<p>Go back to your own thread CE. No one wants you here.</p>
<p>I’m sensing some tension here</p>
<p>Can we act like adults, please?</p>
<p>No, I’m only 17.</p>
<p>^The Repede Story.</p>
<p>Also, I took an hour long break from CC to do an REA AP World History study session</p>
<p><em>slow clap</em></p>
<p>^Slow clap for what?</p>
<p>Also, 14’ers, are you proud of your high school handiwork? Any regrets?</p>
<p>^ LOL of course I’m not proud, I’m lazy as…well you know the rest. </p>
<p>Do I regret it though? Meh…not really. I didn’t become a zombie like my classmates and happy about that. :)</p>
<p>Hey guys. Not new to CC, but new-ish to the HSL section. Class of '14!</p>
<p>Welcome. It’s only appropriate that you post your schedule for the upcoming year, because that’s the new induction procedure. :)</p>
<p>^I’m slowly beginning to regret everything, and I’m only a sophomore. However, I did cut off comms with everyone in my school for roughly 6 months</p>
<p>20 schools! I am only applying to 3-5! Whats wrong with you prestige wh…better not finish that sentence.</p>
<p>^It perfectly describes all of CC, so it’s accurate.</p>
<p>Question on the common app: Regarding Honors and Distinctions, if you are a candidate for an award does it still count? (I would have to wait until January to receive it. By then I would have already sent all my applications)</p>
<p>^ Probably not. I would assume “Honors” means honors that have already been received.</p>
<p>If you don’t know if you’re going to get the award, then don’t put it on there. If you have been already awarded, but haven’t received anything physical, then you may put it down.</p>
<p>I don’t have my schedule yet. I have to wait until next Tuesday. :P</p>
<p>Can ya’ll tell me if I am overreacting?</p>
<p>So I have two good friends, and the three of us are in the top three spots. The guy friend is a shoo-in for valedictorian. The girl and I are pretty much neck-and-neck for second. I think she’s a little ahead of me right now because I had a harder courseload than her last year, though they were weighted the same (it’s complicated). I used to REALLY want to be salutatorian, and they both knew. I mean, I’ve definitely stopped caring about it as much because I have bigger, more pressing issues to worry about (i.e. applying to college). The two of them seem to have this running joke that the only way I could possibly become salutatorian is if the girl slacked off hardcore during senior year. I laughed it off initially, but it’s a running joke and it’s kind of beginning to pi$$ me off. So I told them. And it wasn’t like a b!tch fit or anything, I just simply told them that it was kind of rude. Did I overreact?</p>
<p>I feel like if they were your best friends they should understand that you were/are upset about it.</p>
<p>No you just told them how you felt that you didn’t like the joke. I think it’s kind of rude to compare. If my friends and I share grades we just tell each other good job or if they’re upset we offer help. We had more altercations about it with people not in our immediate group of friends or with our own good friend who isn’t on a similar level compared to the rest of us. We’re all pretty different with our strengths and weakness so we just keep it neutral. It works out pretty well, I recommend maybe talking less about grades and other competitive topics. Hopefully, your friends stop, if it was bothering you, they wouldn’t want you to be upset so they should stop. Just my opinion. I know it’s hard not to compare, I have a genius twin sister so things can be rough.</p>
