  1. I think education should be mandatory, but there should be far less required classes, especially in high school. The majority of classes should be electives tailored to the individual student's interests and future plans. If that were the case, I think the teens and young adults of today would be more motivated and less burned out. I also think the current school system lasts a year longer than it needs to. By the end of 11th grade, you've already taken all of the main required courses, and it's kind of ridiculous to be a legal adult and still required to be in high school. Of course, maybe that's influenced by the fact that 12th grade for me was ruined by the pandemic, but I still think my point stands.
  2. I've arrived at the point where I literally don't give a fuck about school anymore. I'm just going to embrace my senioritis. :ButtercupLaugh:

      At my hometown’s high school, I’m pretty sure there’s a huge mural of words describing the very serious medical condition of senioritis. :umad: It’s quite contagious.

      @Cagey Indeed, pretty much everyone catches it at some point! And thanks to the pandemic and online school, I've had senioritis for basically the entire year. >_>

  3. Unpopular opinion: I do not like Bluetooth earbuds, or any wireless earbuds for that matter. Connecting them to a device is a huge pain, charging them is a huge pain, and then sometimes they randomly stop working for whatever reason.

    I'm going to always use wired headphones until the day I die. They're just easier and more comfortable.

      *is triggered by your opinion* (just joking) :P

      I never tried wireless earbuds and I don't plan to either, they are too expensive. Maybe if I suddenly won 1 million dollars I might get them though. ^_^

      Everyone in my family bar myself and my Dad have wireless Bluetooths. We're both quite old-fashioned and I use headphones that are completely wired. I don't want wireless earbuds because I don't really like them, plus I don't know how Bluetooth works. :twismile:

      I don’t like them either :/

  4. I've always liked odd numbers more than even numbers. Odd numbers just look and sound cooler to me, and I like having the opposite preference to most other people. :D

    (Just trying to distract myself from the shit day I've had)

  5. Same here! She was my least favorite main character when I started watching, but now she's one of my favorites.
  6. Well, I just failed my road test, and to be honest, I'm probably not going to try again. My area has enough public transportation that having a driver's license isn't a necessity. It is quite simply more trouble than it's worth.

  9. I've decided to change back to my original username. LyraLover may be the most accurate description of me, but my original name brings back so many nice memories. :twi:

  13. I'm going to be taking a hiatus from the forums for a week or two.

    I'm lacking the motivation to visit and scroll though notifications, plus I've just got too many deadlines and stuff coming up.

    Cya later.

  14. Yes. April break at my school always begins on the third Monday of April.
  15. I'm feeling pretty good right now, even though it's my last day of April break. Doing some fimfic writing right now. That's why I've stuck with online classes for the entire school year.
  16. Wow, that's interesting! I always wondered what the 514 stood for - I originally thought your birthday was May 14, but then I looked on your profile and saw that it wasn't, so I was confused.
  17. Did anyone else find that their online and offline lives sort of blended together during this past year? Mine did because for a while, there was really nothing to do in real life due to the pandemic and all that. I imagine that once I start going out and doing stuff more this summer, my online and offline lives will begin to separate again.

      I won't be going to a 4 year college, fuck that. 2 year college at most but honestly I just don't really care about any of that, I just wanna graduate and go from there.:please:

      I just try to stay as true to myself as possible. :adorkable:

  18. Living as a celebrity seems like it's either extremely easy or extremely hard. There's no in-between. Overall, I would not want to be one.
  19. This would be a hilarious Equestria Girls short:

    Snips and Snails stay after school to hang out in the Canterlot High gymnasium... on the day the building is being fumigated! :laugh:

      That's great to hear! :yay:

      A few people in my family have now got their doses too (or are about to get one), but I have no idea when I'll get one (I doubt that'll happen before summer). :coco:

  22. Here's chapter 4! I'm glad I finished it today, because I probably won't be able to write much for the rest of this week. :adorkable:

  23. It felt good to draw something again! It's been a few months since I last used my sketchbook. :D

    Here's Sugarcoat giving friendly advice to an uncertain Sky Scraper. She always looks out for her favorite cousin. :twi:

      In an RP I am doing with a friend on here, Afterglow is the 2nd in command of Nightmare Moon's guard with Moonlight as the leader. They are in love.

  24. It's a beautiful day, so I went to my favorite coastal park! Here are some pictures I took. :grin:

  25. As I predicted yesterday, that was an exciting race! :sassy:

    • Dominant performance from Verstappen today - he got a great start and never looked back! Hamilton gave him a good challenge early on, but then made a mistake.
    • Great drive by Norris too! Holding off Hamilton for that long was really impressive, and he certainly made up for yesterday's disappointment.
    • It's a shame that Perez spun off toward the end, he was on for a solid result.
    • Bottas's pace was terrible today, but the crash was 100% Russell's fault. Bottas left him enough room, he didn't need to go onto the grass.

      That second Red Bull seat is cursed.

      But yeah, overall a good race. Certainly looking good for the rest of the season, though it's early days yet. :twi:
