Why Do I Hate Sixth Form So Much?


It’s silly how much I hate my sixth form. It’s at the same school I’ve been at for the last 5 years, which doesnt help because it’s mostly full of people I dont like and couldnt trust as far as I could throw. Im not sure if it’s the atmosphere that “I dont actually HAVE to be here”, that is making me so unmotivated and depressed that I actually am there.
So, some backstory. I’ve taken Maths, Physics, Economics and Modern History as my courses. I got straight As in my GCSEs, with one A* in History. I would like to go on and study history further, and hopefully take it up as a career, but from what I can gather it is very much a niche industry with few career opportunities. My parents basically demanded that I took either maths or english as an A-Level, which I suppose is fair enough as my only priorities where economics and history at the time of choosing. I hated them both but didnt find maths too difficult so I went with maths, thinking that such a subject would give me a good spread and open up more options. Oh, was I sorely mistaken. It’s the most ridiculously difficult thing I’ve ever attempted. As I said I hate maths anyway, so couple that with the fact that I have absolutely no desire whatsoever to use all these stupid equations and theorems at any single point beyond my A-levels means I literally cannot be arsed with it 1% of the time. The lessons just pass me by and go way over my head, I furiously scribble down formulae that are totally meaningless to me. I have a modular exam after the holidays, the thought of having to teach myself the whole thing through christmas makes me want to give up. I dont know why I never asked for help, maybe I thought it’d click eventually like everything at school has throughout my life, maybe it was because i was too damn embarassed to come clean and admit that I cannot understand the first thing about AS mathematics.
On to physics, well, I decided I should probably choose a science, for no other reason that it will look good on my CV. In both phsyics and biology I was only a few points off an A* so it was a tossup between the two, although I went with physics because I thought it’d accompany maths well. Again, BIG mistake. It’s just a million more equations that you have to memorise, and again, I have no desire to use these things ever again.
Economics and history are OK. But right now, halfway through my first year of college/6th form, I just feel like the next year and a half will be the hardest and most depressing of my life…But then, after that…UNIVERSITY. YIPPEE, more work, but guess what? DEBT. YAY. Dont get me started on what I imagine i’ll be doing for the following 40 years of my life, I just have no clue whatsoever, the outside world is just one huge scary monster I want to hide away from. I want no part of it. I’m not good enough at maths or physics to get a wellpaid job in science, I’d imagine that even if you’re good at economics (one of the best in my class) you’d need a good maths grade to get a job related to it, and history has few career opportunities. My parents (mother in particular) are really putting pressure on me to do anything other than history for this reason. I suspect they are simply protecting me from a bleak future of unreliable employment.
Anywaaay, like I said socially I have the appeal of a bumblebee to most people, and now my grades are failing. I just have no idea what to do. If I hear the words “work harder” again I think I’ll lose the will to live. I just dont know who to talk to and so I cry for help on the internet.

I just wanted some help im pretty sure they are the same except the first one has a prettier color to me but it might just be the lighting and also it is more expensive.

Does Victoria’s Secret Use Vanity Sizing?


For some reason I tend to think that Victoria’s secret lures their customers in through vanity sizing making women believe that their bra size is larger than it actually is.
I don’t shop there because I believe that its not worth paying $40 for a bra, but i decided to get measured for the hell of it.
Turns out the lady tells me that I am somewhere between a 32b and 32c, and that I can wear both depending on the bra.
Looking down at my chest, I don’t even look like a b cup! Nevertheless a C!
Personally, I think I look like a full A or very small B but most definitely not a C.
Is this some type of evil marketing ploy to get us to buy their $50 bras?

Did Facebook Change On The Lg Chocolate Touch?


i used to be able to access facebook on my lg chocolate touch and the page that would come up would just be status updates. there were no pictures nor was i able to see my whole facebook page as if i was on a computer but now, the whole page comes up! the reason why this concerns me is because i get charged per MB’s downloaded so the ENTIRE facebook page takes up a lot of space where as just the updates took up little space.
it gives an option tab to download the facebook mobile but it does not let me click it.
is anyone else going through this?
