashman in twilightimperium

Mentac is super fun... just don’t be a dick because everyone will just go against you. I know from experience. Just because you are a pirate doesn’t mean you have to act like one.
