There's definitely no place like home, although I'm not nearly as fond of my city albeit I love my side of the country which is the North (we're so much friendlier and kinder and sweeter don't let our Southerners fool you!). Aw cool man! Hufflepuff is an awesome house.
There really isn't. As much as I lived in "homes" in the other states they didn't feel right. All my best friends live in California and it felt wrong leaving them. Oh my northern English people have really cute accents don't they. I've been to London and that's it.
Hufflepuff is great. We are 100% underrepresented.
CA is great. It's my home state and I moved in freshman year to Connecticut, then to Washington for a few months but I've been back in my home state since I finished high school (apart from the month I spent travelling) and it's probably a factor in my happiness haha.
Ooooh Ravenclaw nice. I'm a Hufflepuff!!

Haha, I know that feel. I'm 18, technicalllllly an adult, but I'd still eat ice cream for breakfast if I could.
Yeah, it is getting quite late. Are you on the west coast then? For most of my American friends it's about 4pm now. Harry Potter is great! I went to Orlando last year and spent a small fortune on getting myself a robe and a wand.
I just feel like a child still. I'm vegan so I don't eat ice cream but I relate hard. I eat chips for every meal of the day.
I am indeed on the west coast. CA reppin. Harry Potter is incredible. Honestly I could talk about it all day. What house are you in???? (THE REAL QUESTIONS)

A lot of parents can be like that but I'm sure if he sees it could potentially be detrimental to your health, he wouldn't do push you anymore. Either way, it's your decision and your decision alone!
It is! It's almost nine here. I've done nothing but revise pretty much the entire day because I'm boring/panicking. How has your day been so far?
I'll probably talk to him at some point. Possibly when he comes down to see us in the summer/I go and visit him. It's weird to think that I'm in control of my life. I'm 19 and I still don't think I have the ability to make good decisions, haha.
Oh Christ, that's late. It's only just turning 1pm here. Ah I'm glad to know you're preparing! My day is going quite well. I've spent most of it watching Harry Potter and eating, so far. I might go out with my mom later but i don't know yet!

I'm glad to hear you're proud of yourself because you should be! It sucks that your dad is pushy but it's great that your mum is supportive. I'd interpret your dad in a way that he has high expectations of you (probably because you're amazing, no doubt!) but hopefully whatever you do choose, you'll have the support of both of your parents. <3
It was definitely hard to do but I'm glad I did it instead of dropping out because I don't know what I would've done then.
He probably is. He pushed my sister a lot and she's done really well, but I think it's just harder for me because of my awful mental health. I don't see my dad much at the moment but I think he'd just have to deal with whatever decision I make.
It's like evening in the UK isn't it? How has your day been my lovely?

I'm hoping to study geography, followed up by a masters degree in vulcanology and maybe even a PhD! I really like volcanoes, haha.
No, no, it's fine! I've suffered badly with anxiety for all my life and it was only last year I got some help with it. I've realised it hasn't fully gone, but it's better. But honestly, the fact you managed to finish high school itself whilst struggling with your mental health is a huge accomplishment. I don't think that by not going to college that you'll have achieved nothing. College is a great way to expand your education but there are so many other ways you can do things and achieve great things without going to college, and there have been so many people to prove this!
That sounds so cool! I'm more of a history nerd but I can see the appeal.
Anxiety is poopy. Getting help was definitely a good decision of yours!
Yeah I'm proud of myself for that. It was such a struggle to get through and my family moved a lot too so it was never even constant. I'm just glad I got through it.
I'm definitely going to look at what my options are. My dad is very pushy (he's Chinese and he definitely fits the stereotype of pushy Asian parent) and thinks I should continue my studies, but my mom is very much supporting me whatever I choose.

Oooh, yeah, that's a tricky thing. I'd think it over in depth (albeit you probably already have!). I'm intending to go to university provided I get good grades. Mental health is important so definitely prioritise that!
What would you like to study?
Mental health is extremely important. I've realized this. I've been the happiest (probably better described as content) I can remember in this year out. I barely managed to finish high school because of numerous things and it was all a mess.
So that scares me. But it also scares me to think that I could end up doing nothing and achieving nothing.
Sorry to unleash the emotions hahahahahah.

Yeah, I've just shoved it to the back of my mind now because whatever happens, happens. And yeah, in the past, whenever I thought I'd done well on an exam, I tended to have flunked it! Biology exams in particular are like that. If you find them easy, it's because you're surface-level skimming and don't fully understand the question. If you find it hard, it's better because it means you know you need a complex answer.
That's the best thing about exams. Getting them done and then just forgetting that they ever happened.
Ah, I can imagine.
Hahahah oh god I would be!
I'm so happy I'm not in education atm. I'm not sure if I want to go to college though, because I took a year out for my mental wellbeing and now I'm scared it'll all go down the drain if I force myself into education again. So I have no idea what's going on in my life.

