If you did everything you mentioned abysmally you definitely should not have had a miserable time in high school^^. If I could go back to high school with some perspective, I'd probably put in less effort, lol. And if you got into Purdue for engineering, then you're probably quite good^^. While overall they might be ranked more so midtier they have a top engineering program, right? | ||

PSATS/SATS/ACTS/College Applications/After School Activities/Community Service Hours/College Applications again/HELL Highly overrated, and inefficient imho. You are better off getting all of your electives and basic classes at a Regionally/Nationally accredited Community College and transfer to whatever school you want to go to (transfers are a lot easier than going the SAT/ACT route...also not to mention many colleges are de-emphasizing the SAT/ACT's). It is a lot cheaper this way and is much easier imho (don't have to waste your time with SAT/ACT / Applications / Community Service / etc.). I know at my 4 year CC (Florida is one of the rare States with CC's allowed Bachelor programs), you are guaranteed to transfer into USF, UF, FSU, as long as you have the grades. If you want to save tens of thousands of dollars or more and get the same education or better (most of my Profs come from USF/Other State Universities) due to much lower class sizes, then go this route. | ||

Anyway, was planning on cranking out a lot of games today, got glued to this xD. Quite amazing. Commentary was well done and insightful, karaoke was hilarious. Learned a lot actually. gg wp. mic was a little quiet though. The static in the background wasn't really a problem since it was quiet enough to be drowned out by the ambient game noises. | ||

 Really good commentary, in an english that I can understand just perfectly, it not being my best language. Your also playing very good, I think that I finally found a stream of a Terran that I like watching more. Watching White-Ra and TLO as T is not as educational I think.^^ I also really like your maturity. You just know the other person played better then you and dont blame balance or whatever for your loss. Big respect for that I suggest tho to get a webcam and fix your microphone (With the background noises) If you buy a some kind of quality Cam you normally can use the built-in microphone if your PC is not too loud I use a Logitech Lifecam Cinema HD and its really awesome, but my PC is also kinda silent. I hope you will stream a lot of games :D looking forward to it | ||

Generally speaking I did not feel they were very important tests (the SAT at least, I didn't take any practice tests or take the ACTs). I went into the SAT with a massive hangover from partying the night before and wrote my college application the actual day it was due, including the essays, without having them proofread. Before it sounds like I'm bragging, I would put myself in the majority of the people with this mentality that went to the same college as me, UCI. Although no Ivy League, it's still ranked 13 for public universities in the nation. And everyone I know that went to Stanford or Berkeley (sample size: 5) didn't study extensively either - they might have taken a practice course, and worked on their college applications for a week or so, but that's it. High school is a joke compared to college in terms of stress. If you're stressing out ridiculously in high school, something is wrong, and you just stress out easily. Only thing has school has is a shitton of time consuming busy work, but it doesn't matter, because you never have to worry about scoring well on tests because not only are they super easy as long as you listened in lecture (which you have to attend, you're in high school), but all tests combined are like 35% of your grade. I did less than 5 hours of community service as well. ^Honestly, apply to like 5 colleges max, and just use common sense for the SATs and college apps. Shouldn't be too damn hard. | ||

PSATS/SATS/ACTS/College Applications/After School Activities/Community Service Hours/College Applications again/HELL Agree, though I didn't realize how fast that stuff was coming, nor was prepared as well (informatively, my school didn't tell us any of this shit) as I would have liked, so it wasn't until the start of my Junior year that I started preparing for tests. Then Senior year was HELL. I'm so fucking glad I'm through that. But yeah depends how much you want to commit to school and how high of a college you want to get into, etc. etc. Not like you can't study during matchmaking/loading time anyways  | ||

PSATS/SATS/ACTS/College Applications/After School Activities/Community Service Hours/College Applications again/HELL For me even when high school was at it's hardest points, I do not think that it ever really stopped me from doing other things. I guess trying to play StarCraft at a competitive level is something I never really tried, but I do not think that high school gets in the way too much. As long as you can manage time well it is not a problem. | ||

My first impressions from yesterday were confirmed, you're probably already one of the best Terran Streamers out there, in terms of learning something as a viewer. Awesome mindset and maturity. Really, keep it up and consider going pro by joining a big team. I think you really have the potential to achieve great things if you are interested in a carrier like that. I'm VERY interested in a carrier!!! jk lol | ||
