Hi. I'm currently in my junior year of high school and I'm trying to find my first job, that way I can have plenty of money set aside for college by the time I get there, as well as some casual spending money. The only problem is that all of the jobs in my area, save for one or two, use online applications. This wouldn't be a problem if not for the fact that almost all of them are done through various systems, such as Lensa or SnagAJob, both of which I found incredibly sketchy after some brief investigation. So far, I've applied for seven jobs to date and the closest I've gotten so far has been a single interview (this was at the only job in my area that wasn't done via an online system). This being said, what methods would all of you recommend for finding my first job?
I was greeted this morning with news that the guy who betrayed me and bullied me to the brink of suicide, the guy who forced me to change schools, and the guy who then regularly egged and TPed my house for having the temerity to change schools died suddenly. This all happened 30 years ago. I'm a middle-aged dad now. My social media feed is filled with fond remembrances of the guy. I want to feel like I'm a better more high-minded person but I can't bring myself to think anything but "fuck that guy. I'm glad he's dead."
I have a pretty cool connection with my teachers and I think it would be nice to give gifts.
I'm not very active on Reddit, so feel free to DM me on Instagram with things I should look towards before joining. (My @ is ayers61145)
I want to make probably not much less than 200k a year once Im comfortable in my career.
I’m more so wanting career choices that fit with what’s going on in the world today, or where there’s a big shortage of people.
I just want to be able to get hired quite easily out of college.
I would love to hear your suggestions.
Every single one of you has important and unique strengths that I’m sure schools will appreciate (and if they don’t, that’s their fault not yours). I’m impressed by y’all’s ambition, drive, and stats. I’m certain your hard work will pay off, and the results of your effort will be great. Stay positive and know it’s almost over now!
It's as the title says. I'm currently A high school junior with about 3 semesters left of school to graduate and I already have a handful of schools picked. I haven't taken the SAT yet and was planning to do so sometime this year I was wondering when I should start applying to colleges for their 2023 fall semester.
Apologies for any formatting errors as I am writing this on mobile. There are multiple reasons I am so confident this is the least know US school shooting, there are only three places I have found information on it online, there are no results on this subreddit, and most of all I used to go this very school where the incident occured and I didn't know about it. Not just that but mom went to this school and my grandma taught there.
The incident happened on January 20th, 1983 at Parkway South Junior High, a middle school in a affluent suburb of Saint Louis Missouri. The perpetrator, 14 year old and 8th grade student David Lawler, entered the school with a blue duffle bag with a three page suicide note, two .22 caliber pistols, a knife, and over 100 rounds of ammunition inside. His suicide note stated that he wished to kill the next people that spoke ill of his older brother Ken. Approximately 10 minutes before lunch the student entered room 110 which was being used as a study hall and was full of students.
Lawler pulled both handguns in the room and opened fire. He first shot Greg Palmer non-fatally. Greg's best friend Randy Koher dived towards Lawler to attempt to stop him and was shot fatally through the heart killing him instantly. Lawler fired multiple more shots hitting nobody and reportedly said "No one will ever call my brother a pussy again." He then turned the gun on himself and shot himself through the temple instantly ending his life.

