Do you think this forum might just be a waste of your life?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Hi! CC has helped me - a bit. But more than that, and I'm sure for more than a fair share of other people, it has contributed to...how should I say this... much anxiety. All I can say is that I'm happy I didn't discover this long ago.</p>

<p>Did you ever think that the time spent on this forum, not in moderation but excessively, was a waste of your life? Did you really like reading about ubernerds PWNING other ubernerds over whoever was the biggest AP-whore? </p>

<p>What if all the time you were on this site was spent doing something you loved? As in, something not having to do with stressing out about college.</p>

<p>Of course. We're not completely delusional, y'know.</p>

<p>Nicely worded. And yes, I actually do enjoy reading about said ubernerds. It validates I'm not the only one.</p>

<p>lol just wanted to foster discussion, I'm an alien to this masochistic world, after all. What do you get satisfaction from?</p>

<p>P.S. before you fling **** at me, I realize that I'm wasting three minutes of my life on this forum too.</p>

<p>Satisfaction comes when you're accepted to the schools you want and get an awesome job. Otherwise, I think many of us are bred to be ubernerds by our parents. I get in trouble for A minuses so growing up with all that pressure has just morphed me into an OCD perfectionist.</p>

<p>Who's flinging ****? We're in complete agreement.</p>

<p>Haha would it make me an "ubernerd" if I said that I actually do love looking up college stuff....</p>

<p>Hah, I'm with you writergrl94, it's 2 in the morning where I live yet here I am...</p>

<p>no, writergrl94, if this was what you truly loved than it wouldn't make you an ubernerd ;). Besides honorstudent's explanation, are there any other reasons why this site is so popular among this..."crowd"?<br>
This is a ****ty argument, but if your main goal was succeeding in your college quest or whatever, wouldn't it make more sense to devote this time to sleeping or studying or something? </p>

<p>What makes you actually come on here?</p>

<p>Really I expect this thread to die soon, so I'm not hoping for an answer. Although one might be nice.</p>

<p>it's only that way if you read the admissions/chances/etc sections</p>

<p>if you stick to hsl or the cafe we are warm and friendly and not depressing</p>

<p>CC gets boring after while. At first, I was addicted. Now, I don't really post as much as I used to.</p>

<p>CC motivates me</p>
