oh my gosh i thought i was failing the benchmark but it turns out the national 3 year average for the psat was 883 and my school’s was 894. i got a 990, it’s not great for a regular sat but knowing the statistics actually does make me feel a lot better and more confident than i originally was
i think i just felt very behind because I don’t know geometry and everyone else in my class does. i was planning on doubling up my math classes next year so i can catch up and also study for the sat so i can get a better score, i was hoping to aim for 1300-1400 ideally but that’s with a lot of dedicated practice -
the great thing is reading and writing is really easy and im already past that benchmark, math is what really gets me
but of course i still need to work on both, im just going to prioritize math for a while -
im on the fence for college. i would love to go to an art college but i told myself i’d hold off on it unless i get a really good scholarship that i can be sure would cover most of my college tuition after saving for the rest

im a very creatively oriented person, i love art, music, writing, and im very curious for sciences that can combine creative fields like computer science and neuroscience, but i feel like i’d burn myself out if i just went for a stem field since there’s not much creativity in them. unless you’re studying something like neuroaesthetics or art therapy, then it could be awesome
-
neuroaesthetics is such a cool concept. it’s so interesting how our brains portray art differently. more logic-driven people prefer cleaner lines and contrasts, and more creative-oriented people prefer messier or abstract ideas. most people are the perfect balance of the two which is why we love polished, unique ideas. most of us love the messy, the clean, but to different degrees by how our brains are wired and it’s just so amazing to think about

okay okay big note here, i’m going to actually study cellular respiration tomorrow and NOT procrastinate 😭😭 i meant to today but i found myself drawing all day instead of studying what i meant to. drawing is great but i need to moderate it a little more. drawing is fun but sometimes i need to target the hard things first before i’m allowed to have the fun stuff

im really excited for the sat next year, im going to prep so good. im going to try with the best of my ability to impress myself
-
i think there’s really no better feeling than being impressed with yourself. it’s what i always strive for, attention is nice sometimes but it’s not good to depend on. that’s what i find a lot of people do and that’s what i used to do. it’s this trap where we base anything we do off of what impresses other people. this does tune into our instincts but the cool thing about it is that it’s all old news. instead of impressing other people, it’s better to aim to impress yourself, to do what makes you happy, and to do what fulfills yourself. i find people base the idea of success off other people’s standards. the amount of money a person has, talents, fame, all of this stuff that doesn’t really matter but for attention
instead of defining success on other peoples terms, why don’t we define it on our own terms? impress ourselves? what makes us happy? -
what makes me happy is a goal that can’t ever be reached but who’s milestones can be reached, serving as a guide to others, and the ravenous hunger to create
