In your opinion how much do you think ib is actually recognized in universities around the world such as Ivy League schools because every ib coordinator I've talked to basically says ib is the gateway to Harvard but it's kind of their job to say things like that
It honestly depends on the school. You appear to be interested in the United States' Ivy League Schools, so in America, most schools will take I B credits similarly to AP credits. At state schools I believe you typically need a 4 or a 5 for university credit, while private schools require a 6 or 7. Harvard for example has a tendency of only taking 7s. I would look at the websites of the universities that you are interested in for these answers. For schools outside of the United States, IB is more commonly accepted and known about as there is no such thing as AP, but the standards are still generally high (in the 5-7 range). Honestly recognition depends on where you wish to attend, but the world (and finally the United States) generally recognizes the IB.

I didn't sleep for three days. h e l p
Solution: Coffee, sleeping and then doing homework in other classes, and/or doing homework while simultaneously sleeping. Eventually there will be a weekend and you'll get a nice lull before another school week. Make sure to maximize weekend sleeping.

Okay I wanted to know if this seems like a good plan: english HL, business HL, physics HL, math HL, economics SL and art SL. I feel like I'm committing social suicide.
I took 5 HL classes myself and although it was interesting, I don't regret it. You definitely have a challenge that you put ahead for yourself, but if you enjoy those subjects, go for it. If you manage your time and procrastinate only sometimes, anything is possible and there is time for extracurriculars and/or a social life or whatever you want to do. IB is all about time management, staying on top of things, and looking ahead. Good luck and enjoy (especially Math HL)!

Im taking chemistry next year at standard level and im so scared my teacher isn't encouraging us at all so is it tha hard?
Standard level Chemistry isn't overly difficult. As long as you have a grasp on general Chemistry and math skill, it isn't too bad. Chemistry SL is just a lot of math and a lot of rules or chemical interaction that build upon each other. Looking up the IB Chemistry SL curriculum on Wikipedia should give you a fairly decent outline of the course. I would say that HL chemistry gives much more reason to worry than SL. If Math and the previous chemistry that you've done is something that you like, you should do fine.

Does this count as your creativity for CAS?
I probably should look into that, but I originally made this blog just for fun to make fun of IB and commiserate with other IB students. Thank you for that reminder as I need more Creativity hours. We can only hope...

I don't understand. You dont use a laptop? Wait where do you write you ee then?
Despite having access to 3 laptops, I prefer to use a desktop computer. Perhaps I am a bit old-school (haha, a terrible pun) in my computer choices, but my EE has still been completed after many grueling (well maybe it wasn't that bad) hours and days.

Should i buy a school laptop for ib? And if yes what laptop do you recommend? Thanks for the help :)
I'm not really sure about this one. I myself do not have a laptop and we rarely use the school computers. If you want to get one, make sure that you think that it will be beneficial to your IB experience and that you believe that you will want that same computer type for the university (to save money). I would look into laptops that work with your home computer and printer, have decent storage space, and are laptops that you would like to spend IB with.I am sorry that I am not overly helpful in this area if IB, but unfortunately I have no experience in it.