Haha, yeah I am! You're... American, I presume? I don't actually know I'm just having a guess based on the vast majority of people I meet online being American, haha!
And it was iffy. The Spanish-English article translation was quite nice, as was the English-Spanish. I totally regret my essay question choice (I wrote about characters of a book rather than symbolism in a movie) and some of the listenings and readings were solid. Could have gone worse considering I revised, uh, a few hours? I was panicking for biology.
I am American!
It sounds as though you've done okay. There's not much you can do now, but for me, (and a lot of people I know) the exams that seem hard tend to be the ones you do well in.
I'd panic for biology, haha.

Haha, I know that feel. I'm 18, technicalllllly an adult, but I'd still eat ice cream for breakfast if I could.
Yeah, it is getting quite late. Are you on the west coast then? For most of my American friends it's about 4pm now. Harry Potter is great! I went to Orlando last year and spent a small fortune on getting myself a robe and a wand.
I just feel like a child still. I'm vegan so I don't eat ice cream but I relate hard. I eat chips for every meal of the day.

There really isn't. As much as I lived in "homes" in the other states they didn't feel right. All my best friends live in California and it felt wrong leaving them. Oh my northern English people have really cute accents don't they. I've been to London and that's it.
Hufflepuff is great. We are 100% underrepresented.
Oh you're British! That's super cool.
How was Spanish? I'm pretty good at Spanish because my mom (& her family, obviously) is Spanish.
Ouch. i never liked biology.
It's such a good season!
Haha, yeah I am! You're... American, I presume? I don't actually know I'm just having a guess based on the vast majority of people I meet online being American, haha!
And it was iffy. The Spanish-English article translation was quite nice, as was the English-Spanish. I totally regret my essay question choice (I wrote about characters of a book rather than symbolism in a movie) and some of the listenings and readings were solid. Could have gone worse considering I revised, uh, a few hours? I was panicking for biology.
I am American!
It sounds as though you've done okay. There's not much you can do now, but for me, (and a lot of people I know) the exams that seem hard tend to be the ones you do well in.
I'd panic for biology, haha.
Yeah, I've just shoved it to the back of my mind now because whatever happens, happens. And yeah, in the past, whenever I thought I'd done well on an exam, I tended to have flunked it! Biology exams in particular are like that. If you find them easy, it's because you're surface-level skimming and don't fully understand the question. If you find it hard, it's better because it means you know you need a complex answer.
That's the best thing about exams. Getting them done and then just forgetting that they ever happened.
Ah, I can imagine.
Hahahah oh god I would be!
I'm so happy I'm not in education atm. I'm not sure if I want to go to college though, because I took a year out for my mental wellbeing and now I'm scared it'll all go down the drain if I force myself into education again. So I have no idea what's going on in my life.
Oooh, yeah, that's a tricky thing. I'd think it over in depth (albeit you probably already have!). I'm intending to go to university provided I get good grades. Mental health is important so definitely prioritise that!
What would you like to study?
Mental health is extremely important. I've realized this. I've been the happiest (probably better described as content) I can remember in this year out. I barely managed to finish high school because of numerous things and it was all a mess.
So that scares me. But it also scares me to think that I could end up doing nothing and achieving nothing.
Sorry to unleash the emotions hahahahahah.
I'm hoping to study geography, followed up by a masters degree in vulcanology and maybe even a PhD! I really like volcanoes, haha.
No, no, it's fine! I've suffered badly with anxiety for all my life and it was only last year I got some help with it. I've realised it hasn't fully gone, but it's better. But honestly, the fact you managed to finish high school itself whilst struggling with your mental health is a huge accomplishment. I don't think that by not going to college that you'll have achieved nothing. College is a great way to expand your education but there are so many other ways you can do things and achieve great things without going to college, and there have been so many people to prove this!
That sounds so cool! I'm more of a history nerd but I can see the appeal.
Anxiety is poopy. Getting help was definitely a good decision of yours!
Yeah I'm proud of myself for that. It was such a struggle to get through and my family moved a lot too so it was never even constant. I'm just glad I got through it.
I'm definitely going to look at what my options are. My dad is very pushy (he's Chinese and he definitely fits the stereotype of pushy Asian parent) and thinks I should continue my studies, but my mom is very much supporting me whatever I choose.
I'm glad to hear you're proud of yourself because you should be! It sucks that your dad is pushy but it's great that your mum is supportive. I'd interpret your dad in a way that he has high expectations of you (probably because you're amazing, no doubt!) but hopefully whatever you do choose, you'll have the support of both of your parents. <3
It was definitely hard to do but I'm glad I did it instead of dropping out because I don't know what I would've done then.
He probably is. He pushed my sister a lot and she's done really well, but I think it's just harder for me because of my awful mental health. I don't see my dad much at the moment but I think he'd just have to deal with whatever decision I make.
It's like evening in the UK isn't it? How has your day been my lovely?
A lot of parents can be like that but I'm sure if he sees it could potentially be detrimental to your health, he wouldn't do push you anymore. Either way, it's your decision and your decision alone!
It is! It's almost nine here. I've done nothing but revise pretty much the entire day because I'm boring/panicking. How has your day been so far?
I'll probably talk to him at some point. Possibly when he comes down to see us in the summer/I go and visit him. It's weird to think that I'm in control of my life. I'm 19 and I still don't think I have the ability to make good decisions, haha.
Oh Christ, that's late. It's only just turning 1pm here. Ah I'm glad to know you're preparing! My day is going quite well. I've spent most of it watching Harry Potter and eating, so far. I might go out with my mom later but i don't know yet!
Haha, I know that feel. I'm 18, technicalllllly an adult, but I'd still eat ice cream for breakfast if I could.
Yeah, it is getting quite late. Are you on the west coast then? For most of my American friends it's about 4pm now. Harry Potter is great! I went to Orlando last year and spent a small fortune on getting myself a robe and a wand.
I just feel like a child still. I'm vegan so I don't eat ice cream but I relate hard. I eat chips for every meal of the day.
I am indeed on the west coast. CA reppin. Harry Potter is incredible. Honestly I could talk about it all day. What house are you in???? (THE REAL QUESTIONS)
CA is great. It's my home state and I moved in freshman year to Connecticut, then to Washington for a few months but I've been back in my home state since I finished high school (apart from the month I spent travelling) and it's probably a factor in my happiness haha.
Ooooh Ravenclaw nice. I'm a Hufflepuff!!
There's definitely no place like home, although I'm not nearly as fond of my city albeit I love my side of the country which is the North (we're so much friendlier and kinder and sweeter don't let our Southerners fool you!). Aw cool man! Hufflepuff is an awesome house.
There really isn't. As much as I lived in "homes" in the other states they didn't feel right. All my best friends live in California and it felt wrong leaving them. Oh my northern English people have really cute accents don't they. I've been to London and that's it.
Hufflepuff is great. We are 100% underrepresented.
Oh you're British! That's super cool.
How was Spanish? I'm pretty good at Spanish because my mom (& her family, obviously) is Spanish.
Ouch. i never liked biology.

It is! It's almost nine here. I've done nothing but revise pretty much the entire day because I'm boring/panicking. How has your day been so far?
Oh Christ, that's late. It's only just turning 1pm here. Ah I'm glad to know you're preparing! My day is going quite well. I've spent most of it watching Harry Potter and eating, so far. I might go out with my mom later but i don't know yet!
Yeah, it is getting quite late. Are you on the west coast then? For most of my American friends it's about 4pm now. Harry Potter is great! I went to Orlando last year and spent a small fortune on getting myself a robe and a wand.
I am indeed on the west coast. CA reppin. Harry Potter is incredible. Honestly I could talk about it all day. What house are you in???? (THE REAL QUESTIONS)
Aw yeah, rep CA girl! AND I'M IN RAVENCLAW WBU?
Ooooh Ravenclaw nice. I'm a Hufflepuff!!
Hufflepuff is great. We are 100% underrepresented.
I'm okay! I finished watching the new season of ointb at 2am this morning so that was nice.
+omg jealous, can't wait to binge that!
How was Spanish? I'm pretty good at Spanish because my mom (& her family, obviously) is Spanish.
Ouch. i never liked biology.
It's such a good season!
And it was iffy. The Spanish-English article translation was quite nice, as was the English-Spanish. I totally regret my essay question choice (I wrote about characters of a book rather than symbolism in a movie) and some of the listenings and readings were solid. Could have gone worse considering I revised, uh, a few hours? I was panicking for biology.
It sounds as though you've done okay. There's not much you can do now, but for me, (and a lot of people I know) the exams that seem hard tend to be the ones you do well in.
I'd panic for biology, haha.
But oh, I am totally panicking for bio haha!
Ah, I can imagine.
Hahahah oh god I would be!
I'm so happy I'm not in education atm. I'm not sure if I want to go to college though, because I took a year out for my mental wellbeing and now I'm scared it'll all go down the drain if I force myself into education again. So I have no idea what's going on in my life.
Mental health is extremely important. I've realized this. I've been the happiest (probably better described as content) I can remember in this year out. I barely managed to finish high school because of numerous things and it was all a mess.
So that scares me. But it also scares me to think that I could end up doing nothing and achieving nothing.
Sorry to unleash the emotions hahahahahah.
No, no, it's fine! I've suffered badly with anxiety for all my life and it was only last year I got some help with it. I've realised it hasn't fully gone, but it's better. But honestly, the fact you managed to finish high school itself whilst struggling with your mental health is a huge accomplishment. I don't think that by not going to college that you'll have achieved nothing. College is a great way to expand your education but there are so many other ways you can do things and achieve great things without going to college, and there have been so many people to prove this!
Anxiety is poopy. Getting help was definitely a good decision of yours!
Yeah I'm proud of myself for that. It was such a struggle to get through and my family moved a lot too so it was never even constant. I'm just glad I got through it.
I'm definitely going to look at what my options are. My dad is very pushy (he's Chinese and he definitely fits the stereotype of pushy Asian parent) and thinks I should continue my studies, but my mom is very much supporting me whatever I choose.
He probably is. He pushed my sister a lot and she's done really well, but I think it's just harder for me because of my awful mental health. I don't see my dad much at the moment but I think he'd just have to deal with whatever decision I make.
