Hey All,
Let me preface this by saying I was always a crappy student in school. Was never motivated, slacked off as much as I could, and pulled more allnighters the night before a test than I would have liked to - just to get an average score because I didn't study more in advance.
With that being said, I did officially pass the PMP on my first try on 5/14/24 with AT in all 3 target areas! I wanted to share my advice as I know when I first started studying I felt lost and wasn't sure if I was wasting time studying the wrong materials.
1.) PMI Study Hall is THE NUMBER ONE thing you should be studying. The questions on the test very closely mimic study hall. Look at the reasoning of why you got questions wrong and memorize the vocabulary as best you can (there are some vocab questions on the exam). As everyone else notes, the mindset is key. Caveat: use the expert questions as additional practice, but try not to confuse yourself with the explanations - some of them are contradictory to the PMP mindset. However, I wouldn't say skip them all together as some people suggest because it is additional practice. I did find there were some VERY challenging questions on the exam and maybe those were expert level. It's hard to say.
2.) Don't waste too much time/money spreading yourself too thin between all of the different study materials. This may sound controversial but - AR Mindset, 3rd rock notes, different PMP programs you can find online and pay for - keep in mind all of these people are making money off of you and of course they're going to tell you that their program is the best, no one ever fails after taking their course (BS - you can find plenty of people here that failed after meticulously studying AR's mindset course). My biggest problem with people who make their own "PMP Study Course" is that they're making up the questions themselves and you're not getting an accurate representation of what the exam will look like. The most helpful thing from these programs is probably the mindset - but again it could lead you astray. I would emphasize that PMI study hall was the single most helpful tool I used.
3.) David McChlaclan's youtube videos - primarily 200 agile questions, 150 waterfall, and the 7th edition PMP questions videos helped a lot - and helped break up the monotony of reading through Study Hall content every day. I would constantly rotate between study hall questions and then watch david's videos and follow along when my brain started to fry for the day.
With that being said, the questions he goes over are most likely generated himself or outside of PMI - but SOME of them look similar to the questions you'll find on the test - and his explanations really help you master the mindset of eliminating bad answers and narrowing them down to the right choice. He also really helps fill in the knowledge gap of the AGILE questions - which as many people state here on Reddit - are a huge portion of the exam. The agile knowledge and vocabulary around agile processes is KEY.
Side note: I specifically remember many questions about deliverables, and the stakeholders rejecting deliverables at the end of a project: what to do, what SHOULD the PM have done, etc. Maybe take a note of that, and how it relates to acceptance criteria of deliverables.
2nd Side Note: I never once referred to the PMBOK 7th edition guide or Agile Practice Guide Books - again I thought reading through these was like watching paint dry and felt it was a huge waste of time instead of just diving right into study hall and YouTube and cross referencing things when I didn't understand them (google searches for definitions, etc.).
Make sure you're not just memorizing the answers in PMI Study Hall (there are about 700 questions total) - mix it up between the practice questions and practice tests to make sure you're getting a well rounded understanding of all of the material.
TIme Management: This was harder than I thought it was going to be. I was taking too much time deciding between answer choices and reviewing answers for the first 2 sections of the test. This left me with 65 minutes for the last 60 questions and I REALLY busted through the last section as quickly as possible - I ended up with about 7 minutes to review my flagged questions for this section and got some peace of mine before submitting everything. With that being said, make sure you manage your time well from the beginning - mental fatigue really does start to wear on you.
Last rant: the power of the internet now is amazing. There is so much good content on youtube and people giving away free information - and that was a huge contributor to my success - especially when concepts in Study Hall/the explanations were confusing.
I never expected to pass AT/AT/AT - (I studied maybe 3 months total with 1-2 hours a day and sometimes not studying for days in a row - the last 2 weeks I turned it up hardcore and studied 3-8 hours a day depending on my mental capacity for the day). But with consistency and really dedicating yourself, it's possible. I thought the exam overall was CHALLENGING, some easy questions but some very tricky ones.
I just wanted to post this to say THANK YOU for all the helpful information and references to helpful study material. My success wouldn't have been possible without the Reddit PMP community. I'm very glad I'll never have to take that 4 hour, anxiety-inducing test again.

These are just opinions and open to critique and input and brainstorming.
I have played Smite for many years but never really got into the competitive side till recently. I think some of the changes in Smite as of recently have been good for the most part. But Smite 2 seems to be more Conquest/arenaesque and not tactical. Could greatly be because lack of knowledge of how the new changes work myself included. I know they will be changing things as they go and im not saying anything is horrible just my own opinions on some things that could help flow.
​

1. Make kills more impactful. either increase res timer or decrease damage taken. (Games with 100+ kills total shouldnt be happening)
2. Make War horn more impactful. Give a buff/exp or gold. I never noticed anything and make it more noticeable when stolen. (yes it was funny stealing it infront of people standing there)
3. get rid of the gold camp in solo and replace with buff of some sort. CD/Mana?
4. Following up on Warhorn and to talk about teleporters. Make the warhorn the actual teleport from Solo to duo and remove the 4 on the sides. They didnt seem to be used as much in the alpha and no notification of being used like in Smite1.
5. Gold fury definitely felt more impactful then FG make FG more impactful or nerf GF perks.
6. Allow purchasable wards its nice everyone can place 1 for free but that severely limits the amount of wards being placed if someone doesn't ward it can screw the whole team and doesn't allow for counter-warding.
7. For teleporter should be more central on Duo like Smite 1 and maybe on the otherside of a wall that cant be lept over but can see through a window if someone is using it.(Like Window to Red on the old jade Joust Map) could allow ninja TP if they dont add tele notifications on so Duo would have to pay attention or ward there.

​
I know I have more but don't have time right now to finish. But I would like to know peoples thoughts.

Thanks

I recently purchased a used copy of The Essence of Afro-Cuban Percussion & Drum Set by Ed Uribe which should have 2 cd's, however this copy no longer had the cd's. If anyone has this book and cd's, would they be willing to rip them and send a copy to me? Newer editions seem to have online access to audio but I cannot find anything from there uploaded online or any way to find the key.

In 2061People began randomly obtaining superpowers, 2 each, and the world was sent into chaos, unequipped to deal with this new threat- themselves. For roughly 500 years the earth was an apocalyptic wasteland until 7 gods emerged from the chaos and began anew, wiping the slate with a great flood. After all was cleansed, they began to rebuild. The current year is 2761, and the world is just a imitation of the society that once was, held tightly in place by 2 warring factions: The United League and Olympus. In the United League the Super Powered populus, dubbed Elves, are not allowed to reveal or use their powers unless a high ranking soldier or peacekeeper. Those who do so anyway are neutralized, with a trial beforehand if there lucky. Even with Peacekeepers amped up on super steroids and equipped with high tech power armor, It does little to curb the neverending wave of super-powered crime. The concept of superheroes has been mysteriously scrubbed from history and the very concept of powers brings to mind chaos and evil in the average civilian. This is a world dangling from its last threads of hope, and that's where you come in. Throughout this campaign you will rise from a street gang trying to protect your hometown to a full on Avengers/Justice League type defenders of earth. Your actions, ideals, and legacy will come to define: The Dawn Of The Silver Age!
That's the major premise but here's some other details on the setting you may like to know:You get two powers that (usually) dont have anything to do with each other, Powers start off fairly weak and minor, you live in a small town, you also get two side characters for yourself, there will be classic comic book camp, superheroes dont exist yet, and lastly in this setting - Heroes dont kill.

So I've posted a lot of times on this subreddit, and a part of that is because I haven't fully fleshed out the details of my world; I had a basic idea of what I wanted my world to look like, the types of magic I wanted to be there, and the world in which I wanted that magic to occur. I'm someone who likes grinding down on my magic system until it makes sense, so I haven't really been able to focus on writing my actual story, although in fairness I've tied up a few plot threads. Now, I think I have a genuine final product and can actually start writing my story. So here it goes.
FUNDAMENTALS
The three fundamental forces in my universe are Dream, Spark, and Sacrifice. Dream is the product of the underworld, Sacrifice resides in the domain of the living, and Spark is the energy that binds and separates the two worlds. I'm very fascinated by the idea of making a sacrifice, or the spilling of blood in many cases, being necessary for dreams to come true.
Dream, in this context, is imagination, memory, past, future, desire, fear, all that does not yet exist but existed or has the potential to exist. The fuel of Dream is memory, because a dream that is not remembered, even subconsciously, is one that ceases to exist, and Dream tends to absorb memory.
Sacrifice, in this context, has a more neutral meaning than we're used to; it only means a change in the mortal realm, mental or physical, that initiates the coming to life of a dream. Think of a mother, who sacrifices or is made to sacrifice her body for 9 months to give birth to the dream of a child, the possibility made real by the change in the mother's physical circumstance. Or an empire; someone dreamed of it, but they needed to spill blood to bring it into fruition. The blood and death, not the action, is the sacrifice, and that sacrifice brings life to a dream.
Spark, broadly, is energy. From a metaphysical perspective, it is the energy that carries out a sacrifice and, using that sacrifice, brings Dream into existence. Two people needed to perform the action of intercourse for the mother who gives birth to a child to have made a sacrifice; the act of intercourse induces the sacrifice, which is the state of pregnancy. To go back to the empire example, you need to perform the act of stabbing or shooting a bunch of people, or if you're not into all out war, the act of slitting the throat of the king, for instance. The act induces the sacrifice, which is death, which enables the dream to come true. But more broadly, spark is literally energy, the force that makes the planet move, the sword to swing, the fire to burn.
The child of Dream and Spark is Will. Will is consciousness, the ability to make something happen, to manipulate energy to accomplish a purpose, to make the dream come true.
The combination of all three, Dream, Spark, and Sacrifice, is what creates life, a physical manifestation of the Will; this is what makes life special above all other things. When in your physical body, the Will is bound by that body because the body created by Dream, Spark, and Sacrifice creates a barrier that the Will cannot cross, which is why almost no one can manipulate energy on their own. Once you die, you either cross into the Underworld, the land of dreams, or a Sacrifice in the form of emotional connection interacts with the Will to block it from returning to the Underworld, binding you to the Mortal Realm, making you a ghost, a will that exists in the Mortal Realm but without a physical body usually cannot perceive the world except for other Wills, trapping spirits stuck in the Mortal Realm in their own memories unless they can use the body of another as a host.
The exception to the binding of the Will to the body is through Dream; when you dream, your Spark transfers your will to the Underworld, where all dreams live. Spark has a natural magnetism towards the Underworld, and the Will has a natural attraction to Spark, meaning when you're asleep, Spark is no longer bound by consciousness and is able to take the Will to its natural home before waking. As I said before, dreams are fueled by memory, so when you dream, the Underworld is slowly taking memories from you until you wake up, meaning that most people forget most of what they dream about.
The Mortal and Immortal Realms are separated by a substance in the air known as Valin Steel, which has the effect of cancelling out any binding effect of a sacrifice, detaching Spark energy from the physical form it is bound to, causing it to by default return to the Immortal realm. When Spirits are summoned from the Immortal Realm to the Mortal Realm, that creates a disturbance which causes Valin Steel particles to form into visible chunks of a metallic substance stronger than normal steel. Valin Steel is particularly dangerous because of its combustibility, with only a small amount of exposure to fire being sufficient to cause explosions that can level neighborhoods if not cities with just a few pounds of material.
One other reaction is that of the Will interacting with the physical world. The Will generates Spark, and when it is not bound to a physical body but is still bound to the Mortal Realm, that Spark, when a spirit uses it to manipulate the Mortal world, sinks into and irradiates any material under it, which creates a substance called Emanation, which contains certain levels of Spark, which means it can be combined with other ingredients to induce specific magical effects when the solution makes contact with something; Emanation is thus the basis for all magical potions.
MAGIC
As I said, the Will of a living being cannot cross past or alter that body, but when a living thing dies, while most go to the Underworld, some are trapped here, without a body to bind the Will. Unbound, a spirit's Will allows them manipulate the Spark, and this forms the source of all magic in this world; the key to using magic, therefore, is developing some type of relationship or having a pre-existing relationship with a spirit. Without any sacrifice, spirits can use telekinesis, lightning generation and manipulation, and thermokinesis. Because Spark forms the basis of cognition, spirits can enter your brain and steal your thoughts and memories, share thoughts and memories by imparting them to the being they're passing through, essentially able to impart "suggestions" that, in their strongest form, can act as a form of hypnosis.
Spirits can also briefly possess creatures, but bodies are generally not equipped to handle two sparks in a single host. A spirit possessing a body would cause every part of that body to want to move, and having two sparks in one body can end up killing the host because without constant movement the extra spark ends up just absorbing oxygen from the air for stimulation. This is why when possession occurs it is usually only for brief periods, like a minute or so. The exception is if people learn certain war dances which allow them to use their whole bodies, they can be possessed, therefore possessing the power of spirits, for a much longer time; they have to keep dancing to maintain the stability, and this form of magic use has given birth to multiple martial arts styles based on encircling and constantly barraging your opponent; some of the arts are called Sand-Dancing, Water-Dancing, and Mud-Dancing, all based on using bouts of telekinesis to quickly harness easy to manipulate materials to overwhelm opponents (the inspiration for these martial arts styles would be Capoeira; Capoeira is extremely effective and allows for constant movement).
So the biggest fuel for my magic system is the issue of perception. Most people can't remember visiting the Underworld, most people can't see beyond their bodies, most people cannot see ghosts in the Mortal Realm, and most ghosts cannot see the Mortal Realm because they don't have a physical body with which they can perceive. This creates a situation where, while anyone can use magic because most people can develop some type of connection with spirits, it is difficult in practice for most to do so.
But some people are born with, or in rare cases develop, a unique bond with dream, giving them some or all of these abilities. Really creatives, people with certain mental disorders, or people born from uniquely difficult circumstances that required sacrifice, usually on the part of the mother, that is greater emotionally or physically than what would otherwise be expected, are more connected to Dream, and are therefore more able to perceive it beyond just their physical senses. This represents around 10% of the population; a strong sign of one of these abilities is lucid dreaming, because it means you are able to navigate the Underworld while not having your memories stolen, meaning you can essentially access the dream world whenever you sleep, or if you're trained whenever you want. Seeing spirits in the mortal realm is rare; around 2% of people have the ability, and it's really useful because spirits have the ability to manipulate energy but can't perceive the world around them, meaning that you can make a deal with a spirit for them to lend you their services in exchange for lending your body to them. Another rare ability is astral projection, which comes hand in hand with the ability to perceive the Mortal Realm as a spirit because both involve the ability to perceive the world beyond your physical body. So these ghosts, unlike others, are under normal circumstances essentially autonomous because they can perceive the world around them, meaning they can interact with the world without the constraints of a physical body. These are usually the deadliest types of spirits.
In order to change the nature of something, you need a sacrifice and a spirit must provide the spark necessary to activate that sacrifice. There are three different types of sacrifices:

1. White Sacrifices, which are made by causing mental anguish or connection. This sacrifice is necessary for two purposes; to create and bind someone to a magical oath which makes it so such an oath cannot be broken as long as the person bound to the oath remains bound, or to create a magical bond between two or more beings, allowing those bonded with each other to communicate telepathically, to perceive events through each other’s eyes, to share memories, and when one dies, to share a living body.
2. Red Sacrifices, which are made simply by spilling blood. This sacrifice is necessary to transform the physical form of one thing into another form. For instance, to transform an inanimate object into another inanimate object, one must coat that object with their own blood, and have a spirit activate that blood sacrifice by using their spark. Typically, Red Sacrifices involve shedding one’s own blood to change their physical form; when Red Sacrifices are activated, their form changes. When transforming into a form larger than themselves, the spell will cause a person to absorb the soft matter (water, sand, dust, mud, etc.) around them to gain mass, and when transforming into a form smaller than themselves, they shed mass in the form of “Formsand”, which they can then use to transform into their original form. This sacrifice can be permanently imbued as an ability to change into a specific form and back using tattoos made from emanation; the process of tattooing spills the blood necessary for a blood sacrifice, and the specific ingredients, the placement of the ink, and the Will of the tattooer and the tattooed determine the specific form they turn into. Descendants of those who shape shift inherit some of the characteristics of the altered forms of their parents.
   1. Some animals have also evolved ways of using Red Sacrifices to give themselves enhancements, such as the ability to breathe fire.
3. Black sacrifices, which are made by taking a life. This sacrifice is necessary to bind spirits of the dead to a physical form. The target spirit can perform or activate the sacrifice, but if the target spirit is one that the magic user wishes to control, another spirit has to make and activate the sacrifice. This can be used for a variety of purposes, including permanently binding spirits to a physical object and forcing it to do the bidding of the user, and permanently binding a spirit to a dead corpse, giving them new life in a new body.

Spellcasting is the act of giving spirits you are bound to instructions to perform an action. Basically, spirits recognize certain words as commandments to perform an action based on what they've learned; the more people that recognize a specific word as a specific command, the more potent that spell becomes. Spellcasting in the context of telepathic acts is often performed with songs or poetry, with certain phrases being used as a form of hypnotism as the melodic effect coincides with the spirits placing ideas in your head; this also happens to act as a sort of work-around to the requirement of possession for mind control because the spirit doesn't need to channel their energy through the whole body, just the mind, and they don't need to completely enter the person's body to influence them; this allows some magic users to cross the line from hypnotism into genuine mind control.

How Do You Create An Online Digital Diary With Journey?

