    Words of Wisdom for a Stressed out High-School Freshman?

    Thank you everyone! I should point out Leonheart231, I'm doing IB A. Because Florida schools are terrible, and B. because the school I'd be zoned for is terrible for a Florida school, so I just decided to do IB at a different school. Carlgrace: I have to admit, I couldn't be less interested in...

    Words of Wisdom for a Stressed out High-School Freshman?

    Hello, and as you can probably tell I'm a stressed out high school freshman. I understand that I'm a freshman and I should enjoy my high school years, blah blah blah, but high school is only four years of your life, so yes I'm worrying about which schools I get into as they will decide my...

    What Are Your Thoughts on the Best Laptop for Under $750?

    Thanks everyone. I usually dual boot windows and linux, mostly use linux though. I've had bad experiences with every computer I've ever owned, and the only major brand I haven't owned is Apple and ASUS, and I don't like apple.

    What Are Your Thoughts on the Best Laptop for Under $750?

    I'm looking for a laptop that costs around $600-$700, highest being like $750. I currently have an '09 Toshiba Satellite, and hate it. Not going to go with Toshiba, the charger is crap, the speakers are crap, the touchpad is crap, everything is a piece of crap. I got some spare cash over...

    Why Did My Teacher Deduct Points for My Sentence?

    Today I had a vocabulary test at school. One of the words on the test was recluse, and I had to use it in a sentence. I wrote the following: Osama was believed to live in recluse. The teacher put a -1 mark next to the sentence. Usually the teacher will write next to the sentence why it...

    Science Fair Question: Unifying Forces and Winning Science Fairs

    Okay, I plan on going to county science fair after my school science fair this year. I'm in 9th grade, and did a double slit experiment (with light!.) A friend of mine (best friend) has won first place before on a county and state level (same experiment.) And several grand prizes type things. He...

    Looking for free animation program

    I have a bit of a dilemma. I'm designing a game in PHP (been designing it for several months now.) And want to release a trailer. Right now, the game isn't very pretty, and won't be until I get someone to do some artwork for me, but I haven't gotten much interest anywhere I've posted looking...

    High School Nonexistence outside the universe

    Not sure if this is really the answer to your question. The theory I've heard of is that once you reach the supposed "edge" of the universe, it wraps around, like pacman, so the universe can be thought of as a sort of beach ball (although the universe is mathematically proven to be flat.) Where...

    Stargazing Which Mid-Priced Telescope Should I Choose?

    So far, I've had a Orion SkyScanner 100 for about 2 months, and I love it. I go out any time the weather is clear, and blast Bob Marley while I watch the stars. Since Christmas is coming up, I plan on getting some spare cash, and have decided I would like to buy a mid priced telescope...

    Okay thanks. This is for my creative writing class, and the teacher is really, erm... Picky I should say. Edit: Thats when I started having a writers block. Was pretty sure that's when it fell down.
