Congrats Stella!

I found out today that I may be receiving a Certificate of Artistry my junior year of high school, skipping senior year, and going straight to my dream college instead.

It's been quite a day.

That's so cool oh my gosh!!!! Congratulations!!!! I did dual credit for three years (I basically just went to college for high school, so not the same, but i'm just trying to relate okay) and starting early was one of the best decisions I've ever made both academically and socially. Good luck!!

Certainly not. If anything it'd be nice if there was less of a risk than there is. I never want to know a day that's under 60 degrees.

Maybe that's because you need warmth to keep you alive with such a cold heart.

Well I do talk to you quite often, so yes, I would say that you're right about that.

Right; you practice your dark art all of the time.

Well, my cats love me, even if you can't.

I definitely need to study, I got a 1250/1600 on a practice test which is pretty much an asian fail :P JK but not JK.
*is glad I'm not Asian* Everyone expects Asians to be brilliant.

I'm preparing for ACT and I go something like 7 out of ten on a short diagnostic. Apparently I'm good at science and English.
Wow. This is kinda rly racist.

Actually if you watch this video about the model minority myth it is kinda racist and has a dark history https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wti3_cXeF4k

I agree, the idea of the model minority is not OK. But imo just acknowledging the fact that asians in America have unrealistically high expectations regardless of the reality isn't completely racist. I have to admit that I feel a certain level of disconnection from the issue though, being in Japan at an international school where the majority of people are Asian (and amazingly, some of them aren't math geniuses).

I wasn't like offended by it. I'm not one of those people on the internet. Just kinda stood out to me. The statement with no context is confusing.