hu,

So, I'm not entirely sure what my goal is with this post. One thing I know for certain is that it will be very long, and probably sort of jumbled and frantic, more stream of consciousness than anything. I guess I just sort of wanted to share some of the important realizations I've had in recent months, and see if: 1. Other people think that they're fair or "correct" realizations, and I'm not becoming, like, delusional or something. 2. Maybe my sharing these perspectives will help or inspire someone else who has struggled in ways similar to me.
So, here's the basic background of things. I've always been a really reserved and quiet person, ever since I was a little kid. Add in being skinny and nerdy for most of my life, and maxing out at a height of 5'9", and I'm not exactly a hot product for the average girl my age (19, turning 20 in a few weeks). In fact, I'd never had a relationship until this past year in college, but I'll get more into that in a minute. Hell, I hadn't had so much as a first kiss until this past year, either.
And, at the beginning of this past school year, being my second year of college (as a commuter student, so socializing is pretty difficult), I began to really get down on myself for having never been in a relationship, never kissed a girl, being a virgin, etc. It started to really take a toll on my mental health, because I believed that there was something intrinsically wrong and unlovable about me. Whereas a lot of young men who struggle socially romantically seem to be directing their sadness, frustration, and anger outward toward the world, especially toward women, I instead found myself directing those feeling toward myself. I was convinced that, on a basic level, there was some vital component to who I am as a person that disqualifies me from being worthy of love or affection. After all, that's what 19 years of evidence suggest, right?
Looking back, I think a large component in this was how I had been struggling, and still struggle to a degree, with my identity as a young man. I'm naturally a pretty progressive person, and I make an effort to be open to the perspectives of other groups and listen to their stories. Unfortunately, as we all know, a lot of people have been harmed by the men in their lives. And I know, I know: if I'm not doing anything wrong myself, then I shouldn't take any of these stories personally.But I guess, given the poor mental state that I was already in, I took it as validation that there was in fact something intrinsically wrong about me, and that thing was being a man. I started to avoid people on the street, especially if they were a woman or presented as feminine. At work, I avoid going anywhere near female customers, out of fear of making them uncomfortable. I'd keep my head down walking from class to class on campus, worried that I might make someone uneasy with my gaze. It wasn't that I thought I was a threat; in fact, I knew that I was not. But I also knew that the people around me didn't know that. In their eyes, maybe they have to assume that I'm a creep or that I'm a dangerous type of man. And it hurt to realize that, and I realize now, like I said, that I took it as validation that there was something intrinsically wrong with me.
Due to that, as well as other factors, such as stress and exhaustion from overworking (I'm a full-time student and work about 30 hours a week, which is a lot for me, might not be for others, I admit), I experienced some of the worst periods of depression I've ever had, since being diagnosed with it and anxiety in 2021. I tried going to therapy. I went to a few sessions, then gradually started missing more and more due to a lack of time, until my therapist cancelled all of our scheduled future sessions. It was on me. I wasn't committed.
I lost my passion for my hobbies and interests, like creative writing, which had previously been an important emotional outlet for me. A lot of nights would be spent lying in bed, listening to a playlist filled with sad music and hugging a pillow, wishing it was someone who loved me in the way that I thought, or hoped, love would work.
At the behest of my friends, to whom I only presented my issues as being a little down about never having been in a relationship, I started messing around with dating apps. At first, I felt good about making some sort of effort to put myself out there. Like I said, I've always been insanely reserved, so doing something like making a dating profile felt like an accomplishment. Of course, nothing much came of it. Over the five or so months that I was on the app, I maxed out at about six likes on my profile, and only matched with two people.
But one of those two people was a girl who went to the same college as me, and we seemed to have a lot of interests in common. And I mean a lot. To the point that it was almost comical. Of course, I realize now that having some hobbies in common isn't enough to form a good relationship with someone, but I realize now that I was just desperate for someone who I could convince myself halfway-tolerated me. She and I started to go out, and after a while, we decided to make things "official." My first kiss. My first relationship. My first girlfriend.
It lasted for only a few months. After a while, something felt off. I wasn't as excited to see her as I had been before. It was hard for us to make time for each other, between my working and her being involved in extracurricular stuff around campus. Car rides and dates began to be filled with longer and more frequent stretches of awkward silence, as I tried to think of something to say or talk about, only to come up empty-handed. As we got to know each other better, I realized that we didn't have as much in common as I first thought. She was a little more conservative, not necessarily in a political sense, but more in terms of "status", if that makes sense. I learned that financial success was very important to her parents, and I could tell that it was important to her, too. She avoided telling her parents that I was an English major, instead opting to tell them that I was getting a degree in computer science, as that was my minor at the time. It seemed to me that the status of a relationship was more important to her than the quality of the relationship (pot calling the kettle black, yes, I realize). For example, there was a dance on campus that she wanted to go to, pretty much just to take pictures of the two of us together so she could show them to friends and family. But as for the dance itself, it was more of the same that had been happening before: awkward silence, short conversations, lots of looking around at anything other than each other.
After a while, I decided that, for both of our sakes, I needed to break things off. I didn't want to waste her time when I knew that my heart wasn't in it anymore. So, at the beginning of April, I drove over to her dorm, and we talked it over in my car for a while. At the end, we hugged one last time, and I haven't seen her since.
I think a key component in the decision I made is the fact that I reconnected with some old friends from high school, who are still local, even though they are going to another university. Over Christmas break, I hung out with them for the first time since the pandemic as, during that time, I ended up having a falling out with them over some dumb high school drama and political differences. To my surprise, they had changed a lot, and had managed to pull themselves out of the incel trajectory that I had seen them beginning to fall down during high school. They were kinder, more accepting people. My surprise was matched only by my pride in them. I had feared and assumed the worst of them, and I couldn't have been happier to be proven wrong. Since then, I've been invited back into their group chats, and I see them in-person with some regularity, when our schedules allow it.
I think having that connection made me feel more comfortable with the idea of being single again, and since the break up, I've been able to rely on them for support, laughs, and just feeling like I have somewhere I belong. Before, I found myself desperate for any kind of connection and fell into a cycle of denying myself that connection because I was convinced that, since it didn't just present itself, I wasn't worthy of it.
And maybe it has something to do with that, but on the drive home from my now-ex's dorm (though I still wonder if I should/could really call her an ex. Sure, we agreed to make things "official", but we still only dated for a few months), I felt my perspective on, well, at the risk of sounding over-dramatic or overly romantic, everything, being to change.
And I guess that's what the title of this post is about. The things I've begun to realize in the time leading up to and following that break-up.
Above all else, I've realized the importance of connection. If I didn't have a stable friend group again, I don't know where I'd be. Probably still in a stale relationship, clinging on and trying to convince myself that I'm not feeling the way that I'm feeling. I have people to talk with again, to confide in when I feel stressed or depressed. I go out and do things again, which I didn't realize I hadn't really done very much since the pandemic.
But I know that for a lot of people who are/were in the position I had been in, finding friends is difficult. If it weren't for my unique circumstances of being reunited with an old, estranged group of friends, I would absolutely be in the same position. I still really struggle with social anxiety, and talking to new people is a huge struggle for me. So, I've also had some realizations that don't have as much to do with the friendship side of things, and I hope that these can be of some use to people who also struggle with social anxiety.
I know that the idea of "working on yourself" is cliche and overused, so I won't frame it exactly like that. In my opinion, saying it like that makes it sound too daunting and tedious, and having been in those dark, dark places myself, I know that it was the last thing I wanted to hear. So, instead, I like to think of it this way. It's more like living in spite of your circumstances. Over the course of this past year, I essentially shut my life down, because I was so convinced that there was no point, because I felt that I knew that I would never be loved or accepted. Now, I feel an urge to go on living for myself, almost in direct spite of the fear that I may be forever alone. It's a fear that I still deal with, and who knows, maybe things will end up that way.
And, I suppose, that leads into my main realization, which is sort of an extension/restatement of the last one, now that I think about it. I now feel the desire to accumulate enough in my life, to reach a point where I am satisfied enough, that I can rest knowing that I will be okay, with or without a relationship. Before, my self-worth was almost entirely attached to my relationship status, and my lack of romantic experience. Now, I realize that a relationship can only come when I don't need it, or at least don't feel that I need it. Being a huge nerd and a writer, I think a lot about quotes from books, shows, movies, and games that have stuck with and there's one from God of War: Ragnarok that comes to mind here (by the way, I actually highly recommend playing or watching a playthrough of God of War 2018 and Ragnarok if you've struggled with masculinity in the same way I have, the music and cutscenes from those games have actually helped to pull me out of some mental spirals about my self-worth and identity as a man). It comes from a scene in which Kratos confronts his younger self, and is trying to decide if he is willing/ready to be a god again:
"Should I lose everything and everyone, will there still be enough left inside so that I do not become you? I do not know. But I have hope."
It's a quote that resonates with me now more than ever (even though it's from a DLC that just came out around Christmas, lol). I know now that I want to get to a place where there is enough left inside me that I know I'll never fall into that dark mental state again.
Something else that I've noticed has happened is the return of my passions for my hobbies and interests, especially for writing. I don't want to sound too arrogant, but I think I've begun to realize an important goal for my writing. If I'm lucky enough, I want to be able to write and release stories that explore masculinity and isolation, and, if I can, I want to create stories that can help guide other young men and boys who have struggled in the way I have and continue to do. I want to create characters who serve as positive male role models, who are emotionally strong, intelligent, and kind. I want to write stories of personal redemption, and show that no one is truly ever too far gone to be able to recover. If my writing could help even just one person who is struggling, then I would consider my career to be a success.
At the risk of being too cheesy, I'd like to end this very long-winded post with another quote, this one from a YouTube channel I recently discovered, and one I would highly recommend to just about anyone: Cinema Therapy. It's from their video about "A Silent Voice", which also happens to be one of my favorite movies, and one of my main inspirations when it comes to the kinds of stories I want to tell.
"Depression doesn't go away, doesn't lift for most people. But there's a capacity to feel again. There's a capacity to feel joy. The cure for so many things is connection. And we may think 'no one want to connect with me.' But we just need to find the right people."
I think the only thing I would add to that is that, in my opinion, the connection can also be with yourself.

