Out of Character: Chat Box

what are you going to study? ^.^

Graphic Design!

Which is entirely another story XD in order to get into Graphic Design, I had to submit a poster. Out of roughly 150 kids, only 60 got in. I got lucky and got in. But no, I'm not even in Graphic Design yet, i'm in PRE design. So, at the end of my freshman year, I submit a portfolio where only 20 students move on into their Sophomore year, so only those 20 students can even major in Graphic Design while everybody else has to switch majors after basically wasting their freshman year. SO, I have a long and hard year ahead of me XD

ooh good luck! your work must be really good :D

Of course her work is really good, look at this site! :)
You can do it Eirina! You at least need to get a bed set (made for long mattresses, a regular twin set might be too short) bathroom stuff, and a pair of shoes for the shower (I got a wart in my first week on-campus because I left my shower shoes at home on accident).

Ahaha, thank you both <3

I think I'm most worried about bed bugs >.< ugh, I hate those things...

Wow, I did not realize you had THAT much pressure on you xD The industry I've heard is very similar to that concept, so it must be their way of breaking you into how you'll be working in the future. If anyone's got the drive, its you though, I believe you'll make it- not saying it'll be easy though, so I definitely wish you luck! And you probably won't do what I did my freshman year, but either way, just don't get distracted. Treat your schooling now like you're job pretty much. (what I SHOULD have done :P)

hehehe just wondering if you guys know any good unis that do English and Geo that don't need SATs? :/

You don't have to worry about that for a while, bed bugs only happen when someone brings them to school from home and they get places, plus schools know what to do about bedbugs. My school had to put up flyers in the bathrooms and hallways and stuff saying "Only 3 rooms have been found to have bedbugs. This is what a bedbug looks like. If you find a bug that looks like this, let your RA know. Also, calm down." because we had a bedbug scare and some people were freaking out about it.

Also, I agree with Maddy. Do whatever you need to do to get your work done, you can hang with friends afterward.

Most schools in Michigan (probably all, not sure) don't require you to take the SAT, you do have to take a test called the ACT though. That's the only reason I stayed in-state instead of going out of state for college, we took the ACT as part of our junior year of high school. (I scored 27 out of 36, and the average is around 21-22 I think, just in case you were curious)

does the ACT require lots of preparation? because it's my final year this coming August and my primary focus for uni ISN'T the US - hence why I haven't taken SATs - but my parents want me to apply to the US now as well?

Honestly, if you've paid attention to your schooling and aren't intimidated by tests, its fairly easy. (At least, I thought so.) But as I said, the ACT really only applies to Michigan and a handful of other states.

ahhh alright! thanks for your help! what kind of stuff does the ACT test?

English, Math (algebra and a bit of geometry), science, writing, and reading. Colleges can take the ACT score and convert that to an equivalent score on the SAT scale too, I just read.

thank you so much for your help!

Not a problem, I remember how stressful my senior year was (actually that's a lie, my senior year was three hours of digital media technology at the vocational center, an hour of band, an hour of criminal justice, and an hour of english. but it had its moments.)

I'd like to make a quick announcement.

Any character who does NOT find a date, you will be forced to face the wrath of Eirina's cupid skills.

Thank you and enjoy your evening.

:O lol

Can I take myself to the yule ball? you know, since i'm a time lord?

hahahhaha that made my day.

HEY ALEX TAKE THE ACT'S!!!!!!!! They are a whole lot less intimidating than the SATs and they're more focused on what you actually learned in school :)

I never took the ACT's but my friend's friend did and she said it was better than the SATs. And I know a culinary school I applied to (that has other majors) didn't require the SATs because that was one of the reasons I applied there because my SATs were alright but not as good as I wanted them :( 

BUT HAVE FUN ERINIA!! 

where did you get in at?

Literally the only thing funnier to me right now would have been that Nope.avi video.

I got into RIT, Syracuse, School of Visual Arts, Drexel, Temple, and I'm going to ATTEND Pennstate. The others were just waaaay too pricey (and I just didn't like Temple...) and the scholarships that those schools give out just aren't enough.

For example, Drexel gave me $20,000. Oh hey, that seems great!! And then you remember that their tuition is about $60,000, and so yeah...still way too much XD

oh GAWD getting a date for Timothy...

I got stuff from Drexel but they didn't have my major at the time lol. but wow that's cool.

have fun in like dorm rooms and stuff.
