thx, ill be enjkoyinfg the heat with my illiteracy sooooooo jokes on you snead

heat is miserable i said what i said

21:01

midwest weather >

its inconvenient as FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK that our counselor is untrained and swamped and not even fucking accepting emails while we're going through college app season

HELP YEAH..... cries

dry heat tho

"she's busy working on the schedules" ????? do your fucking job right the first time??????

i melt in hot temperatures so i could never do that

it is 100 out and it feels like 90

21:01

not even swseating

trying to decide whether i should ask mccraney or sandy for my counselor rec letters

while in ohio its 70 and humid and feels like 120

21:02

plus its ohio

i know none of the counselors so

its so funny i feel like mccraney and i have barely interacted but everytime he sees me hes like "Omg hi ryann harvey"

he’s watched me break down in his office like 4 times now

21:03

so we know each other intimately

21:03

and i hate him deeply

21:03

but that’s a conversation for another day

i think he can just sense my mental illness vibes

Brown fun facts

Has anyone been able to add recommenders/counselors to Xello yet? Mrs. Harrison said that the issue has been resolved, but it’s still not working for me.

I'd say give it until 1 tomorrow and then go apeshit and kill somebody

1

@everyone xello questions,,, 1. i’ve been able to add my counselor but I know nobody else could, is that fixed for you guys yet? 2. i haven’t been able to request teachers at all, can anyone do That yet?

14:02

everything is still the same on mine and I want to get a general idea before I say something again

I still can’t add anyone yet

i still can’t add my counselor

i left a lil class comment

i went and talked to ms harrison and she sent another email to the person who responded to her yesterday

It let me add a counselor

who else is filling out their fafsa today

tell me where it is and i will too

i ammmm <3 (edited)

11:53

I'm...

21:51

thinking about taking a gap year

‍♂️

Ooo nice. Just finished my FAFSA

21:52

Will be trying to submit an application Saturday (edited)

noah ^-^

thinking about taking a gap year

‍♂️

my mom wants me to take one because she thinks i’m burnt out but i think if i stopped i wouldn’t be able to start again

i cant take a gap year i need to get out of this house asap

1

we can start a gap year apartment

21:57

because even if i take a gap year I'm definitely moving out immediately

intriguing sus

ok so for some reason not even the honors college applications for kent/ua/bgsu require letters of recommendation....???

13:02

should i still get them anyway..... i dont even know how i would submit them with my application though

I didn’t I just submitted the application (this is for KSU)

awesome. thank you

wooooooo

21:06

3 hours to spare

nice

i have to apply to kent’s honors college

21:36

btw i got invited to apply to kent’s honors college

me too

21:51

theres only one essay question and it's "what was a hard thing you had to overcome in your life"

"the ib"

4

21:52

then turn it in

LOL. THIS

21:53

unfortunately i have not overcome ib yet

21:53

one day

21:54

even if its not really overcoming and more like "dragging my bloody, bruised corpse across the finish line"

hey whatever it takes

I feel like the end of the school year we’re gonna be like a human chain dragging each other across the stage we’re so burnt out

LITERALLY

elena v.w.

I feel like the end of the school year we’re gonna be like a human chain dragging each other across the stage we’re so burnt out

but we do it together

oh i just looked through my email and i did too, i have 18,855 unread emails because i’ve been avoiding looking at any of my college emails…

god i should have never agreed to let collegeboard let colleges send me emails

3

21:56

every single fucking day i have like 10 more and they drown out literally everything else

casper l.

but we do it together

Casper Laakso, ib's last bastion of hope

The emails were good for somethings but overall annoying af

somebody's gotta do it

4

And they haven’t stopped now that I applied

we are all collectively dragging each other's corpses across the finish line <3 teamwork

21:57

LOL YEAH

they Could be helpful and i would never know because of the pure anxiety they fill me with

ryann

we are all collectively dragging each other's corpses across the finish line <3 teamwork

Undead college students

1

i honestly dont even care about getting the diploma at this point i just want to finish these godforsaken classes

me too!

21:58

i don’t think i will at this point

i dont have the option to drop unfortunately so i will finish these classes or die trying

21:59

xe 😔

i don’t think i will at this point

i meant get the diploma, but finishing the classes is looking a little scary…

OH LOL

as much as i complain about these classes i wouldn’t want to trade them for anything else our school offers, so i’m sticking with them… but the papers?? that’s another story (edited)

this

22:02

i think the only option if i were to drop ib would be ap which is somehow even worse in my mind because it means dealing with college board

22:02

also i would miss you guys :(

1

nah fk ap

22:03

they'll never have the kinship that we do

literally

22:03

they will never understand

i’m taking ap calc rn…. the kids are…. interesting for the most part

1

ap provides a similar academic challenge to ib, but the structure of the ib program is its biggest benefit

22:06

even tho we might not all like each other, our graduating class is a unit and we function together, w/ all the same classes and teachers and homework

22:07

makes it a lot easier to get support in any given class, cus you know you have 22 (or like 10 if we’re talking language/sciences/math) people to back you up

1

22:07

plus i’ve noticed that ap kids are usually rlly smart in one area and rlly lacking in another

22:07

like they’re good at stem but their writing skills are deplorable or vice versa

guess i’m an ap kid- the only thing i’m good at is math

WOOOOO

congrats!!!

23:28

yayyyy

nice!