I’m not a new player but i’m for sure not experienced in the game. I played on and off since legion as dps doing low to medium keys, some normal raids etc. Now I wanted to try tanking. I found it really, really stressful even if I like to tank.
I know the tank has to know things, my problem is I can’t know things if I don’t do them again and again, wiping and trying again. I feel like people expect you to already have everything memorized: the route, the trash abilities, what to pull and what not.
I don’t want to look like i’m entitled but I think one should learn the game by playing, maybe watching/reading a guide before, sure, but how can you remember everything without trying? I feel like guides are filled with non essential thing, like every single mob abilities, so I don’t know how to filter important mechanics to remember.
When I watch a dungeon guide for tanking i feel like so much infos are thrown at me that the options are:
1) just try the dungeon, maybe from a low keys and going up and see what I got/what I remember and learn by trial and error
2) watching the video guide again and again until everything is memorized
I prefer too choose option 1, because I already have to study a lot for college. Is this a bad thing? I feel like i’m griefing/wasting people time. And I can’t always use my key because to learn a dungeon I need to repeat that dungeon multiple times.
This is what I did recently:
I wanted to learn uldaman, so I joined an m0. All went good. The first problem was at a +5 key. I’m a ilvl 501 prot paladin, I don’t know if it matters.
I die at the lizard pull after bromach. Everyone leaves. I learn I need to kite the lizards and outrange the jagged bite attack. This wasn’t obvious in the wowhead/icy veins written guide.
I try uldaman +5 again and I manage to kite jagged bite, but now always. The cast is really fast and it’s not the only thing I need to keep attention to. Some times I get hit. A warlock starts complaining about How I don’t know trash mechanics. We manage to time the key at least.
So I join a third +5 uldaman. The first pull I pull too small and dps tells me to do worthwhile pulls (I have a route downloaded, but I forgot which mobs to pick. This is another problem. I can’t remember routes until i’ve done the dungeon multiple times and I can’t open mdt before every pull on the go. So i pull how much I feel, generally not too much.)
The second pull I do it bigger but, maybe because I was anxious, I forget to use a cd before pulling. Sotr wasnt enough. I die. Dps starts with the classic “tank wtf are you doing” and everyone leaves again.
Now, the thing that is frustrating me the most is not m that I died. It’s a videogame, you lose, it’s part of what makes it fun.
It’s the feeling of having other people time wasted, as i’ve been told already, because I didn’t study enough.
Yes I have a guild but my schedule is variable and having not played for a bit since the start of the season, they’re already pushint +7s while I still can barely complete a 5. So pugs are my main option.
I don’t know, I like the idea of tanking, but maybe I don’t want to spend so much time out of the game studying routes and trash mechanics.
This is my raider io if it helps: https://raider.io/characters/eu/pozzo-delleternit%C3%A0/Adriusir
I feel like I should go back at dpsing and not bother with all this.

Dropped a bunch of prices, I'd really love to offload this stuff as it's just sitting in a tote in my garage and I hate it. Shipping is not included unless noted.

Thanks for looking!

In 2061People began randomly obtaining superpowers, 2 each, and the world was sent into chaos, unequipped to deal with this new threat- themselves. For roughly 500 years the earth was an apocalyptic wasteland until 7 gods emerged from the chaos and began anew, wiping the slate with a great flood. After all was cleansed, they began to rebuild. The current year is 2761, and the world is just a imitation of the society that once was, held tightly in place by 2 warring factions: The United League and Olympus. In the United League the Super Powered populus, dubbed Elves, are not allowed to reveal or use their powers unless a high ranking soldier or peacekeeper. Those who do so anyway are neutralized, with a trial beforehand if there lucky. Even with Peacekeepers amped up on super steroids and equipped with high tech power armor, It does little to curb the neverending wave of super-powered crime. The concept of superheroes has been mysteriously scrubbed from history and the very concept of powers brings to mind chaos and evil in the average civilian. This is a world dangling from its last threads of hope, and that's where you come in. Throughout this campaign you will rise from a street gang trying to protect your hometown to a full on Avengers/Justice League type defenders of earth. Your actions, ideals, and legacy will come to define: The Dawn Of The Silver Age!
That's the major premise but here's some other details on the setting you may like to know:You get two powers that (usually) dont have anything to do with each other, Powers start off fairly weak and minor, you live in a small town, you also get two side characters for yourself, there will be classic comic book camp, superheroes dont exist yet, and lastly in this setting - Heroes dont kill.

So, picture this: a 15-year-old me, diving headfirst into the glamorous world of dishwashing at a Dutch restaurant. Little did I know, I was about to embark on a journey through the messiest, smelliest, and most stomach-churning depths of the kitchen hierarchy.
Fast forward a year, and here I am, a seasoned veteran of the dish pit. I've battled meat scraps, lettuce remnants, and even waged war against a rogue rat in the grease pit. Oh yes, I've danced with dirty dishes and come out (mostly) unscathed.
But fear not, fellow dishwasher warriors, for I bring tidings from the frontlines – survival tips for the toughest job in the kitchen(IMO):

1. Dress the Part, Embrace the Mess: Leave your fancy attire at home and suit up in clothes you don't mind getting a little greasy. And remember, those old boots you've been meaning to toss? They'll do just fine in the dish pit.
2. Efficiency is Key: Channel your inner Tetris master when loading the dishwasher. Prioritize by size and fragility, and don't be afraid to give those plates a double wash if needed.
3. Prepare for the Onslaught: Be ready for the rush, my friends. When the dinner bell rings, it's all hands on deck. Flexibility and adaptability are your secret weapons.
4. Conserve the Hot Water: Treat hot water like gold – use it sparingly, lest you find yourself facing a mountain of chocolate-covered dishes with nothing but cold water to fight them off.
5. Vigilance Against Unwanted Guests: Keep an eye out for furry intruders. While we may not welcome them with open arms, pests like rats and mice sometimes make an unwelcome appearance. Stay alert and report any sightings to the powers that be.
6. Approach the Grease Pit with Caution: Venturing into the grease pit is not for the faint of heart. Proceed with care, and be prepared for a thorough hose-down afterward. It's not exactly a spa day, but it might be worth the treasures it rewards.
7. Maintain Your Machines: Take pride in keeping your equipment in top shape. Regular maintenance and minor repairs can save you from major headaches down the line.
8. Find Your Zen in the Suds: Embrace the rhythm of the dishwashing routine. Let the soothing sound of running water be your mantra as you scrub away.
9. Keep Your Eyes on the Prize: Every dish cleaned brings you one step closer to your culinary dreams. Stay focused, stay motivated, and remember – you're not just washing dishes, you're honing your skills for the kitchen of tomorrow.

