Oh gosh, this school year has been fine grades wise, but I really am not liking this amount of work! I’ll probs be up till 1:30… I’ll stay online.
I just woke up from a really good nap! I’m probably not going to really do any last-minute PSAT studying because I’ll probably stay up all night and stress myself out. I’m honestly ready to just take this whole test cold turkey.
Also, do any of your parents brag to people about your grades in school and your academic achievement?
My uncle paid a visit today and, coincidentally, a invitation letter, from my school, about my school’s Academic Letter Awards Ceremony showed up in the mail. So rather than telling me about it, he shows it to my uncle first. I didn’t really care about that, but I just don’t know how to feel about being a bragged-about object.
Yea my parents like to brag. My dad likes telling everyone about my insane schedule that involves taking classes at two different colleges.
My mom’s friend thinks I need to hang out with friends more and study less lol.
Now that we’re really getting into the semester, what are some of your strategies to overcome stress?
On Friday night, I refuse to do any homework or schoolwork (it’s bad, I know) if I don’t have anything big on the weekend so I just treat myself with a lot of Netflix and a bag of chips hahaha.
SCREW TRUMP LOL THAT MAN IS FRICKED UP AINT NOBODY WITH A SANE MIND GONNA VOTE FOR THAT LUNATIC
My best friend is sane but he is supporting Trump 
Not sure why, he seemed sensible
Edit: Supporting not voting
i support trump, and I feel people are over reacting to the recent video of his but I don’t support all his views and ideas like for example I think building the wall is a big waste of our resources
Today made me realize i freaking HATE marching band!!!
Good Luck to everyone tomm.
So I went to a college admissions seminar at my local library yesterday and it was pretty interesting. I learned that some not really well-known universities are actually better than some of the more well known universities. The seminar was led by Julia Ross who has worked with actual admission officers. I also learned that I really need to start working on a student resume.
I also need to finish my application for the VAST summer program. I’m planning on writing my two short essays for the application this weekend and getting my counselor and AP Lang teacher to read it. If anyone would also like to read it, just PM me. I’m trying to get as many opinions as I can.
just took the 5th SAT practice test on khan academy and got a 1540!! 770 in both sections. Feeling good about tomorrow’s test!
Good luck @snowfairy137 !! Get a good night’s sleep.
I had Starbucks earlier today… bad idea, I know so I’m still kind of hyper. Hopefully I’ll crash. Also, I get to get up later cause I’m not going to my 8 AM college class!!
Hey any tips for a psat cramming kid (me)?
I already took the SAT this year and thought it went pretty well. Most colleges won’t look at PSATs, so if you don’t do too well you shouldn’t worry too much. I’m not saying PSATs aren’t important, depending on your score you can qualify for the National Merit Scholarship. PSAT is also a good indication on how you will do on the real SATs and if you do well on the PSAT it should give you some confidence. My tip is stay relaxed during the test and be aware of the time. For the Math section, I like to skip harder problems and come back to them (you don’t want to run out of time and have a question you could’ve answered correctly left blank.).
For the Reading section, I underline and take notes as I’m reading the passage, it helps me understand the purpose of the passage and context of the passage.
For the Writing section, there’s no need to read the passage, just look around the underlined word or sentence and find the error.
Good Luck,
I’ll be also taking the PSAT tomorrow as well. 
When you can’t sleep because four of your favorite shows are on tonight! :)) I know I’m about to be tired AF tomorrow.
@ak2018 what shows do you watch? I watch Grey’s Anatomy (I’ve been watching since it came out when I was five and Meredith Grey has always been my role model), How To Get Away with Murder, Modern Family, The Middle, The Goldbergs, The Big Bang Theory, and I really like This is Us and Pitch, which are two new shows this year
