The "CC bubble"?

<p>I got my quarterly grades, and saw that my UW AGPA was only 3.77. And the thing was, I felt like I would have if it was a 2.77 before I started reading this site.</p>

<p>I hate the CC genius bubble. (But I still want to stay inside it!)</p>

<p>Yeah, I feel you. Sometimes you have to take a step back and realize you’re 2170 SAT score is actually quite good, for example. I do love being pushed to do my very best, but it can get very intimidating at times.</p>

<p>I felt like a human for the first time when I had straight As last quarter (well, A-s included). Prior to that quarter I thought of myself as subhuman.</p>

<p>th-th-thanks CC.</p>

<p>^casually bragging?</p>

<p>No, if you had a brain you would realize that I never had straight As (like everyone else on CC) until this quarter. That means I never had a 4.0 uw till now… GASP.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>That hurts.</p>

<p>Also, I meant to say that you were bragging about your current 4.0 - because even on CC, I think that’s impressive. But maybe, you know, my perception’s skewed because it’s a little more grounded. Or maybe I’m just wrong because there’s doubt over the existence of my brain, jerk.</p>

<p>hm dfree didn’t seem to be bragging anymore than iluvbooks was to me.</p>

<p>he doesn’t deny that he was bragging, but qualifies it by saying - this is the * first * time i’ve been able to brag about any of this stuff, give me a break. i’m okay with giving him that break.</p>

<p>but the sizes of each other’s brains didn’t have to be brought into this…</p>

<p>I can’t think of a better time to question the sizes (or existence) of each other’s brains.</p>

<p>I ONLY ACCUSED YOU OF BRAGGING BECAUSE I’M SO JEALOUS, SO DAMN JEALOUS OF YOUR 4.0.</p>

<p>(haha, enfieldacademy I’m confident enough in both the size and the existence of my brain not to take offense - that, as well as dfree’s general zest).</p>

<p>Yeah, CC has me jaded. I got a 2250 on my SAT (trying not to brag, honest to God, just making a point), and, while I was happy, I was subconsciously disappointed because I didn’t get a 2300+. Meanwhile, that 2250 was about 100 points higher than anything I had gotten on a practice test.
And I’m taking 3 APs and an honors next year, but because of CC, I feel like that’s too easy, so now I kind of want to take a 4th AP.
Seriously, what is wrong with me.</p>

<p>^ lol thats what I tell myself everyday</p>

<p>Stupid site. Convinces me to take more AP classes. I got to admits it does help me in the long term. However my grades remains unaffected by CC. I automatically strive for all A’s since I was in 4th grade…</p>

<p>Without cc, I would probably be taking 7 less ap classes than I am now lol</p>

<p>Y’know, the boy with no shoes sat around feeling sorry for himself until he met the boy with no feet…</p>

<p>Yeah… still can’t convince me to take AP Lit though. Nothing can do that. That class scares me, and I actually enjoy reading.</p>

<p>I like poking the CC bubble. I’m seriously considering making a thread titled “chance me for Ivies” and posting my stats just to LMAO at the hilarious a-hole comments I’ll get about how I’m a failure with no chance of success and happiness.</p>

<p>When you know that, you realize how the people here are corrupted by there own quests. Heck they’re even give a Schedule with only 2-3 AP a 5-7 out of 10. And yet my senior schedule is the envy of my peers…</p>

<p>I got a 2350 on my SAT. Oh well, no rice for me.</p>

<p>Haha, no bragging here. Just using an example.</p>

<p>Wait a-'s count as 4.0’s in some schools??? What</p>
