Like I can be reading a long ass passage on the SAT, and midway through I realize i've just been reading it but not READING it in means that like i haven't actually been concentrating or understanding it, on like certain texts it takes me multiples go overs and reads to even subtly understand it, and most of the time I just give up and move to the next text because of how complex the inital text is, anyone else experience this? If so how do you conquer it?

I know that getting into West Point the traditional method from civilian is extremely hard, like the acceptance rate is like 10-13%. But if you enter the Army/Military you can apply to West Point via a program the acceptance rate rises DRASTICALLY. I don't know the exact details but it sounds to good to be true. For anyone who knows anything about doing this method like is their a catch? How come so many people get accepted? Like is it a different process? I REALLY want to get into the United States Military Academy and I will do ANYTHING to get in but I feel like theirs a lot of competition in my district and not entirely sure if I could make it in or not via the regular path

I have officer positions in 1 club (Which im expecting to start rising to higher positions especially in junior year), and Im president of another club at my school both with decent-high attendance, and also a member of another club, also volunteer at my Rescue & Ambulance (That's why im going to EMT School in the fall) And i'm still working on trying to get a decent SAT score since I know thats a huge impact. and MAYBE a varsity letter for mens volleyball (But honestly I'm not that great so..) I also do have connections with my local gov and mayor and I really want to weigh my odds and chances.

17 and I want to make a cat patio for my cat, im sure my parents will fund me a little for things to buy and build. I know their are some cat patios sets on the internet but those don’t really fit my style, how much did you diy people spend to make yours?

Like maybe im just going insane, but whenever I loose my airpods and I turn on the sound it like reverberates everywhere and makes it like 10x harder to locate then it should be. Like im deadass going across the room thinking the sounds coming from their but its not and it turns out to be on the other side of the room.

By using a VPN we can bypass the IP Add banning, so when I make a new account to avoid the IP ban for a specific game and I enter the game with the VPN ON, can I turn the VPN off? The reason why is for performance issues and ping issues that occurs with the VPN ON. Do I have to keep it on indefinetely or?

I know theirs a lot of differences or ideas on the capabilities of having a freshly new 17yom as a EMT but what are your opinions on underage EMTS, who are literally certified to give basic life saving care.

Im a 16yom(Turning 17 in less then a month) with Asian parents, as Asian parents are their pretty strict. But I've held my own, I'm not necessarily the perfect child and ill try to make this the most neutral to make it less biased. My phone is completely fine, zero parental controls on my iphone which I'm pretty sure they don't know that parental control on phones exist so I'm happy about that. Currently I hold my own by keeping my academics up without my parents having to tell me anything, like to tell me to do HW, study, or , joining clubs, holding multiple club officer positions and sports etc, I'm going to EMT school to get certified during the fall this year ontop of taking multiple AP courses for junior year (I already work in EMS & Rescue as a volunteer). Sort of / partially own a non profit as my sister (The original founder) is handing it off to me slowly since she graduated, and I'm pretty responsible, clean my room etc go to the gym, and I go to sleep on my own at around 11 pm, and I feel more mature compared to other people (But this is subjective so don't hold me to it).

I've had parental controls and strict game control for basically my whole life, around until like the age of like 10 me, and my two sisters were only allotted 3 hours only on Sundays every week on split screen on the XBOX 360, no changes for the summer, and by 10 yo I've had a PC, before they added parental controls I can be honest I was sort of a computer addict, I hopped on everytime I could since I really didn't have any friends in school) playing games like Roblox and Minecraft, and since it was 10 yo me who had little to no concept of the future or what the hell im doing and I don't even remember how much I played but it was a lot, so then they added parental controls, which allowed them to track what websites, block youtube videos (I can still watch restricted videos on my phone) add certain game times and completely lock my computer. So they sort of kept it on till then, my parents didn't really know all the functions and gimmicks so they only focused on game time restrictions or blocking it. Now this brings me into current times. It's Summer Break, I go to school to study for the SAT for 5.5 hours every day, do my homework, go to the gym, etc, then I hop on the game, (I don't go out often with friends since I don't really have that many). To be honest I was playing games for lengthy periods in the start of my "freedom" as my dad eventually unlocked most of the functions on my computer if I could say around 6-7 hours of games a day ( I KNOW ITS A LOT), BUT. Usually when I have this rare ounce of freedom where everything's unlocked I usually go on a purge, play for long periods of time, but then usually within a week I start getting bored playing online games and I sort of burn out so I spend less time gaming to around 2-4 hours on AVERAGE for the rest of the summer break (besides the first purge week). I really have nothing else to do during summer break like any other kid, no vacations since I already had one at the start of the day and nobody's really that close enough with me to ask me to hang out (I probably hang out with more adults with my duty crew in EMS then people my age out of school ) (Also im sorry I used a lot of parenthesis) and im just waiting for the impending doom of academic junior year since I'm taking a leap on the academic level by taking like 4 AP's, going to EMT school, volunteering, club leadership etc, and I assume that I will probably have little to no free time in playing games. Now today I sort of got busted as my mom checked on the stats and banned me from any entertainment on computer so I'm honestly just sitting here writing this out of straight boredom as I have nothing to do. Do you think im in the wrong for this? Do I deserve it?

Edit: Just wanted to add this within a year I will legally be certified and trained to save lives, but yet I cannot decide on my own independence on controlling how much time I can play?

Me, my Mom, my sister and her Aunt from Korea are going on a Cruise around next year and our port will be around NYC, none of them are like party types or drink as much and are looking for relaxing cruising with fun and ammenities etc, is this type of cruise better for them over Carnival?

I'm taking the August 22nd SAT This summer and I have like these expensive summer classes for it leading up to that date. Meaning I should take it that date if I want to keep on top of all my notes and classes, now I have 2 options.

1. Waitlist of SAT hosting schools in around a 10 mile radius which is around like 4 schools (pretty stupid since I can't even see how many people waitlisted or not)
2. Take the nearest application which CONFIRMS That I WILL Get a location but the nearest is 1 hour and 45 minutes away, meaning I'll probably have to get a hotel nearby so I don't have to take up at like 5 or 6 in the morning to prep and drive there.

What should I do? I have the SAT in 2 months and I didn't expect it to fill up so quick, any advice? I am using BigFutureSchool to sign up for the SAT about the new waitlist feature.

IF I do waitlist that means I opt out whilst im on the waitlist for APPLYING to SAT locations that HAVE spots. And If I don't get a spot and its late it may have me drive multiple hours away.