So there you have it, my fellow dishwashing comrades. Armed with these tips and a healthy dose of humor, you're ready to tackle anything the kitchen throws your way. Onward, to dishwashing glory!

I'm posting some old stories that I wrote maybe 6 or 7 years ago before I knew HFY existed so you may have read them before on WP or some other sub but they are mine. Also, obligatory "english is not my first language"
Calvin sat in silence, his gaze focused on the green dot flashing slowly on his console. The Council had kept their word. His comm interface had connected to a temporary relay satellite near Saturn. A special request that was granted to lift Earth's isolation sentence for a brief moment to relay a final message to the cosmos. Everything was ready, the message prerecorded the day before and final adjustements to the gift had been made a few weeks ago. Calvin pondered everything that had happened, every events leading to this moment, to humanity's last chance to stand on the centerstage.
It didn't start this way. When humanity first made contact with an extraterrestrial race, we were welcomed with opened arms. Our very first message was "we come in a spirit of friendship" Humanity's quick evolution and technological progress had already caught the attention of the Galactic System Alliance. Some of its members were concerned over the general violent tendencies demonstrated throughout human history but true to its benevolent mission, the Alliance had given humanity the benefit of the doubt. We were allowed outposts, territories, trading routes and even the newly created 328th seat on the Galactic Council of Representatives. Humanity was given a real fair chance to shine. And boy did we waste it.
The Galactic Alliance was over 5 million years old, some of its members could be traced back all the way to the founding days of the Alliance. It had brought about a previously unheard of, almost uninterrupted era of peace throughout the galaxy. Its rulings were generally both fair and just. A beacon of hope and justice into the dark cosmos. Humanity gave it its first civil war, less than 50 years after joining. 5 million years of peace, ripped apart in the space of a moment.
Humanity started off well enough. Outposts and trading were profitable and while human vessels were not as technologically advanced as other races, our ability to anticipate enemy movements and quickly adapt to volatile situations made us a prime candidate for galactic peacekeeping missions. Humans rapidly made a name for themselves as a deterrent to pirates and smugglers. The Galactic Council did not hesitate to authorize human settlements in sectors prone to hostile actions, knowing that humanity's presence would pacify a sector quickly. Humanity's image rose to a more favorable one and initial concerns and hesitations towards us slowly crumbled away. Unfortunately with the rise of humanity's standing, came a rise of its hubris. After all, humans will always remain humans; fickle, volatile, greedy.
Humanity became more and more demanding in its dealings with the Alliance. We constantly wanted more, became arrogant, took what we felt we deserved. The Council turned a blind eye when humanity moved in on turbulent territories and claim them for itself but before long, we had our eyes set on more prominent systems. With every outburst and hostile action, we only isolated ourselves further. Humanity's positive image quickly turned negative, and when backed into a corner, humanity turned vengeful. We convinced ourselves we were the victims and that in the end, it was us or them. Some members of the Alliance came to view our side of things, others were forced into servitude. A simple spark was all it took for a full fledge civil war to break out.
Within the span of only 3 years, the Alliance was on fire, divided, broken. Humanity's unmatched potential for warfare made it a formidable enemy but in the end our arrogance got the better of us and we lost. The consequences for our actions were harsh but justified. Given humanity's irrecoverable nature, we had been sentenced to erasing. All humans would be relocated to Earth, sterilized and left to die alone, the Sol system kept under a permanent military blockade. All mentions of humanity were to be removed from Galactic history and we would be forgotten, erased from existence. It was the second time only, in the entire Alliance's history that this punishment was handed out.
As a final gesture of good will, the Council had authorized a final message from humanity's last living representative to the members of the Alliance, to be distributed, but then erased. Looking up from his console, Calvin toggled the small switch that would send out the transmission to the satellite's internal memory, then end his life. He permitted himself a final smile, the Council would be seriously pissed... at first.
In the dark emptiness of space, the small satellite's memory indicator turned red, signaling reception of a message but unfortunately it was too far away to witness the small light flash from the thermo nuclear explosion that officially ended humanity's presence in the galaxy.
Captain Xandar was pacing back and forth across the small bridge of his scout vessel. While he was honored to be part of an official Council mission, he couldn't help but feel that he was potentially being sacrificed as cannon fodder. The Council may have granted the human's wish of a last message but it still feared a trap. Human's deceptive and violent nature would leave a dark shadow on the galaxy, slow to vanish. Humanity's first word to the Alliance, "Friend" had become a synonym of "deceit, treachery and naivety". The 20 large warships hiding just outside the limit of the Sol system did nothing to calm Xandar's nerves. While they were there to offer protection in case of a human trap, should things go south they would probably not hesitate to destroy Xandar's vessel if needed.
Captain, we are in range of the relay satellite. Systems confirm there is indeed a message on the internal memory. Initial scans show the data file is rather large but still looks clean.
Xandar sighed, the poor human schmuck probably went on a long tirade against the Alliance. A fitting end for such a violent race.
Very well lieutenant, download and scan the message. If everything looks good we'll transmit it to the Council and they can decide if it's worth sharing to the rest of the Alliance or not.
As soon as the young lieutenant opened the message file, all lights on the bridge went out, the quiet hum of the engines vanished and artificial gravity disengaged. Xandar was doing his best to maintain his composure while slowly drifting 2 feet in the air but as suddenly as it had vanished, artificial gravity came back and the emergency lighting activated, bathing the bridge in a reddish hue. On the main screen was a sole human, weak and frail in appearance.
Apologies to the commander of the Alliance vessel, I assure you that I meant no disrespect and no harm to your vessel and your crew. As authorized by the Galactic Council of Representatives, I hereby bring you a final farewell from humanity, as well as a final gift to remember us by.
Xandar was panicking, all restraint and stoic facade usually associated with his rank had vanished from his face, his eyes were white with fear.
Shit! The damn human played us like fool! Lieutenant, I want an immediate status report on the ship's systems. First officer, contact the fleet, there is no telling what we just exposed ourselves to.
Comms are down sir, unable to raise the fleet. We have limited access to the main computer and all blast doors have been sealed shut throughout the ship. She’s dead in the waters Sir.
Damn it! I want every exabyte of that datafile analyzed for any trace of a virus or even biological agents. We should have known better than to trust the humans to honor their word.
Xandar looked back to the monitor, the human had remained silent, probably anticipating the commotion that his message would cause. Xandar waited for the recording to resume.
Now, I assume the initial moment of shock is behind us so let’s continue. As I said, I bring you a final gift from humanity to all races and citizens of the Alliance. Fear not, though this final deception on our part may appear as vengeful, I assure you it is not the case. I knew the Council would never allow for this message to be shared throughout the Alliance, let alone our gift so I had to take some creative measures. Your analysis team is probably telling you about now that the 2 data files enclosed with this message are organic and they are correct though fear not, it is not a biological agent or a viral threat. Both files contain the DNA blueprints of Dogs. While we initially had dozen of sub-species, the complexity of this entire action limited me to only upload one specific breed. More precisely I give you the Retriever Labrador. I have enclosed blueprints for a brown-coated male and a golden-coated female. Though they are called man's best friend, I assure you they are nothing like us, to the contrary they are loyal, playful and innocent. They represent everything humanity has failed to be. They are our gift to you in the hope that you will one day forgive us for everything we have done. May they be a protector when evil threatens you. May they be love when hate isolates you. May they be a beacon of hope when darkness surrounds you. Treat them well. We did not deserve them, but hopefully you will prove yourself worthy of them.
The ship's systems came back online the very moment the recording ended. Lights rekindled across the bridge and the engines sprung back to life, filling the vessel with their low humming. Xandar looked over to the bridge crew, most of them still in shock and unsure of what exactly had happened. It was the young comms lieutenant that broke the silence first.
Sir, all systems are back online. Comms are back up and the fleet is hailing us, they want to know what the hell is going on. They are asking if we have been compromised.
Tell the fleet to remain on stand-by, we will need to assess the situation. First officer, give me a full systems check.
Sir, I'm detecting a massive power fluctuation from levels 3 through 7. Powers appears to have been rerouted to the auxiliary deck.
Tell engineering to stabilize the power levels and seal off the auxiliary deck
Controls are unresponsive Sir, power is being channeled to the backup biological replicators
What? Kill all power to the auxiliary deck, NOW!
We can't, the auxiliary deck is hooked up directly within the main generator and has its own dedicated safety bypass. It's meant to work even in the events of a catastrophic engine failure to insure the survival of the crew.
Shit! The human didn't do this by accident. He purposely automated his virus through the backup replicators knowing full well we wouldn't be able to turn them off. First officer, I need you to vent the atmosphere from the auxiliary deck's replicator room.
Controls are unresponsive Sir
Then blow the damn room out to space, do whatever is needed to stop this!
There is nothing we can do sir, we're completely locked out of the auxiliary deck. Security teams are waiting outside the replicator room but the system won't allow me to open the door.
Xandar was unsure how to proceed at this point. They had been compromised but calling in the fleet would mean immediate destruction. He pondered for a while but then made the decision to contact the fleet regardless of the consequences. He had a duty to insure the safety of the Alliance. He turned to the young lieutenant and gave the order to raise the fleet. His gaze was however quickly met with the panicked expression of the young comm's lieutenant.
Sir! The recording! It's transmitting itself to the fleet via our open commlink!
WHAT?
The fleet is no longer responding. I think... I think they're going through what we went through when we first opened the recording.
Xandar was in shock. The realisation of what was about to happen was slowly setting in.
If you're right son, that means the recording will activate their organic replicators as well and then transmit itself to the rest of the Alliance fleet. We've doomed the Alliance.
Sir! Replicators report completion of their programmed tasks.
Auxiliary deck controls are back online! Scanners indicate 2 life forms. Replicator room doors just opened on their own!
Xandar turned slowly towards his first officer.
Sir, there is a final message on the replicator console's screen.
---Protocol Goodboy1 successful
---Protocol Goodgirl2 successful
---May they show you the true meaning of the word "Friendship"
Bonus
It only seemed fitting that humanity's last action would be to blow trough bureaucratic redtapes and regulations to impose dogs on the galaxy (with the best of intentions of course). Calvin did promise no harm would come the vessel and its crew and that's been true... for the most part. There is definitly no physical harm and while psychological and/or traumatic consequences are a possibility (albeith a rather small one), you know... dogs will take care of that. It all works out in the end.
Well, except for the poor Glaxien crew members who turns out are deadly allergic to dog hair, and the Phlosaks whose skin reacts to dog urine as if it was acid (poor bastard got peed on his face when he lifted a puppy), and the Klaangorians who's very fragile and very vital lower mandible looked like the ideal chew toy for one young puppy. A very uselessly exposed lower mandible if you ask me. Not to mention the many planetary ecosystems that will be seriously messed up by the introduction of a new uncontrolled species.
In fact some would argue that those pesky government regulations were there for a reason, that with time, the Alliance could and would have experimented with the DNA blueprint in a controlled environment and then, given positive results, would have moved on to a gradual and supervised introduction of dogs in the galaxy.
But you know, that's just not the human way to do things. Better to rip the bandage in one go and hope for the best. Surely the Alliance can't fault humanity for what Calvin did, it was for the best, THEIR best and while in retrospect we are kinda sorry about the whole "accidental death by dogs" thing and ruined ecosystems, these are freak occurences, trivial, statistically benign. Like the great Cave Johnson once said, if I put these numbers into my calculator it makes a happy face.
You're welcome universe, we accept your most sincere gratitude and your apologies are much appreciated. You don't have to feel the need to mention it, we're totaly fine. In fact, please stop yelling at us.

