Imagine if the school mascot is a potato 😲
@Iaminconstantpain0Not sure how I feel about the prospect of making new friends just for the sake of it then ‘ghosting’ them when you have determined that you have other stronger friendships or if you realise that you don’t gel as much.
If you have a brief chat to someone and then realise that you don’t have much in common or your personalities do not mesh then I leave it be (leaving them alone) and don’t waste their time only to dump them later on.

@rinreborn7364I was wishing to have a University life when I was in high school cuz more flexible than high school but a pandemic happened and a lot of things got limited such as having new friends in physical way, hangout with new friends, club activities and so on. Very disappointed due to the limitations. I hope pandemic disappear ASAP cuz I'm already in Semester 3 of 5 semester of pre-uni study. Study at home is boring.

@Autotelic_tasteCOVID stopped me from going to college
@hectorguerrero8801Another important thing I'd like to add about grades, as someone who's done AP, DE, etc.
-If you know what core classes your college/university requires of you, take classes that are the prefaces (prerequisites?? XD) of them. Like Calculus, high school has pre-cal. Take it. It's going to be harder, but you get a foundation for a course you're going to take later. I asked my Adv Algebra teacher, "what class would be better to take? College Algebra, or Pre-Cal?" And of course, he said Pre-Cal would be better, because Calculus is a class you're going to take.
-(This is more a personal opinion) Between AP and DE (Dual Enrollment), I find DE is harder, but more rewarding than AP. Bc DE is literally a college class. So you get to dip your toes and feel how college is kinda like, in terms of work. It is harder, but you get college credit, and if you go to a college that accepts them, you will not have to take it (saves money too).
Practical tips...
