still a work in progress but oh well (dont mind how goofy the hand looks i purposefully avoided drawing them for my whole course, even opted to SCULPT one for my final piece instead of drawing it 🫠)
I did a piece on large canvas board (around A3 size if i remember correctly?) for my art exam but idk how to display it when I get it back lol, it has a 3d aspect to it so idk of i can just get any frame or if some of them have glass coverings on them?
does anyone have a good laptop rec for computer science A level? preferably one that has the ability to fold into a tablet bc im also taking maths, also on the budget end bc im planning on getting one through bursary and idk how much money they'll give. thanks in advanced!
chances of me doing A levels are low, my main choice is T level, so ive only got them as a backup really, but anyway. my first 2 choices would be comp sci and maths because I want to do something in tech during the future due to being good with coding and stuff, but im debating between art or physics for my third, one one hand i know physics would really help me but im worried I would struggle since I didnt really get any good at science until mid to end year 11. on the other hand art is my passion and I wanted to take it to keep my options open in case I end up deciding that thats what I want to pursue later doen the line, but unsure if it would be viable considering how different it is to my other 2 subjects.
also, does anyone know the process for doing an epq? like, do I have to talk to them about it on results day, or is it a thing that I would apply to do after I start?
how many of you guys are bringing a parent or guardian with you to results day? I was tempted to let my mum come with me so she can see what i get when I open it (since im planning on looking inside the school rather than waiting) but I dont wanna be doing all that if its gonna be barely any other parents bc ik she will feel awkward if thats the case
I have a Wii emulator on my switch but it doesnt support split Wii files as far as I know, i tries to look in Wii backup manager to merge files (i since i used it to split them) but cant figure it out, any tips?
in theory if i have an android partition on my switch couldnt I just download my roms directly to there then install them fully inside atmosphere rather than having to get a computer involved or am I missing something here?
does anyone here know how collection of your coursework works? ive heard that students cant collect until November bc thats when remarking stops or sumn but my school email gets cut off in October so im worried about how im gonna be able to know the date 😩✌️
99% chance ima end up in a T level, anyone got advice to keep me sane? im taking mine in software development or sumn and thinking whether or not i should teach myself some stuff beforehand but idk
I was wondering if anyone can build a dark aero theme for me? think 2000s Xbox type of vibes, ill attach some images of inspiration for backgrounds but feel free to go out and find one that better fits the layout (sticking on theme ofc 😉) I love having cool layouts for the apps but its completely up to you how to organise it! good luck and thanks in advance for anyone who takes this up! 🥹
is it just me or is the final boss weirdly easy? like there were actual levels way harder than that, when I finished it I was expecting another part but nope, cortex just goes right down 😔✌️
im 16 with overprotective parents, I want to roam around and actually go places but it always turns into spam texts asking where I am and what im doing which gets exhausting when I know how to handle myself and just wanna live my life. is there any way to make it seem like im moving around a location im not? I know theres spoofers to have you in a set location but being dead still somewhere isnt quite believable
anyone know how to fix?
idk where else to ask this so here i am! im currently in the middle of picking a college/6th form and my first choice is purely vocational and will set me up with a degree apprenticeship within their facilities once ive finished my course (most likely a T level so it wiuld be difficult to go uni with that course anyway, plus being already set up with easy access to firther education feels like a nice bonus) but my second choice was to do A levels and then go to uni. I know uni probably has better networking opportunities that could prove useful down the line, but at the same time, i feel like a degree apprenticeship would set me up in my career better due to getting actual experience.
so do your magic and help me decide my future!
(if it helps, I want to go into tech, probably software development)
I found a book. the cover had creases, like battle scars. the pages were torn, some missing, others loosely slotted. the hand-written ink was smudged, like mascara after shed tears.
I read the solemn chapters. picturing pain. a life unwanted. and yet it was created.
I near the end of a chapter, the pages fall loose from my fingers, dropping to the ground with a finality, the ending now unknown. I dont bother to look, after all, this isn't a book written by me. so why would I care what could have been?
I peek at the most recent chapter in this unresolved novel. this one's different. happier. bright. I glance at discarded pages, resenting their torturous nature. but i return them. because this writer knew.
a flicker of light is only seen in the darkness.
(I couldn't figure out formatting on here, so where you see punctuation is supposed to be a new line)
honestly, I just randomly started thinking about this topic and figured a poem would be better than keeping it in my head. BUT ANYWAY FEEDBACK IS WELCOME!!!
"You're getting so big!"
they said with joy to a child still so small.
id grin and flaunt my stature,
standing on my tippie toes,
prancing around my mother.
I loved being told I was growing up
after all, what else could "big" ever mean?
"She's getting so big..."
the words echoed in my head.
they ring all wrong.
suddenly, the meaning changed.
it was an insult.
something disgusting.
subhuman.
I dont quite remember how it disappeared.
just fuzzy memories.
ones that built up over time,
of being disgusted by food,
missing meals,
counting calories.
they plague my mind,
with no clear start
and no foreseeable end.
now I lay exhausted.
skeletal frame.
head spinning.
stomach hurting.
afraid.
But at least what i was is forever my secret to keep.