Imagine you're a student really interested in astrophysics. You've taken the hardest science and math classes your school offers, and you spend your free time reading about black holes and learning coding languages to analyze data from telescopes. You're passionate about the subject and want to do some real research in the field this summer.
But, when you go scrolling on a2c looking for advice, you stumble upon dozens of posts about how science research for high schoolers is only possible if you have connections or have parents working in research. You start to feel discouraged and wonder if it's even worth pursuing.
Well, I'm here to tell you that it is absolutely possible to do science research this summer, even without connections or parents in the field. When I was in high school, I did research every summer, and I found it to be the most rewarding and exciting experience. Many of the skills I learned transfer over to my college courses—more so than olympiads or bowls (which I was not super active in, but did briefly)—and, for all you college application enthusiasts out there, it's a great resume booster.
Here's a brief overview of what my summers looked like: Summer after 8th grade: worked on an independent research project in computational pathology, later presented at Broadcom MASTERS and qualified to ISEF my freshman year Summer after 9th grade (COVID): worked on an independent research project in synthetic biology, won me 3rd Grand Award at ISEF in Bioengineering Summer after 10th grade: continued my independent project from the year before, this summer working under a mentor (project later won 1st place at ISEF), and also worked at my local lab simultaneously (was 3rd and 5th author on two research papers) Summer after 11th grade: Attended the Research Science Institute (RSI) program at MIT Summer after 12th grade: Joined a new lab at Harvard (where I go to school now)
If you have no idea what any of these things mean, don't worry! I'll break it down for you.

1. Independent research projects: These are projects that you design and carry out on your own, without a mentor. This is a great way to explore your interests and develop your critical thinking and problem-solving skills. I've found that I was able to rapidly develop my skills in coding and data analysis from independent projects. It is really hard to find mentors/join a lab at a young age, so this is the route I recommend for younger students.
2. Mentored research projects: Once you've developed some skills and can demonstrate that you're capable of conducting some aspects of research, you can start looking for mentors or reaching out to labs. This can be intimidating, but there are many resources and tips online on how to do this effectively. The strategy that I used was cold emailing. Many students will email a few professors, but then give up if they don't get a response. Persistence is key! I've heard from friends and other students who emailed upwards of 100 experts before they scored a position! Also - please remember, as a high school student, you are not entitled to or owed a research position. Be professional and respectful in your emails and understand that labs have limited space and resources. Oftentimes, labs will want to get undergrads or grad students from their own institution (especially schools like Harvard, MIT, Stanford, etc.) so consider emailing labs at smaller schools or schools in your area. This will often lead to a more rewarding experience as you can continue working during the school year and visit in person if you are doing wet lab work. Also, don't be afraid to reach out to labs in different fields or disciplines. You never know what kind of interesting research you might end up doing! When we're young (heck, I'm still young as just a rising sophomore in college), our research interests are very malleable. You might think you love astro, but end up totally obsessed with comp bio. Keep an open mind and be eager to learn!
3. Summer programs: There are many amazing summer programs out there that offer high school students the opportunity to conduct research under the guidance of experienced mentors. However, beware! Some programs may be expensive and not credible. I would recommend sticking to programs that have a formal affiliation with an institution, especially residential programs where you are bound to be in-person. Some online programs will say that you will get 2 credits from a school, but this doesn't mean that the program is formally conducted AT or WITH that university. The program I did, Research Science Institute, is a great one. There are others such as SSP, Clark Scholars, Garcia, and more which you can find online. However, you are bound to encounter some fishy programs as well, so just stay vigilant!

Note that many of these programs are extremely competitive, so doing independent research first or as a back-up is a great option!

1. Competitions: You may have been confused when I tossed around the "ISEF" and "Broadcom MASTERS" acronyms earlier on. These are science competitions where you can present your research projects and compete with students from all over the world. These competitions are a great way to showcase your work and get feedback from experts in the field. Since this is a college application forum, I should mention -- these also look great on college applications and can open doors to other opportunities. ISEF genuinely changed my life, and it was one of the fondest experiences I have from high school. Getting a trip with friends is also a lot of fun :) Look up science research competitions in your area and see which ones you are eligible for.

Now, inevitably, there are probably a ton of you that have no idea what you should start with/do! I'll first start by saying, the best way to learn how to do science research is to just do it :) You can read all of these posts and guides online, but at the end of the day, the best way to learn and improve is by actually conducting research. You will make mistakes, but that's part of the process!
Here are some things that I did to start out:

1. Make a notebook and start reading news in an area you are interested in, every day. If you don't know what area you are interested in, pick one randomly to start with. Make notes in your notebook and record questions you have. As you come up with questions, you will find yourself leaning towards certain ones over others: i.e. you might be really intrigued to find the answer to "how do we know the Milky Way's Mass?" as opposed to "why does water spin clockwise"
2. You may have noticed that these questions are extremely broad. This is GOOD! As you get deeper and deeper, you will ask more complex questions, i.e. "Why are there varying numbers of synonymous codons in different species genomes?"
3. At a certain point, the hope is that you stumble upon a question that no one knows the answer to/the answer you stumble upon isn't ideal. This is your first idea for a project! My very first science project was on why certain liquids produce more gases than others. I thought chemistry would be my favorite around 6th grade, then later got more interested in biology after some amazing teachers in middle school, before getting specifically interested in synthetic biology and computational biology in early high school, until I went to summer camp before senior year and totally switched into Neuroscience! Today, I'm doing computational neuro work, but am sure my interests might continue to change a little.
4. Once you have a good list of questions, start exploring them - this is the beginning of your independent project! There will be many that you can't do because of limited resources or access, but hopefully you will find some that you can do from home! The internet and computers are amazing tools (can be used for modeling, simulations, etc.) and power a ton of student-run projects. This is why you see machine learning super commonplace in student research nowadays.

On online forums, you will unfortunately find a lot of negativity around science research, ISEF, publishing papers etc. as students. This is because there are situations where students get assisted by parents/connections and technically compete on a biased playing field. But notice that my post DOES NOT mention anything about parents or connections - science research as a high schooler doesn't have to be this! To those of you who don't have connections, etc. but want to do research - please know that YOU CAN DO IT!
Also, as a concluding note, please remember - there are a ton of other ways to explore your interest in STEM besides doing research. I personally did research so I love suggesting it, but remember that there are olympiads, bowls, robotics, science clubs, hackathons, and more.

I'm rather nerdy. I spend most of my days at home hanging out with the cats. I've loved art ever since I was very young. I have big ambitions to have my own graphic design gig some day.
I love video games. I got a lot to play on. PS5, Xbox One, Switch, Meta Quest 2, and my iPad. So, like, pretty much everything but PC 😅 I also collect PS1 & 2 games to play on my PlayStation 2. In recent years I've been very casual with my gaming, playing a lot of platformers and survival/crafting games. I'll play a bit of everthing, though, except, like, sports games.
I love tabletop games. Star Wars Legion, Warhammer 40K/AoS, Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon TCG, Digimon TCG, and Lorcana. I love to paint miniatures as well, but it's a bit of a struggle to actually get people to play with me. Never really gotten the chance to play an TTRPG, but would love to. I suffer from a bit of learning curve.
I love music. Dance Gavin Dance, Papa Roach, Twenty-One Pilots, A Day To Remember, stuff like that. Bit of an elder emo. I wish I could play an instrument, but I fear I may be tone deaf 🙃
I love Marvel. Spider-Man's probably my favorite.
I love Harry Potter. Pretty sure my house is Hufflepuff.
Huge fan of The Office. I've seen the whole series countless times.
I love horror movies and got into true crime on YouTube few years ago. My favorite horror movie is probably The Blair Witch Project, second to the 2003 Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
I love anime and manga. Demon Slayer is by far my favorite. I also really love Fullmetal Alchemist, Attack on Titan, Digimon, Dragon Ball, and Sword Art Online.
I'm doin' a Japanese course on Duolingo.
I love baking, coffee, and grilling. I don't have too much confidence in my cooking skills 😅 I'm rather adept at baking though, and I love smoked meats 🤤
