Hey I’m doing this fun experiment where I research every religion and basically find stuff in holy books that either go with science or go against.

I’m ex Muslim and I don’t support religion in general but I think this will be a cool research thing. Abrahamic religions are the easiest to research regarding if science if compatible with them or not. If you guys have anything lmk so I can do a deep dive (can be facts of any religion that go against or for science like for ex: Christianity typically goes against evolution despite the billions of years of evolution proven)

This is also a study for myself because even though I never plan to join religion again I want to be able to show facts why religion is false

I’m ex Muslim I want to hear everyone stories ✌️

Hi this is my second post in like 5 minutes but I saw some people online say they were dead for a couple of minutes and absolutely nothing happened to them? As agnostics what should we think about afterlife (if there is one)

Pls don’t mind if my English is bad and also I’m new angostic

Hey I’m a new agnostic. I was agnostic for like a year in 2025 but was trynna cope and force myself to still be Muslim. Thankfully my parents aren’t super religious (both my parents dress semi modest and pray all their 5 prayers but that’s rlly bare minimum I guess) so I get away with ALOTTT but yk how it is with girls in a cultural house hold. Culture and religion go hand in hand. I could never tell them I’m agnostic I would get my ahhhh beat LOL need to find me some ethnic guy or a guy with a Muslim background who is atheist or agnostic who can larp as a Muslim infront of my parents one day ✌️

I was Sunni Muslim before (thankfully not salafi) then I “converted” to Sufism for a couple of months in hopes to still try tk follow the spiritual part of Islam . I believe in God and my family is Muslim I guess I do follow some of the cultural stuff just because I am used to it and been doing it for past 16 years (currently 17 leaving one year out from when I was agnostic last year LOL) but I dont really want to associate myself with the religion in any religion in general LOL.

Also I do wear hijab which I hate it. My own mother doesn’t even wear it. I got semi religious in 2022 and wanted to wear it now I wanna yank it off. My parents aren’t fine with my taking it off but I know all my relatives are going to talk. I’m in my last year of hs thankfully am I’m planning to go far away from home for uni so I can live life freely without religion and also wear clothes that I want?!? Even before hijab i wasent allowed to wear shorts infront of my own dad because it’s shameful. I had to stop in the first grade. Even if I wear a long sleeve shirt or it’s a little tight I have to change I hate how sexualized Islam makes me. I can’t wait to get cool piercings.

I guess I’m a hypocrite tho bc when I stress I pray thinking someone will listen me LOLL also since I’m new agnostic and actually going to stick with this believe prayer is sometimes also a cope for me when I get super anxious of the fact heaven or hell maybe exists

Anyway I’m afghan/tajik what’s everyone else’s ethnicity

Hey I am really interested in biochem major I’m a senior in highschool and I would like to maybe get ahead. Any specific biology or chemistry or any classes I can study online

Good Morning, I’m going to try to take the September October November and December SAT. What websites have you guys used to study? I heard khan academy is good but just want to double check if you guys also used khan academy.

Also 2 colleges out of my list require it which is GWU and Georgetown so what scores should I try to aim for?

Thank you for reading.

Hi I did a precollege program at Berkeley (online) and I did a neuroscience course and I had to pay for it. Can that count as a ec I put on common app?

Do honor societies count for something I can put in the honors section on the Common App?

Good morning, I hope everyone reading this is doing well.

I wanted to ask if anyone knows any websites where I can apply for scholarships and if they have ever won any.

Thank you

Hi, just expanding my options. I heard GWU is a pretty decent school, also very pretty too. CS is a competitive major, I heard, but I'm applying for Public Health and Psychology with a 4.1 GPA and coming from East Coast. What can I expect and does GWU give out good scholarships?

Hey I’m a rising senior who wants to major in Public Health and Psych. To anyone who got into NYU , Fordham, or GWU, what were some ecs u did?

hello my dream universities are GWU and Fordham I’ll put my stats below please let me know if there is anything else I can do to stand out (besides getting my grades up and standardized testing) so that I can get a really nice scholarship so I #affordham these universities. Thank you!

If there is anything else I can do to stand out and earn a really good scholarship from these universities ur advice would mean a lot

I have a 4.1 weighted and 3.6 unweighted and I’m going test optional am I cooked 🌚

Hello! Rising senior here and I was wondering how “generous” the scholarships this school offers. It is part of my top 3 and I’m from North Carolina it would be rlly nice to get accepted here ❤️🌚

Thank you for reading

Hello everyone I hope you are having a good day. I’m a rising senior from NC wanting to leave NC and hoping to get into Fordham or GWU.

I want to ask how merit scholarships work for these universities since I don’t qualify for financial aid and if there are any legit websites I can apply for scholarships.

I also want to ask how I can stand out as a student. I want to apply as a biology and psychology major. I have a 3.6 unweighted and 4.1 weighted GPA. I am going test optional as well. And I already know I’m going to hear “raise your grades and retake ur act/sat” been there done that so I’m relying on my extracurriculars :)

As of right now I have one award which is HOSA state leadership conference. And idk if these count for honors by national achiever honor society, computer science honor society and then I’m planning to join national technical honor society and math honor society. Hopefully by this October I can get the PVSA award as well (aka national service honor award)

Extracurricular wise I was vice president of HOSA for 2 years, performed in a theater production that address diversity and social issues, kumon instructor, children book translator for a nonprofit organization that helps neurodivergent kids (some of my translations got published), intern at a aesthetician place, volunteered at my local library and cat shelter, and organized a clothing drive.

What I plan to do is to my publish a research paper by November, earn the PVSA, and volunteer for this non profit organization that helps low income kids and families. MAYBEEE volunteer at a clinic but I’m not sure I have time for that.

If there is anything else I can do and scholarship websites that can help me I would very greatly appreciate it. I’m very scared for common app prompts to open lol and I really want to leave my home state.

Thank you for reading I hope you have a great day and god luck to all my rising seniors :)

You guys remember the happy family show on YouTube like 10 years ago? Anybody know where to buy the happy family dolls?

I want to apply as a psychology or biology major. I have a 3.6 unweighted and a 4.1 weighted. I know majority of u guys will say “just raise ur GPA” but I’m wondering what I can do that will raise my chances of getting in AND getting a REALLY GOOD scholarship. I don’t qualify for financial aid so that’s out for me as I’m relying purely on scholarships.

Here are my extracurriculars/awards so far that I’m going to add to common app:

Vice President of HOSA (2024-2026) ; supported chapter leadership, organized health-related activities, encouraged member engagement, and promoted healthcare education among students.
Provided individualized math and English support to students from pre-K through high school; graded work, tracked progress, and helped students build academic confidence (kumon job)

If there is anything else I can do please let me know as this is my dream school and I’m applying out of state. Also information you don’t need to know but I’m in desperate need to leave home and I can only do so if I get a really good scholarship or if I get rejected from my hometown unis.

Hey I’m a rising senior in North Carolina wanting to get out. I have some unis in mind but I doubt they would give me a good scholarship. Any affordable universities outside of North Carolina good for a biology major (that will also save me money 🙏)

I appreciate it thank you. Also good luck everyone when common app opens class of ‘27 we got this

Hey I’m a rising senior and for the past year I’ve been volunteering at my local cat shelter and I really want to make something with cats my passion project! Any ideas/ how can I start?
