    Accepted to college!

    I guess you were right! Now things are looking uncertain about whether or not we will even be in school this fall, so I'm not very far from where I started in December. Even though I know you meant more typical every day school life. Also now I'm leaning toward Math/Plant Biology and trying my...

    Accepted to college!

    I’m very into my school. I’ve watched nearly every dorm video/vlog I could find on YouTube and a lot of the promotional material they’ve put out too. I’ve also put together several spreadsheets outlining the course progression for my major. Plus they let prospective students view all the current...

    Accepted to college!

    I felt like talking about my reaction. The results came through an internet portal so you refresh and there’s the result. I saw the first “congratulations!” And I fell out of my chair I was so excited! Proceeded to roll around on the floor for a few moments and when I got up I just couldn’t stop...

    Accepted to college!

    Applied mathematics! I want to do a concentration in economics/finance because I want to be an actuary. Hopefully they have good people in the math department. Thanks for the advice!

    Accepted to college!

    I finally know where I am going to be next year, and it is so relieving. Most of the stress of the college process comes from not knowing anything and I hate ambiguity. In a year I'll be attending one of the most prestigious colleges in America (it's one of the ivy leagues)! But it's one of...

    The First Week of December.

    Things are getting very stressful, but not for any of the normal reasons. It's finals month. Finals are normal, we have them every year and around the same time for semester long class sections. I study, but I don't think it's as stressful for me because of my memory. It's not perfect, but I...

    Speaking. Typing.

    General blog about my life. I guess I can only really talk about me. Things that happen to me and my complaints. I’m great at complaining. Not so much everything else outside school. Like a public journal because a journal can’t tell you when you’re acting like an idiot.

    I’m Lost.

    I’m very lost. I’m at that age where everything is changing and I have no idea where I will be in 8 months. It’s very scary. When I was younger, my class in elementary school went on a school trip to a large structure and everyone was given the chance to climb it. I flat out refused. But now I...

    Just To Start Things Off (calling all girls)

    I’ve been on birth control for almost four years now. The pill makes it so that you can essentially choose when to have periods and mine are every three months. Everything is just too much when I have them. I feel the rejection 10x worse then I go home and cry/mope. Everything is louder and more...

    Socializing

    What a coincidence... right after I posted this I got an email for an admissions interview. A little scared now. I hope they like me :disrelieved:

    Socializing

    I suppose it’s because it’s been my goal since elementary school. Other than that I want a job and money so that I can support myself. With money I can stay home all I like as long as the bills are payed. I truly love learning too it’s just the environment that sets me off. Compared to most...

    Socializing

    Socializing. All my life can be summed up like this: Group: *talking* Me: *tries to say something* Group: *stares* or *ignores me* It’s like they have all these rules on how to act that no one ever thought to tell me. I hate being forced into groups I hate doing “group work” I’m fine on my own...

    Masking

    I feel like I’ve been pretending so long that I’ve lost myself. My mother spent a lot of time reprimanding next for whatever I did wrong even if I didn’t know why I was wrong. I never knew how people would react to what I would say so I just started memorizing facial expressions + standard...

    Not Sure if I’m Autistic but Glad to Find People to Relate to

    I never thought that I could have autism until a moth or two ago. I started reading stories from other women with autism and it was like looking in a mirror. Never had sensory “issues” but when the weather isn’t perfect it frustrates me almost to tears. Most of my childhood my mother and...
