Beginner producer and want to learn conceptually.

I have a MacBook, Ableton, Serum and that's all I play on using for now. However, there is so much information out there that I have no idea where to start. I want to learn software and sound design, and I want to have a deep understanding of the fundamentals of hyper-pop and pop type of music (underscores, SOPHIE, Nina, AG cook, Max Martin, Pinkpantheress). Also, I don't want to blindly follow tutorials and have no idea what the knobs do and just copy them: I want to know what I am actually doing. Yes, I know this will take time, but I just don't know what to do.

EE at Tech or Texas State and Department scholarships

I'm a high school senior; I have a 3.9+ Unweighted GPA, will have an SAT score in the 1400s, and have a lot of college credit. This will qualify me for 8k at Tech, but I have no insight into the department/comp scholarships, since I would need to be a current student to see them (let me know if there are a lot of opportunities). On the other hand, at Texas State, I will receive 12k/year and get a lot of department scholarships/comp, which would cover tuition and help with housing at a lower GPA requirement.

I heard the opportunities at tech are far better, making it easier to get a job. My parents shouldn't have too much trouble paying; though, it is inconvenient, and I do have a younger brother going to college in the next 2 years, which could cause some trouble.

I do plan on working, but no crazy hours.

For EE, I want to go into either power or electronics. Texas State does not have a power concentration. I don't know how much of a big deal that is.

Based on this, any advice would be appreciated.

Barron's text book a good resource?

I am taking AB, but self-studying the BC portion. I really like AP Classroom videos, but will Barron's textbook be good for calculus? I might buy it. His bio one was really good.

Incoming Senior (HS) Electrical Engineering or Accounting?

For context, I love math and will even do it in my free time. I have a good math SAT score, and I will take AP Calculus this year, and I'm in Texas. I'll probably go to Texas State or any of the state schools besides UT and A&M (cost is too high, and state schools will give me significantly more money). Overall, I would say I am in good in school, and I have a great amount of college credit.

However, I am suck between EE and accounting. For one, I am more interested in EE. From a kid, I always was interested in tech and building computers, but the job market scares me, especially since I've never done anything EE or coding. The only thing I know is a little bit about circuits. Recently, EE has increasingly become more completive compared to the past statistically. I seen some of these freshmen and sophomore EE resumes in colleges, and they're sweats.

For a long term career, I just want it to be stable, at least six figures by mid 20s, diverse workplace, have math involved, and social (teamwork), ideally.

Also, for scholarships at these schools, I have to maintain a certain GPA usually around (3.0-3.5) and take 4-5 classes. Electrical engineering is known for being one of the hardest college majors, and I don't want to lose my future scholarship because I chose a hard major and be cooked. Hence, accounting has a great safety net for me.

I still have a lot of time to decide, but I just want to make a smart decision, so I'm not broke or unemployed in the future. I appreciate any insight: good, bad, or realistic.

Electrical Engineer program good?

Hello, I am an upcoming senior in high school thinking about coming here for EE. If you are in the program or have heard about the program, are there a lot of opportunities here at career fairs? Do most kids who put in an effort get internships?

Furthermore, EE is something I would actually want to do, but I have thought about playing it safe and going with accounting if it is good here. I believe I have a strong math background. By the time I come here, I would probably have credit for Calc 1,2 and Physics 1

Edit: thanks for all the input !

Upcoming Senior in High-school C, C++, or Python

I want to do electrical engineering when I go to college, and I would say I have a good math foundation. However, I don't have any experience coding, and I would like to pick it up in my free time. What is a good coding roadmap to follow? feel free to suggest resources that are not AI. I've heard that learning C will make everything else easier, but I don't know the validity of that claim.

Burning Itch in heat, physical activity and emotional triggers

I finally got rid of the flakes, thanks to Nizoral and MCT oil; however, when my body temperature rises, such as when I work out, outside in the sun, or when I am nervous or stressed, I get this burning itch. It is mainly on my scalp, but occasionally my upper body will itch as well. And as soon as a fan or AC hits me, it stops. Is anyone else the same and/or has fixed it?

I (17M) want a girlfriend who treats me like “one of the girls”

Exactly what the title says. I’m a straight guy, but I’ve always liked the way girls interact with each other.

I want that same kind of energy in a relationship. The best way I can describe it is two feminine lesbian girls in a relationship, in a cute way.

I would say I'm an attractive guy. But the thing is, I've never been in a relationship and done anything with a girl. I think part of it is that I just haven’t met someone I actually match.

On top of that, my parents are emotionally distant. They have both lived in the same house as me, all my life, married, but I've never seen them show any affection to each other, not even a handshake. I'm pretty sure they've been broken up for my entire life, but married on paper. And they literally do not know anything about me. Not exaggerating, if you gave them a quiz about me, they would fail BADLY. Never gave any affection towards me for my entire life, not a single "I love you."

As a result, I crave love so bad, and it's hurting me so bad.

I go to the gym often, and do well in school and in activities. However, I just feel unlovable. And I was wondering where and how I can find this type of relationship without a girl thinking I'm weird. (Sorry for the little rant)

Researchers Notes

Reading the questions first is messing me up and confusing to the point that I get it wrong. For a high score, is reading the question first that much of a time waister and has anyone stopped reading the questions first because of "new" style?
