    Any real-world 'smart' people feel really inferior on BOS?

    omg it seems like every third person here does 4 unit and they're all coming like 1st or =1st. I FEEL SO INTIMIDATED with my pathetic 3 unit results and my predicted pathetic high E3. :S

    Young Writers Showcase 14?!

    I kind of hoped until I looked at the stuff that's been previously selected. They probably wouldn't like my very linear short story at all. xD

    Young Writers Showcase 14?!

    That's what I heard too; sometimes they have a theme as well, preventing many more brilliant works from being selected.

    Genuine Freak Out

    No they are not. Since when were all-nighters the answer to anything ever (with the exception of EE2 major works xD). No but in all seriousness, if you study efficiently you shouldn't have to sacrifice any sleep.

    Not entirely sure, but what my Adv teacher has been saying for a while is that since this is the last year of AOS belonging and they haven't asked for 2 texts in a while... they might as well do it now. Idk man.
