Lyceum is back 🥹 so the academic pressure

Conquering the SAT/ACT does not guarantee you the spot at Top school.

Here's why. In 2019, the whole Earth, including US, had experienced immense negative impact of the Covid-19, or coronavirus. The virus impacted on the health of living beings, their occupation and income.

On socio-economic side, countries, companies within them, struggled to work at the office, and it was prohibited to do that in a traditional way to avert spreadness of the virus. Thus, companies made a decision to initiate remote (off-office) working system. They used LinkedIn as a tool to hire real people to work and accepted online CVs from all parts of the world. In that way, workforce and output companies possess and produce "survived".

In the same way, the danger coronavirus caused strongly affected admissions process of any school in the world, mostly to the US colleges. The process was divergent than that of 2017-18. Standardized tests, SAT or ACTs, became optional due to quarantine that force-closed the test centers and institutions, so the applicant to spot ratio (ASR) has been rising substantially. Admissions process became more furious. It started to delve into more moral, or personality, of the applicant.

To find out about it, they started to ask more essays other than personal statement. Writing essay about one's personality is hard, even if you have the complete idea. It should contain your growth and answer why and how questions. The idea of the essay may be cliché, but the way you deliver the message should be distinguishable. In other words, test scores does not guarantee the success in US admissions.

By the title, you should've understood by ardent feeling that you don't need to prepare for the test. However, the amount of scholarship school offers somewhat demands on this. All in all, mark my words: "If your choice of school does not require standard test, submit them if asked as a optional."

There will be more of Mountstorm notes that I intend to share)

Give me some space and will be back!

📚 Delve into Orwell's thought-provoking political fable, Animal Farm!

🐴 In just 96 pages, this book vividly portrays the power struggle between the working class and authority, reflecting the history of socialism through animal actions.

👎🏼 Pigs change the rules to suit themselves, echoing the suppression of liberty-seeking voices in history. A must-read that packs a punch!

💬 My evaluations:
Plot: 100/10
Characters: 10/10
Setting: 9/10
Favorite line: “Serves you right” by neighbor farmer.

👨🏻‍🎨 Overall: 10 or higher.

⚡️ Thanks for reading (Even you didn't).

Reflect on your life now, until you lose decades)

“I was born on the dry land and felt comfort on the dry land – that was my original
endowment. I grew up with the water and felt comfort in the water – that became my nature.
I’m not aware what I do but I do it – that’s fate.”

Think

🎭 Which is worse: saving all you know for yourself or giving all you have to people?

🗿 Greed or 🍾 openness to share

Welp, I have just finished my Calculus midterm. Feeling relieved, here I write this message, a total jumble of ideas.

I would always argue that programming was crafting lines of symbols that perform some algorithmic job, that I don’t know how contributes to personal satisfaction, but to the wallet. Well, amazing philosophizing Murad, but you are a CS major.

This is how I was never able to justify CS, even though I “loved” programming. But I didn’t realize how the same argument can stand against any other job. Law? spending life to study rules written by the dead. CS? A scramble of symbols that do not have any significant value alone. Trade, Econ, Finance? Knowledge of sinking deeper in the capitalistic society. Philosophy? Waste of time.

It is we who create value in things weird or queer as football — chase of a ball. I did not mean to offend anybody, if I were to offend, it would be first myself, mentioning my own interests. I claim that people create meaning in things themselves, and that is alright.

Gandhi against Modern Civilization

Gandhi's philosophical book delves into the drawbacks of certain modern-day commodities compared to those of the past. By providing examples, he highlights the negative aspects of convenience-focused modern civilization. One particular idea stood out to me in his writing.

Gandhi suggests that the ease and convenience of modern life have made individuals lethargic. For instance, ordering food and having it delivered within 30 minutes is now possible, whereas in the past, finding and preparing food required effort and skills like hunting and cooking over an open fire.

I concur with Gandhi's disapproval of consumerism. The increased reliance on assistants and other conveniences to enhance our lives can be perceived as a downside of societal progress.

Why we, as individuals, don't improve?

Everyone notices that cocky guy who has mastered the test and cracks every time. Their brilliance appears as if he is solving unsolvable to us, fascinated fellas. If you talk to that guy, he is not creating something "Wow" but uses simple steps to achieve that.

That unbreakable confidence and mastery come from doing simple things. First of all, they love taking risks. No matter the outcome, they always learn at least one lesson from that risk. All in all, they are courageous fellas.

Secondly, they know what to do. This might be obvious. However, it is not about having a ready-use plan for any situation. Sometimes, even hackers don't have plans for certain prey. Instead, how they think matters in their business. They don't create task lists for the next 30 days. They identify which task is more vital or less, let it be three to four tasks in one day. There is no need to plan, but there is a need to prioritize things that matter. These are the ingredients of success "plov."

If we return to our question: why don't we improve? As some people start taking risks or will, their coward side pops up, telling them not to waste money, or they are too young for this, or what if they die. It only prevents you from the excitement that mental or physical challenge gives. Cowardness is why we fall over.

The second ingredient is to know what to do. That is a broad topic. However, prioritizing is part of it. If you prioritize well, only things matter, and you will achieve your goals. If you don't, enjoy your teenage years' wasted and diminished future. I prefer doing things that have significance to me, my job, and my family. Based on my experience, I fell apart getting As in exams. I didn't prioritize what I needed at that specific moment. Eventually, I got my C- from physics.

You don't have to be a genius to improve. Appear knowledgeable and confident.
