<p>The Constant worry of grades, GPA, SAT, ''brag sheets''..... dammit.</p>
<p>Does anyone have truly peace in their hearts? Isn't it impossible to study 24-7, itsn't it normal to procrastinate as human beings? Honestly I am sick of it, the 2 face students, extreme stress. I have no choice. Study, or fail. Study, or fail. Study, or fail. Study, or fail. Study, or fail. Study, or fail.</p>
<p>Excuse me, while I STUDY. Or fail.</p>
<p>Hey. I've gone through periods where I've felt like that, and yeah, it's hard. But you don't have to go to Harvard to be happy, you don't have to have straight A's to show you're smart. You don't have to have dozens of extracurriculars to show you're dedicated.</p>
<p>You really should do what makes you happy, because there's always the chance, even if you do go to, for example Princeton, that you'll burn out. And well, you shouldn't be shut up in your room all day studying. It's hard to find a balance, to get that 9.25 hours of sleep every night (cue the laughter), but it's all a part of growing up.</p>
<p>Make sure you get a good night's rest. It really does help brighten the outlook on life. And don't be a perfectionist, work with your teachers, all that stuff you've probably already heard before. But really, chin up, it won't last forever. Maybe one day you'll actually miss it.</p>
<p>Goh-mah-woe Greensticky, nuna?

<p>Nah du sa rang hae. <3</p>

<p>Sa rang hae yo!</p>
<p>Han gung mal yŏn sŭ p'ae ya dwoe yo..</p>

<p>Pika pika pika pIkA!!!</p>
<p>Nathan, sorry, ahah. It's Korean.</p>
<p>Translation:</p>
<p>SDMS: Thank you, sister. <- Noona is a term that younger brothers say to older sisters, but for Koreans you basically use it for any friends, etc.
I love you. <- Same as above, basically a friendly term. Direct translation sounds serious though, ahah.
I want to do Korean.</p>
<p>Me: I love you too.</p>
<p>anisha: I love you. I am learning Korean.
anisha2: We are using Korean, nathan.</p>
<p>Yeah, roughly that's what we're saying.</p>
<p>Weird how this thread turned into an instant Korean chatroom......</p>
<p>Young uh ssuh! :)</p>
<p>hmm im part korean and ive met other koreans that are shocked that i cant speak the language..</p>
<p>Young uh shi luh
nah nun pea gon heh.
shi bal.</p>
<p>You see, I am a rare breed of Korean. A few hundred years ago, the dialect in my family shifted to the ancient language of the PIKA PIKA PIKAAAA PIKACHUUUU.</p>
<p>MonoTombo, you win at life. The end.</p>
<p>watch Full House. It's awesome.</p>
<p>hakuna matata!!!...</p>
<p>just listen to thrash metal and trash everythin in ur house. u'll feel better afterwards...lmao</p>
<p>anyway, i feel the same. i'm a junior this yr and i feel like i'm procrastinating so much that i will ruin my GPA (which i shouldn't be screwing around w/). stupid chem...i hate that class w/a passion. burn!
but i'm keepin my eye on the future (as of now, the winter break too, so i can get some SLEEPPPP!)...then after that...comes the SAT classes which i bet will be a pain in the ass. but it'll eventually end ;)</p>
<p>It's just high school. A few B's and C's aren't going to change your life. Hell, you could even drop out of high school, get a GED, go to community college, transfer to your state U, do really well there, then get into a top graduate school, all with less stress.</p>
<p>Point being: It's just high school.</p>
<p>Do whatever you want, man. You will die anyway. It might be tomorrow or this Sunday. Admit it. Stop wasting your life on doing crap you don't need or want.
You need to find harmony with yourself, stop lying to yourself, and start acting as a person, not as a broken down clock.</p>
<p>Society makes zombies out of us. TV, radio, magazines, your friends, your girlfriend tells you how you are supposed to look, dress. They tell you you must get As to be somebody. They say you must get up early and be nice to everyone. They say you must work hard and raise economics. They say you must be a patriot and stand for your country: bunch of freaks you don't even know.</p>
<p>The truth is, you will not become somebody. You are nobody and the only thing you have is this moment. You are slowly dying one second at a time and you're worried about "success' and "good upbringing" and "getting good grades" and "having a life" and "getting a girlfriend"? I like how it says in Fight Club, "You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else. "</p>
<p>In fact, I suggest seeking God and praying. If you start looking above the dying, decaying organic crap of the world (like grades or "success") you will find many of the answers that I really can't give you.</p>
<p>^^ depressing but true</p>
<p>too bad my mind set conforms to society.</p>
