All the tests/answers for my bio teacher’s tests last year were online, and she was never the wiser. I never used them, but some of my friends did.
What I really don’t like is that at my school, the cheaters often do better than those who didn’t cheat. It really pisses me off, especially in competitive subjects.
I’m pretty sure all of my teachers create their tests themselves.
Same.
Uggh, I have a programming test, Math test, government test, chem quiz, chem lab, current event presentation and a Spanish drill quiz tomorrow. Three of those classes are back to back to back.
:’(
I just have my chem final (and god knows what we’re doing for Engineering because he DIDN’T TELL US IF WE’RE HAVING A FINAL OR NOT). Ughhh I’m pissed. I hope we do an in-class activity as a final–at least in that case, we get to have some fun.
Also my chem book is absurdly stupid and my class hasn’t even gotten to difficult information and I don’t know how to study information that is freaking boring and unimportant and absurdly easy. My teacher will test us on the minute details of the book because we haven’t learned anything all year -_-
@topaz1116 ooo good luck. lol, I chose not to do engineering; I opted for compsci xD
@Cornbread1999 I could have freaking taken AP Stats. I was going to take AP Stats (which is also absurdly easy at my school) and I opted out.
I’m really really stupid.
I get my class recommendations next week and I’m so nervous and excited at the same time.
@topaz1116 I’m taking AP stat next year lol. I’m not allowed to do it this year.
@Cornbread1999 I was allowed to take it because I’m in precalc at the moment; and I really should have taken it. I don’t have space in my schedule to take it later on (unless some very unlikely things happen senior year).
Is anyone going to the University of Maryland Sophomore and Junior Visit Day on February 16???
Lol too far away. And that’s a Monday…
We have a guard competition on Valentine’s Day and we’re determined to get two couples together: one is two freshmen who are really adorable (the guy doesn’t even deny he likes the girl), and the other one is two juniors–a guard girl and a percussionist–who are always together. Like, always. They’re freaking adorable. And they need to get together.
I feel so lonely in school and I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to lonely anymore but everyone has a good friend and if I try to make a new friend I feel I’m a third (or fifth, etc) wheel in a friendship.
@Faultystart I know what you mean. I’ve tried to embrace it by finding groups/pairs that don’t mind another wheel, and it works okay but it’s tough and there are some days when you just need someone to talk to and you don’t have anywhere to turn. I can’t offer much help, but I will say that you’re not the only one-- and I’ll also remind you to have some hope. This summer I met two of the coolest people in the world and we became a trio. It was the first time since elementary school that I had felt truly integrated into a group and it was absolutely delightful. We’ve fallen out of contact, though. The time zone difference is a lot, but in the end it comes down to not wanting to tarnish the wonderful memories.
@Faultystart same. I feel like I’m the only loner at my school who is not diagnosed with a mental disorder.
@FaultyStart @Cornbread1999 @pseudoprimal I recommend talking to people in your classes more. Just complaining to someone about homework or a hard test can get a good conversation going and give you a common enemy. Also joining clubs or ECs really helps with bonding. You are forced to work in a team, which helps you grow closer to people you didn’t know too well before, and you also get to meet people you share an interest with. Like seriously I dance at a competition studio and I am friends with people I would have never dreamed of being close with lol like they all wear their Pink stuff and are instagram devotees but it isn’t even that weird- we all spend so much time together that it seems natural for us to hang out.
It’s also not bad to have a big group of friends at school, and you DO NOT need a stereotypical “best friend” to be happy and have a good high school experience. I had one best friend all of elementary school through like 7th grade. We were really close, but I didn’t really talk to anyone except her. Then we kinda drifted apart and I started hanging out with another group of people I had more in common with. Now I’m in a different high school and I’m still close friends with people from my old school, but I met a bunch of new people and they’re awesome too. I guess what I’m trying to say is that now I don’t have a “best friend” but I have a bunch of really close friends, and frankly I’m way happier now than I was in middle school.
@iamnotironman Thank you for your advice, but I have been doing what you suggested all my life. I am involved in ECs, I am in clubs, and even in my ECs I have this loneliness problem; in swimming people would ignore conversations I tried to start. I’m not even looking for a “best friend.” I’m looking for a close friend, or someone who will hang out with me or do something with me outside of school. When my “friends” do things like this the /accidentally/ forget to invite me. I feel like I’m not even friend with the people I call my friends. When I try to initiate conversations, people either start a new one with someone else or flat out annoy me. If I speak up in a group, it seems like no one hears me, or at least, pays attention to what I say.
Essentially, I’m terrible at making friends. I’ve been at my school since the third grade and never once I have felt like I truly belonged. I’m sorry for my complaints.
@Faultystart If people are ignoring you when you are trying to be nice, they have a problem- not you.There are bound to be people who will like/accept you if you’re being yourself and a nice person. If you’re having troubles making friends, I suggest to be as welcoming and friendly as you can be. I know it can be hard sometimes, but just smiling at people even and ESPECIALLY when you are in a bad mood can make the world of a difference. Like I’ll admit-I’m pretty socially awkward and I FAIL at public speaking, but I always try to have a positive attitude and I managed to find pretty awesome friends.
Also I’m sorry if I’m not really helping; I’m not the best at giving advice.
@iamnotironman No, you’re helping. Thank you so much, since now I don’t feel as bad about myself as I did earlier.
@Faultystart You’re welcome! I know it sounds really cheesy, but don’t give up hope! You fit in just fine at CC, so you’re not a loner, and don’t ever think that!
@Faultystart maybe activities outside of school? You go to a small school, right? If you do activities outside of school, you might meet people with the same interests as you and stuff (: I’ve felt the same way as you before; I still feel the same way sometimes. But I have a really great group of friends both inside and outside of school. I guess it helps that my school is really big; but you should try it. Sometimes, the people you’re best friends with don’t go to your school.
