Just remember this was only a few years back when I was still in school




What was your argument against music in school, The cost of running such programs?


**No trolling without a permit. For a permit please inquire within**
I argued for it being important enough in test scores for it to stay in schools!
 
I remember rewatching some of the earlier seasons of TNG on Netflix but they took those all off a few years ago.

I'm convinced that Netflix will add TNG when they start showing the new season

Dear Australians of the Board/Edie (why can't I tag her- did she change her name again?)

I may very well (like 80%) be coming to Australia (Sydney to be specific) in March. Get ready. I'll bring bagels.
Sydney is amazing. We were there over New Years 2 years ago. If you can book the bridge climb, definitely do it, followed by Pancakes on The Rocks.
 
Am I the only one with this problem?

I have a tendency to procrastinate on papers because I am terrified that if I just let myself right something crappy as a rough draft, it will be so bad and have so many holes in it that it'll be impossible to polish.

Same with studying for tests. I start to freak out and wonder how I'll internalize the information (because sometimes I have to change my studying strategy) and I worry that if I don't study in just the right way, I'll forget everything and will have wasted my time.

Ugh. My perfectionism is going to ruin me.

You're definitely not alone. I used to wait until the very last second to start my studio art projects in college because I knew I couldn't perfectly recreate what was in my head and anything less was failure - even if I got an A on it and it got the most positive comments during our class critiques.

But then I started doing the opposite where I would start my projects like wayyyy too early and I would finish it, throw it out, and then start over because it wasn't perfect enough. I don't know if that was any better. There was one project that I scrapped three times before I finished it. It was over 85 hours worth of work. (Brag moment but it was totally worth it because I ended up being the only one in the class who got a perfect score on every single one of my projects and it was entered in a handful of exhibits and won awards in them. Even in the professional division hollaaa.)

Ugh, thank you! My grades are suffering because of this. I'm the same way with YouTube as well.