Hey guys, I’m 16 and junior in high school. Just moved to NC from Jersey, and moving in the middle of high school obviously isn’t ideal. I know absolutely no one and have been at this school since August. I’m not an introverted person, nor do I have social anxiety. I always try to talk to people and spark up conversations with anyone close by. In my old friend group, I was always the one who organized the plans and also usually asked if anyone wanted to hop on cod. But now I’m just burnt out. I drift from class to class with my AirPods in. I probably don’t speak to more than 5 people in a given day, 4 of which being my teachers. Lunch is the most stressful though. The way our seats work is there are a bunch of tables with like 5 built in seats, so you can’t pull any chairs over. Everyday I walk in and all the chairs are instantly full, and one time I tried sitting down at one, but they asked me to leave because I was taking someone’s spot. Now I usually fake a headache so I can sit in the nurses office, do random things on my computer in the library to kill the time, or sit outside on the patio with my head down. I never used to kind school, actually enjoyed it. I had a lot of friends so I would talk to kids in the hall, and in all of my classes I had a lot of friends to talk too. Now, my days are repetitive and boring, with the same thing to expect each and every day. I still talk to my friends though, If I didn’t I wouldn’t know how to manage. It is really sad though when all of them call me on a Friday night at the mall, or movies, and I’m just here. Lying on my bed and listening to mac miller. Every night, it’s the same deal. Some times I cry, sometimes i sleep, and other times I watch Netflix. I’m lost. I joined my local soccer team to attempt to meet people, but still haven’t. I played soccer for about 14 years and looking to play in college. I never labeled myself as depressed because everytime I hear that word I associate it with middle schoolers who want attention. I know it’s not true, but it’s how I look at it. But I do think I am at this point. In addition to all of this, we moved down with my grandma. She was everything to me and had the brightest personality. She was my rock. She always laughed at my jokes, no matter how inappropriate they were. On September 10th, she was walking early in the morning and got hit by a car. She died. This made everything worse. I know it’s a horrible thought, but I put some of the blame on my parents for movin
... keep reading on reddit ➡I saw a post about elementary school band schedule to compare to and I thought it would be cool to do for junior high/middle school band too. So leave it below, maybe with as much context/demographics as you feel comfortable giving.
it may seem obvious but please consider more than just the ranking of the college or the level of prestige of the institution. ask around about the culture/vibe of the school and genuinely consider if it is a good fit for you. look at rate my professor of the school and you'll see first hand how the student body views the university or ask friends. there's a lot more to college than rankings, sat scores etc!
What do I do if a customer asks me a question, and the words are just not coming out of my mouth. Do I tell him I have a stutter, or do I just pretend to cough and then speak normally? I really do not want to just get this job and hide in a corner all day away from customers and then get paid my minimum wage. I actually want to open up, and speak freely to the customers and people. But I fear my stutter making the situation really awkward and bad.
My GPA sunk last semester because I finished 2 classes with Cs. Meaning if I don't pass all my classes with at least a 95% average this semester i won't get accepted to the college I want to go to. I have 5 AP exams I need to study for, and the SAT. My PSAT score was absolute shit and if I don't raise it by April I will not go to college. I'm so behind in math, I didn't understand a single question on the test.
I'm also in band and have after school practices, concerts and weekly ballet classes that consume a lot of the time I should be using to study. My mind is constantly running with thoughts, I can't focus, I think I have ADHD or some anxiety disorder but I can't afford therapy. I have no friends or time management skills. I don't want to quit ballet or band because I love both but i feel like i should be using 100% of my time to study. But when I actually try to study I feel like I'm consuming no information because my mind never shuts up. I feel like a disappointment.
I have the SAT in March and 5 AP exams in May that I haven't even started studying for. I have so much homework every night and daily band practices/weekly ballet classes that take up time. I struggle with focusing and concentrating on my work so everything takes so much longer than it should. Think I might have ADHD and I feel like I don't have any time to myslef. I don't want to drop ballet or band (and I'm also literally unable to), it's just schoolwork that's overwhelming me. I can't seem to get motivated to get anything done. I don't know why it's so hard for my brain to process information, but nothing sticks. I'm always lost and confused.
I'm particularly interested in any personal anecdotes and how it was handled by school and staff.
Please be mindful to omit any information that would comprise your anonymity!
Here are my stats: 1510 SAT(I plan on retaking it to get at least a 1560), 3.84 UW GPA(this will be higher by the end of junior year), 5s on all AP exams-World History, Human Geography, Environmental Science, European History,
I’m also a bit confused about the application process for American students. Any tips or advice would be much appreciated.
i’m a junior in one of the top high schools in the country. my ACT scores and extra curricular are pretty good except my grades are atrocious. I’ve gotten a C freshman year and sophomore year and now as a junior i’ve gotten 3 C’s in my first semester. I am positive i can get almost straight A’s second semester (or close to at least), but has that messed up my chances into getting into a good college?
Hey all! Was just wondering what you guys had to recommend. I’m willing to give most books a shot.
I’ve just recently got back into reading this year and have read Geeklove, junky, siddhartha, the stranger, some Marxist stuff, sapiens and more.
Recommend me something!
