No video games? No one said anything about video games!
I just don’t like the taste of coffee and I’ve never tasted alcohol. I have lots of fun on the Internet!
@athenanv13 yeah, it was meant to be ironic
@Yakisoba My vices are the internet and pop (‘soda’ for those living in the uncivilized world). Pretty sure no one in this thread is a drinker or drug user.
BTW, did anybody take the June ACT? I’m a lazy idiot so I went into it with like a week’s worth of minimal prep. Apparently it was the hardest math section anyone’s ever taken. I missed at least 4. Other than that, the rest of the sections didn’t seem too bad but I had to rush the last few of each section. Oddly, the only one I finished in a leisurely manner with plenty of time to spare was math. I definitely should have taken a practice test for Science and Reading.
I’ve learned that Reading is just Where’s Waldo, and Science is a Reading section with graphs and charts. Only hard part is the time constraint.
@ThatOneWierdGuy Really? Thought the reading section for the ACT was less tricky than the SAT.
Kind of agree with @Yakisoba. Seems like some of you are too strict with yourself.
@Frigidcold I’ve never taken the SAT, but yeah, I imagine it is. I didn’t say anything to the contrary.
Really? I love the beach. I guess when you live in the mountains everyday the beach become your favorite place.
I can’t find any places to volunteer at…tried volunteermatch.com, looked at community postings, etc… I’m just doing a whole bunch of random volunteering…
@athenanv13 What’s your definition of random volunteering? Also, if you can’t find any opportunities, maybe consider creating opportunities, like getting a bunch of friends together and doing something you love?
@athenanv13 Awww 
I live in the middle of nowhere but an hour drive away from big cities so I always drive for events from volunteermatch.com. Where do you live? You can always put in a big city in your area instead of your actual town. Most events are only one-time, like marathons and galas, so they are worth the drive.
Another way (sometimes kind of embarrassing but gotta do what you gotta do!) is to personally go to the places you want to volunteer at- libraries, clinics, city hall, school, etc. Clinics and shops are rather hard to volunteer at but it’s possible. Show up and ask if they need a volunteer and if they say no, give them your contact info and say you’re available whenever. 
good luck!
Lol I love caffeine! Alcohol is alright, I don’t like to drink, unlike lots of kids our age 
but I love to party and rave so I guess I’m not THAT uptight!
I’m going to be taking the September ACT and I’m worried, I haven’t done that much review but oh well. I’m gonna devote all of August to study study study.
I’ve been super MIA on this thread (vacationing!) but I want to double major in neuroscience and nutrition or major in neuro minor in nutrition. Maybe get a RD (registered dietitian) license and then an MD 
if I go to NYU (my first choice) I want to major in neural science, their neuro equivalent.
@kfaustria thanks! I live in the suburbs and a whole bunch of people volunteer so I keep getting waitlisted to volunteer. Some community events that I sign up for that were this week, I had to sign up in March!
The seniors are leaving. Depressing… And I only got to sign like 20 of their yearbooks…
Aha our last day is tomorrow, and we only got yearbooks today. Ah well, friends are not measured by whether they signed your yearbook or not.
I don’t like people signing my yearbook or asking me to sign their yearbook. I don’t have anything to say.
@Yakisoba I watch more TV than most of my friends combined. That is my vice; I don’t really like the people who go to the legit parties because I have certain… problems… with that crowd (which is really quite small at my school). Not that I’d ever be invited, anyways. I do go to parties, I mean; but not parties in the stereotypical sense. Just normal birthday parties (and, on occasion, legit sweet sixteens with a giant rented-out place and dance floors and stuff. but there are always tons of adults around). I’m not uptight, really.
In yearbooks, I have really long things to say. Usually a page long. People complain that I take to long in the teasing way but when they read what I wrote they are so happy because I recap like all our memories together.
But I never get yearbooks, that’s probably why I write long things. They’re like $100 at my school. That’s soooo expensive, I rather be spending it on other stuff. I’ll be getting one definitely senior year, maybe junior to remember life before college.
So, I picked up my summer reading books today. I’m pretty sure I unknowingly picked the two longest books on the list. I was judging based on summary. The only required book is The Book Thief, but I read it already. Highly recommend if you haven’t.
They’re really expensive at my school too! I write long things in the yearbooks of people who I’m really good friends with, but otherwise, I draw blanks.
I picked up some books for casual summer reading, and found out that one of them was 1056 pages after I got to the library. Whoops. I probably won’t finish that on time.
