I know a lot of you are applying to every UC campus. But here's the thing: If you're in the too 10% of HS students (which is most people here lol) according to this you're guaranteed a UC campus. Now, this usually means they'll send you to Merced or Riverside, so leave one of those off and i saved you 80 buckaroos!
to my indian parents
edit: inshallah i got a 3
You're still worth it and an intelligent, capable human being!
>!...nah you're stuck working in the coal mines for the rest of ur life sorry bruh!<
1: take a shower and calculate the speed of the water using a ruler
2: take my meds
3: sleep for 24 hours
4: listen to music and chill on my bed staring into space and calculate the frequencies of the waves going into my ears
5: calculate the perfect angle to launch myself of a cliff for maximum force using kinematics
predicted: 1
actual: we'll find out in three days
I live in a high COL area where the median income is like 175k. My family makes more than that, like somewhere between 200-250k i think. comfortable and privileged, but we are NOT in the position to full pay for private college. (this is used as an example of how we are not actually that rich I'm not saying that I need to go to private college) maybe if we lived in like rural alabama or something we would be super rich, but the money doesn't go as far in the bay (i live outside of it). Like I don't have limos or lambos or go to different countries every year. I can't afford fancy summer programs or things like that. Rich keep getting richer while middle class gets screwed over.
and guys it's not just if you make 250k, if you make 150k you're going to be in a similar position. this affects everyone
also SAI is used by most universities to calculate finaid given independently especially at state schools (including top state schools), not just the federal taxpayer dollars you keep crying about
Edit: I understand my privilege and am happy to go to state school, and am fortunate to live in an state with easily the best public school network. But beyond me, this is a problem all over the country.
and ygs keep latching onto my privilege while ignoring my main point. COL does affect financial need.
also i'm seeing sm people make some assumptions: im a girl not a guy
I'm so sick and tired of people telling people to "stop crying" as a reflexive response when they see someone crying. It's ok to cry, just let them cry and be sad ffs. My parents literally told me to stop crying at my grandma's funeral. it's ok to have emotions, yk?
I'm dual enrolled and used my free score send to send to my CC to hopefully knock off a class. How can I check my score?
I was always pretty weak. I ran out of breath very quickly, struggled to even stand sometimes, etc. I'm not visibly overweight or out of shape (I say visibly because technically by weight i'm overweight but its just my body shape and i'm naturally more muscular etc. blah blah blah not important). constantly dizzy and exhausted.
anyways all of this is to say that whenever I stop training for even a week, like if i have exams or something, I'm immediately completely out of shape and have to start from scratch. my peak was my black belt test, and even then I struggled immensely with the long distance running; I finished last and nearly passed out even though I would train literally just running, walking or sitting until I caught my breath, and then running, for hours and hours straight for the 6 months leading up to it (combined with constant treadmill practice before). But now, I can't even run for 10 minutes no matter how hard I train. i don't understand what i'm doing wrong.
it's already embarrassing enough having to prove myself as a girl in a majority male group. I even led my group during black belt graduation and felt sick after like 30 minutes. In terms of sheer muscular strength in kicks and punches, I'm not nearly as poor as my cardio and stamina. i'm a first degree black belt and feel like a total fraud. no matter what I do i cannot run. any advice?
We're struggling with a money issue (cannot afford original arrangements) but also no creativty. can i buy scores?
I'm from around the area Subha is, and this is a traditional pudding in our culture. it's a variation of bread halwa i forgot the name. I'm not talking about the taste, it's not supposed to be spicy. But when they just kept calling it disgusting to look at and laughing before even tasting it... idk it rubbed me the wrong way. That's how it's supposed to look. It's rice pudding, I don't even think the concept is uniquely indian. you're telling me not a single one of them have ever seen a bread pudding??
They could've said it wasn't plated professionally or too simple for the competition, and that would've been valid. hell, they could've criticized him for cooking too much indian food. but just calling it awful looking for like 2 minutes was uncomfortable to say the least. Genuinely doesn't look that bad. it's generic, not deserving of being called the worst looking dish ever. I didn't see anyone else mention this so maybe I'm misremembering something, but yeah.
Edit: i remember they also kept saying that his other dish, was it the chicken chettinad? didn't look great. And it wasn't plated that great, but I remember Aaron was like "Indian dishes have the unfortunate tendency of not looking that amazing" tf do you mean...
And I know it doesn't look masterchef level. He could've made it look better, but he didn't. But it's literally your average pudding from that area. Its the equivalent of like, idk, a no frills generic apple pie. I don't remember the name, Ill ask my mom tomorrow, but it didn't deserve that extreme level of calling it disgusting looking and laughing. you can criticize the lack of effort put i into the plating. but it was average. not dirt.
The amount of support i'm seeing for this is showing why they thought this was ok in the first place. think about it this way: imagine joe calling a generic risotto disgusting and the worst looking thing ever?

I've asked so many times and haven't found anyone going :(
genuinely wtf. if you're annoyed maybe mute me for some time, temp ban, but permaban??? for asking a yes or no question that you instead chose to type 5 paragraphs in response to instead of answering the freaking question??? I saw multiple other posts with blurred eyes and was confused as a new user.
I'm trying to do acapella arrangement. Please ignore the garbage engraving and how some of the parts are not easily singable, I'm still working on it need to collect and workshop with the group, and I keep everything broken into eighth notes so I can go back and keep working on it later (bc I suck at Musescore). It's also incomplete so just ignore the last few pages.
My main issue right now is with creativity. I feel like I'm not being creative enough, and I'm just transcribing from the original instead of really adding a lot of my own flourishes to it. I'm stuck in this rut and I'm trying to get inspired from things on YouTube but this just feels like very generic, basic music. I'm not a composer whatsoever, I'm just taking the role on because we don't have an arranger. I'm in high school with 0 formal music training, though I've been trying to teach myself. I do choir and that's my wheelhouse, singing the arrangements, not making them lol. please help...
here's the score I'm working on. any critique or specific feedback on my work is appreciated.
I blurred out my eyes in a selfie since I saw others doing it but it was just my pupils. So I was confused bc I saw other posts doing the same thing. I asked for clarification with a targeted yes or no question and they instead sent me a bunch of paragraphs making me even more confused. Then I got banned lmfao. I think that was a bit harsh?
We all know about UChicago, but at what colleges does applying ED actually improve your odds? From what I'm seeing, the high numbers mostly come from large pools of legacies and recruited athletes.
Either good or bad. Inspired by compost toilet. Or it could be that one where that dude just started screaming wide-eyed.
