Last-Minute Tips for College Applications in January

Photo by Pixabay: https://www.pexels.com/photo/gray-study-dice-on-table-301920/ January can feel a bit late to start applying for college or university, but don’t let that stop you. You might think, “Isn’t it too late?” but guess what? It’s not! Many institutions still have late applications, and some even keep their doors open for walk-in registrations. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, don’t…

is sugishita a big silly stupid dumdum?

my staunch belief is that sugishita is NOT DUMB. hes pretty smart, actually. somehow i fell into the illusion of sugishita being a dumbass, which, of course he is, but, like, hes not dumb, or super naive, or an idiot (an archetypical baka) (affectionate) the way sakura is. see: sugishita not falling for suo's bullshit

extremely unimpressed

but he gloats a little too much about this... maybe hes usually pretty baka stupid but not as much as sakura.

his favorite subject is chemistry! dumdum heads like sakura or kaji either have 0 or have PE as their favorite subject. even if hes interested in it because of gardening, he knows the material.

so heres what i think: i think he gets average grade. ok grades. which is great for somebody who go to bofurin and sleep through class since the 2nd grade. in a normal high school, he would be a good ole just-below-average to average to barely-above-average student. in furin, this would probably put him at the upper quartile of his class. being quiet and socially awkward doesnt mean hes a big dumdum in everything else. hes not good at expressing himself, yes -- i think sugishita's development will likely center around him learning how to express himself and may end with him helping somebody else articulating their feelings, or (framed as unexpectedly) stepping up to a leadership role temporarily, like in a fight -- but, like, that doesnt make him dumb. a stereotypical teenage boy is bad at words but good at science, for example.

heres my headcanon/fanfique(tm): it would be so funny if sugishita is the only one to go to college after graduation. he scores perfectly average in every subject, except for chemistry, which hes solidly miles above average. not genius, not once-in-a-lifetime talent, not award-winning even, but he starts off college already knowing two years worth of a chemist education.

which confound everyone who sees his grades and read his applications. suo and kiryuu passionately discussed and strategized on how sugi can get into college, from local ones to travel-to-tokyo ones, and suo even flirted with the idea of sugi getting into utokyo (too far from home, sugi absolutely cannot be left to his own device in a metropolitan area, chance of getting in ~1%). their homeroom teacher and guidance counselor almost went bald deciding how they should write his recommendation letter (quiet but helpful? righteous anger? he-looks-scary-but-hes-a-good-kid-we-promise?). they werent even sure if he was at college-reading level going into third year (nirei helped. a lot.) at the end, they settle at the nearest college in town, which is fine and decent enough that they harbored some doubt if sugishita is going to get in. umemiya encouraged sugi to apply to several places (just in case).

to the surprise of most (but not suo, kiryuu, or umemiya), sugishita got into college. its a fine one. its close enough that he still lives at home, go to college full time, and work part-time at whatever establishment umemiya now works at (my headcanon is that he starts a farm. kiryuu uses his nepo baby money to be the primary stakeholder). sugi's grades in college is good enough that he contemplated getting a phd at some point. but then he decided, nah, and follow the agricultural science track, graduate, maybe get a masters, and work at the farm with ume-senpai. sometimes, when the local elementary school go to visit, ume pressured sugi into giving them a chemistry-focused tour.

andddd this is basically a fanfic. maybe i'll write it someday.

anyone else having to go through fhjy at a snail's pace bc every time there's a teacher-student interaction (even the positive ones!) you want to set something on fire because of how much you hate high school and american academic culture and it throws you back to the Bad Old Days of actually being in high school, but also you really like fantasy high and you really like the characters and their story and the players and the way they're exploring & critiquing the US school system and basically everything about the show but actually watching it makes your brain explode?

the kids in middle school couldn't handle my autistic swag (reciting every single wes high school story line from memory) so they bullied me relentlessly. it's fine. at the end of the day i still know every single wes high school story line from memory and what do they know? exactly. not that.

if anyone can LEGITIMATELY fucking explain to me what exactly the point is of having to upload a pdf and then type all of that information in again and also include the email addresses and phone numbers of people that will not be contacted to also have to write everything out AGAIN in a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SOFTWARE once they are actually considering you for a job..... let me know

something happened at work today that would take way too long to explain but at one point the customer said "am I confusing you?" in just the most patronizing holier-than-thou tone. and like ngl yeah the confusing ass way she was saying what she was saying did confuse me but me and my magna cum laude degree don't need this shit. you're not better than me because you're standing on the other side of the counter. there's something both comforting and obnoxious about knowing customers assume I barely got through high school. on the one hand if I do dumb shit they already think I'm a fucking moron so their opinion of me doesn't get any lower. on the other hand, you don't fucking know me or my life. and even if I didn't graduate uni magna cum laude and did struggle to graduate from high school that still wouldn't give you the right to automatically think you're better and smarter than me just because of my fucking job. like how are we still judging people based on their job. in this economy??

ALT:

[275a] and now you, who are the father of letters, have been led by your affection to ascribe to them a power the opposite of that which they really possess. For this invention will produce forgetfulness in the minds of those who learn to use it, because they will not practice their memory. Their trust in writing, produced by external characters which are no part of themselves, will discourage the use of their own memory within them. You have invented an elixir not of memory, but of reminding; and you offer your pupils the appearance of wisdom, not true wisdom, for they will read many things without instruction and will therefore seem [275b] to know many things, when they are for the most part ignorant and hard to get along with, since they are not wise, but only appear wise.

what are your thoughts on the validity of the concept of "cognitive offloading"? i like ai for the most part but i do worry that it might make me dumber at remembering things or doing hard cognitive work.

instead of answering this ask, here's an unrelated excerpt from phaedrus:
