every time I mention photograph by def leppard on here I have to say that if you weren’t here in november 2020 you don’t even get it. like you don’t understand how many times I listened to that fucking song on youtube because I didn’t have spotify premium. that song was there for me when I was doing stupid online school and wasn’t eating and we had to evacuate my house because my cat had fleas so bad that my sister and I were covered in flea bites so I was writing my scholarly paper from a shady airbnb and I had like two hours of apush hw every night which doesn’t sound like a lot but it was for me and goddamn it that class was hard and the fucking election was happening and I was severely depressed and had no motivation to do literally anything and we thought my grandpa was going to die and I was so emotionally dependent on tumblr for my sanity it wasn’t even funny. nor was it working. very silly time in my life words cant even convey it

the butterfly effect is so intriguing to me. it’s crazy to think that a small decision can change the course of so many pathways in your life. like for example, i cancelled my trip to hawaii over winter break, and ended up meeting my best internet friend of over a year. i logged onto tumblr in may 2020 and now i’m constantly writing as a way to escape reality. i dropped out of preschool and got hospitalized in south korea. i almost passed out at marching band practice, and now i’m addicted to goldfish. i impaled my foot with a charger and then the next night, spent hours with a boy i’d never talked to before. my dad renewed his passport summer 2018, and then a week later i got food poisoning. i went to taco bell and within a few short months, fell into the deepest downward spiral ever. i showed up to APUSH when i didn’t need to, and became obsessed with folding origami stars. tiny moments like these are all interconnected in one way or another, and that’s what i find so beautiful about the world

Opportunity Cost During Covid-19
In March of 2020 was when the pandemic had started to really take a toll in Southern California. In my sophomore year of high school, my school suddenly called for a “two-week break”, so the whole school had to adjust to online learning in just a few days. For the rest of the 2020 school year and into the 2021 school year, a lot of my friends were sad about having to do classes on Zoom without being able to see their friends in person, I personally loved doing class in bed a minute after waking up. A lot of the times, turning on our cameras and verbally participating was not required.
The reason why I bring this up about Covid is the idea of opportunity cost. In my junior year of high school was when I took AP English Language and Composition (AP Lang.) and AP US History (APUSH) and 4 other non-AP courses. The question I asked myself every morning was whether I wanted to wake up and actually pay attention to the teacher or if I wanted to log into Zoom and then just sleep through all of class. The opportunity cost of actually paying attention to the teacher was more time to sleep and then not doing so well on the AP tests, and the opportunity cost of sleeping through my classes was actually understanding the lessons and acing the AP tests. This was not the only question I asked every day. Every day, I also decided whether or not I wanted to do my homework or watch Youtube at night, whether I wanted to sleep early or stay up watching Korean drama, or whether I wanted to actually do the homework myself or look for answers online/getting answers from my friends.
Sadly, I chose to do a majority of my classes in bed and not pay attention to what the teacher was saying, leading to my not-so-high AP scores.
All to say, opportunity costs does not apply to student life during the Covid pandemic, but I still make choices and weigh the different opportunity costs in my every day life.

I have a little over 24 hours to be ready for this apush exam and, if I’m completely honest, I’m not going to be. I looked at my mom and was like “I really do not think I’m going to do great on this” and bless her soul, she was like “It’s okay, it doesn’t affect your final grade. We don’t have to tell your dad if you fail, but I don’t think you’re going to.”
You gotta understand that it’s not your fault. Most of us haven’t been in class at all the entire fourth term. For those of us in semester long classes, that means you missed HALF of the class, and you were still expected to teach it to yourself. And those who take year long classes, that’s still 1/4 of the class! And they decided that it was acceptable to have us prepare by ourselves at home, shorten the time constraints, and not implement a curve. No one was properly prepared for this exam. It’s a new experience for everyone. And it’s okay.
You are going to be okay. Do not let a 45 minute written assignment scare you. It won’t hurt you. Do your best.
Your best is not working yourself to the edge of a mental breakdown. It isn’t losing sleep to cram for the test. It isn’t crying every time you think about the test because you’re afraid to fail.
It is no longer your best at that point.
Your best is doing the most you can do without self destructing. For me, my best is currently resting and watching cartoons to avoid stressing about tomorrow’s exam anymore than I already have.
Take a deep breath, remember that this is ONE CLASS, and that it will NOT harm your future as much as you think it will.
Read a bit, make some notes, do a practice DBQ, relax. Get some sleep, don’t forget to eat. And don’t self destruct. That is the best you can do for yourself right now. You got this. ❤️
Good luck to everyone taking AP exams this year, I believe in you! It’s been a struggle, but we’re in this together.

Skip it, Zuko Fanfic
(clock in 5:37pm EST)
Ever since Katara and Aang had been all fooly around each other I couldn't help but feel lonely. Mai and I were just too different, there wasn't much I could do about that. Now, I would just watch sunsets alone in the fire nation palace. The sun shined a deep and oddly familiar crimson red.
"Firelord Zuko. FIRELORD ZUKO!"
I snapped out of the hypnotic state I had been in,
"yes?" I gasped, "Aang!" I ran in to give my friend a hug. Katara was with him too, I gave her a wave. They immediately proceeded to make out. I said nothing.
"Get a room,"
I heard shackles and a voice say. Katara began to giggle as I began to loose my appetite.
"Oh, Zuko, this is a prisoner we took in for illegally selling tea," Aang blushed.
I couldn't help but laugh at the sound of that. My uncle would have loved the joke.
"Is...something funny?" Katara asked.
"Yeah, your mother's death," the prisoner joked. Again, I let out a laugh. Katara's face turned red with fury,
"ZUKO! ARE YOU SERIOUSLY LAUGHING RIGHT NOW!?"
"What does it look like?" The prisoner answered for me.
"dhshdbajjse," I bdkslasjsed.
Katara then began to water bend. She did her uglee little whip thingy and accidentally put out the lanterns and broke the prisoner's shackles. Then I heard foot steps around me. I felt gusts of wind, and with each gust a crimson flame shooting into a empty lantern. This fire was far more beautiful than the fire that lit the room before. My uncle told me about this! Only someone with a crimson heart, both warm and broken, could produce this colour.
"GRAB HER!!" Katra screeched.
She hid behind me and held on to my arm.
'Leave her alone, she's with me." I asserted.
"AGHH!!" Angry Katara stormed out with Aang follow her.
"what's your name," I asked her.
"Y/N," she replied.
(Clock out 6:02 EST)

@ APUSH/ US HISTORY STUDENTS
I’m working on typing up my high school notes from APUSH and a few other subjects. Notes so far go through The Great Awakening and I’ll try and stay at least 2 months ahead of the curriculum with my notes. If you need any help with any topic in particular, feel free to let me know at [email protected]

I love how adults would tell us that in highschool and college, our emails needed to be super formal because that's how teachers would expect us to talk, and that's how they would respond, well I just did that in an email to my apush teacher and he just responded with "yup"....
no greeting, no signature, not even like formal language... just... yup

the most recent things in my school account Google search history are all variations of "what is the charge for plotting murder" and "conspiracy to murder include plotting murder" i wonder if admin can see my searches and if so, if they're Concerned

AP students are just regular students with high goals for themselves and low motivation.

I’ve decided that APUSH is a stupid class and I hate every aspect of it except Adam Norris and Henry Clay
