Can I use punctuations such as the em dash or semicolon on my writing task?

Granted that I use them correctly, will it improve my marks? Or should I stick to the basics - commas and periods?

Is it possible to study abroad and apply for undergraduate scholarships when you're already enrolled in a local university?

I'm particularly interested in attending school in China.

How would you word your body swap wish if you had the one wish willow in your possession?

To avoid the wish backfiring you somehow and someway, how would you word it? Then again, what could go wrong from a simple "I wish to body swap with X" wish? Maybe they'd only swap your bodies from the neck down and not the head, causing instant death because of incompatible nerves?

I don't know how to socialize thanks to depression

Don't have enough interesting life experiences to bond with people my age, and I'm too old to be talking to people younger than me. It sucks. Having depression during my formative years made me a dull and boring person. On top of that, I have autism. I will never have genuine friends.

Quick question.

How accurate is the DET practice version in predicting your IELTS score?

Is it safe to say that my english skills is rightfully in the 8-9 band range on IELTS? If I take the IELTS, is it likely that I will get a band 8.5?

Edit: For reference, this was my second attempt at the practice test, around two weeks after the first. My first score range was 140-150. I didn't intentionally practice my English, let alone the sections of the DE-Test. I was surprised that my scores increased, as I felt like I wasn't doing well during the test.

Scores from online tests (EF SET and DET), would I be able to reach an overall band of 8 in the IELTS?

Apologies for the dirty monitor, but these are the scores I've received on the two free professional online English tests that I'm aware of. For EF SET, I only tested my reading and listening skills; while I got my production and reception both tested with the DET.

I did the DET first. While I got my overall score, the site didn't give me the scores across the different sections. I assumed that my production skills (speaking and writing) weighted the score down. To confirm said assumption, I did the 50 minutes EF SET test that didn't include speaking and writing. Lo and behold, my reading and listening scores were pretty good. I thought it was safe to assume that I'd get a 8.5 at the minimum for both reading and listening in the IELTS.

Considering that I'd probably get scores in listening and writing as low as 6-7 (no, I'm not referring to the meme), is it safe to think that I'd at least score an overall band of 8 in the IELTS? And if one can dream, would I be able to reach an 9 if I practiced extensively on my production skills?

How Do I Figure Out What I Want to Do in Life?

I can't even begin to decide what I want to do in life. I know I'm capable, but I just have a hard time committing to a single area of expertise. I tried college three times, moving from degree to degree (Philosophy, statistics, and now sociology). I wasn't even a bad student; I was one of the few students of my year to get a full mark on a sit-in essay exam and got known because of it. Now I've lost all interest and failed two classes this semester, despite having a perfect GPA previously (instead of studying, I've written a whole ass essay on why formal higher education sucks and how academia will lose its symbolism and relevance thanks to AI).

I've tried art school (3D), but got bored and quit despite the teacher mentioning that I'm a fast learner. I told myself that I can learn all those 3D things on the internet anyways, but really I'm just afraid that other possibilities will be closed off if I really put all my time and effort into it. Alas, I haven't touched those tutorials that I promised I'd follow thanks to procrastination.

Nowadays, instead of doing anything, I just watch Netflix or read and sorta dissociate. The clock is ticking and yet I'm so afraid to do anything because I felt like I already wasted too much time. Here's a list of things I've been interested in for reference:

  • Programming (specifically for the purpose of game development)
  • Graphic design (mostly character design)
  • 3D modeling (mostly characters)
  • Video editing (mostly social media edits of fictional characters I like)
  • Creative writing (stories and summaries of movies)

The most likely option for me is probably content creation, but its market is so vast yet selective that I don't know if I'm talented or charismatic enough to be known. I know for a fact that I don't ever want to work corporate based on personal experience.

college is making me depressed

i hate all of it. the deadlines. the academic pressure. the arbitrary rules (paper must have x pages minimum). dont get me started on the social aspect. I literally don't have a single close friend i can talk about my problems with. I eat my meals in the bathroom. i'm starting to have a p£rn addiction to cope with the stress. I'm only at my second year and I don't think I can do it. I'm starting to have suicidal thoughts again.

I’m afraid if I quit social media, I’ll lose an essential part of myself

Other than feeling like I’m missing out on things, I’m afraid that I’ll lose an essential part of myself, as someone who had been active on social media since I was a 12.

Is it better to start a new channel or use an old one?

Hello, I'm an upcoming faceless content creator planning to have cartoon and video essays as my niche. I have a few questions regarding starting a new channel or using an old one.

Does one have a benefit over the other? Will using an already existing channel with videos uploaded in the past mess up my algorithm? The nature of the videos are random, so I fear that it'll mess my target audience. But I've seen channels that disregard potential risks to its algorithm relevancy that end up successful either way. Are there any straight up answers?

Does anyone else feel guilty for being AGP instead of HSTS?

I feel like if I were to transition (which I will at some point; repressing doesn't work for me), I would feel impure and dirty since I'm basically doing it to sate my fetish. But hey, if it's one way to make myself happy and content, why shouldn't I?

Is it true that trans people on average have higher IQs than the general population?

There was a study with this very result, but I’m highly doubtful. I’ve met trans people who are just borderline moronic and seem to lack self-awareness. That said, almost every trans people I’ve met are bright in some way or another. And isn’t being LGBT correlated to higher openness, in which the intellectuality component is correlated to higher IQ?
