<p>I never (generalizing) feel stupid. Just mediocre.</p>
<p>Story of my life.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Clever, Niquii. Dfree reference, perhaps? </p>
<p>Um, do I ever feel stupid? Pshaw, do I ever feel smart?
For example, my Penn interviewer asked me what my greatest accomplishment was, and I blanked for twenty seconds and was like, “Um, apparently not this interview…”</p>
<p>All the time, I feel like everyone thinks I’m an idiot because I think things differently.</p>
<p>I feel smart compared to a lot of other people at my school except in English where I am just lost. I had a 4.0 and class rank 1 this semester and I think I’m on a good track. I have ! extra curricular (math field day) and I plan to do a lot more next year. I feel stupid compared to a lot of CC kids who go to summer camp curing cancer presidential shtuff. I think I just need to be more involved in more activities.</p>
<p>Of course. UrbanDictionary’s definitions of this website pretty much summarize why. ;)</p>
<p>I don’t feel stupid ever. I think I just feel relatively unaccomplished. Like when I used to look at those ■■■■■■■■ “Chance Me” threads, I felt that I hadn’t done enough, with all the research people did, companies people started, etc. After a while, though, I looked at why I wanted to have done those things, and I realized it was just because I wanted a better looking College app, so I let it go, and moved on. </p>
<p>I’ve never truly felt intellectually inferior however; I’ve just thought that I haven’t done enough with the opportunities I’ve had.</p>
<p>“Chance Me” threads are so depressing.
-_-||
I don’t even bother looking unless someone really needs help. Lol</p>
<p>i love this thread…try India…you’ll catch malaria escaping braggarts:(</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yea, sorry, you have real grievances and I shouldn’t have been so critical. I’m so starved for critical discussion (arguments, debates, ect.) that I too often look at a casual conversation as an opportunity to start one. So, again, sorry; talking about feels is totally fine! </p>
<p>I would definitely search the internet for more scholarships, though. There’s hundreds of them out there, and every little bit will help. Also, if you really can’t afford community college, there should be things in place to help you significantly with that. I know multiple people who received grants worth over $2000 to help them pay for community college. There’s more money out there for this type of thing than you’d imagine. Whatever happens though, good luck!</p>
<p>Omg I love debating, haha. I’m guilty of the same. >__<</p>
<p>Yesss, searching for them has become my full time job, lol. I’ve applied for some, but they’re mostly lottery type scholarships. I have so many accounts on various websites for scholarship search, they’ve helped some! Ty for the advice, though. Who knows, things may look up in the future. :D</p>
<p>I’m hoping I won’t have to resort to community college, but hey, whatever happens happens. C:</p>
<p>Topic:
I think it’s my hearing aids. People look and assume what I am. They have no idea that I am much smarter or so much more able to do things. At least not till they meet me. My fellow seniors had all been suprised by me, some juniors, but the rest knows nothing lol. To them, they view me as inferior, and unable. But if I walk in the room seemily able to performs rather extectionally. They will be in for a shocker.</p>
<p>Haha, yes, in advanced science and math classes.</p>
<p>@descuff
OMG! I never knew! D:</p>
<p>Dune, you realize that’s almost exactly what I said, right? I’ve always said that grades mean nothing to hard work. And I don’t want to be friend with people who are so obsessed with grades.</p>
<p>All the time, especially when someone who I wouldn’t expect to beat me at something does in real life. Also, from reading the posts on here.</p>
<p>Ohhh, I feel stupid all the time- and I know I’m not a stupid person. Just for the sake of politeness I’m not going to mention what this site does to me :(, but my biggest problem is one of my friends. You know the type- “Ohhh darnit, I’m like a quarter of a point from a 98 GPA but when they push my English grade up to a 100 instead of that stupid 97 it’ll go up- SO not fair.” Then she “remembers” that I got a 94 GPA and is like, “Ohhh, it’s not a big deal, you’ll still get into college.”
The problem is that usually she’s a really good friend- she’s just somewhat self-centered and needs an ego boost sometimes, so she says the stuff for effect. I feel like I could kill her when she does it, though…
My other friends who do better than me don’t make me feel like that, though, because we appreciate each others geniosity and don’t rub our achievements in each others’ faces.</p>
<p>My friend cried for an hour yesterday because he got his first A- in his entire life in AP Physics C. He’s still pretty upset about it and doesn’t think he’s qualified for anything now. He’s a junior.
People like that make me angry, and also make me feel pretty stupid.</p>
<p>Just wait - some of your friends with 98+ GPAs will be shocked when they get to college and make a 45 on their first exam (not that I’m speaking from personal experience or anything…).</p>
<p>Lol I had three A minuses junior year after missing 30 plus days of school, mom being in a car accident and totaling her car right before winter, having to catch two buses to school in a horrid Antarctica like winter without boots or a warm coat and being evicted from three different places.</p>
<p>I’d have completely gone off on ANYONE who suggested I was less than. I’m hard enough on myself as it is. 
When people did try to do that I was all “B*tch pls.” Real friends don’t humblebrag.</p>
<p>Though it is weird that I won’t let anyone else intimate that I’m unintelligent, but I’ll gladly tell myself that. O____o</p>
