Sounds like more of an ELO thing. Maybe counter pick with someone who has a silence? (Cho/Garen)

Garen is a really hard matchup for Riven. Riven has the lowest hp/10 in the game and Garen's passive gives him one of, if not the highest hp regens in the game apart from mundo ult. A silence will force Riven to back off/will forget up her combo and will silence her until her Q goes back on cooldown, greatly reducing her trading power. That, and the fact that Garen gets bonus resists from his W active and passive and he has a pretty high health/level make Garen really super annoying for me when I play Riven. Cho is a little easier to face because outside of his silence, he's VERY easy to duel. He has no mobility and is very squishy early on, which makes it very easy to kill him early, and as you know, a riven with a couple early kills can snowball into an unstoppable monster.

Thanks McJob, I'll try those things. The tricky thing is that I'm doing my homework on the internet, it's a research paper.

There are chrome extensions to temporarily block distracting websites while you do work. I forget the names of them though.

Will someone give me tips on how to focus and keep out distractions? I've been procrastinating my homework for a few hours and I have lots to do.

Don't play games or go on the internet until you're done with your work. Once you start doing either it's hard to make yourself stop and do work.

I only applied for one school which was the state university that's 15 minutes from where I live. Mostly because they offered me a full tuition scholarship off the bat so why bother. But one thing I noticed is the requirements for a lot of private schools aren't harder than state schools and often the same. But the price is about 6 times as much. So unless there is something that sets that particular school apart I would really suggest looking at state schools. Also for most STEM fields state schools have tons of scholarships available, at least from what I've seen

Yeah, the only thing I don't like about state universities is the size in terms of students, so I've been looking at medium-small schools. Money is a secondary concern really

Honestly, the rivalry is one of the reasons I want to go. They offer the major I'm interested in, though, so that's the primary reason.

I want to study political science as my major, so their program is pretty good for that as well. Honestly it's still a stretch school for me, so I'll probably end up at Sacred Heart. Not complaining tho, Sacred Heart has really nice facilities and good professors. Only thing that sucks is that freshman aren't allowed to have a car on campus, but they offer shuttles to anywhere I'd want to go anyways.

As someone who has an extreme interest in attending MIT, what did you think of the campus?

I thought it was really nice. It's a stretch school for me, so I don't know about my chances of getting in, but it was pretty cool. The MIT-Caltech rivalry was pretty hilarious to hear about, too. The only thing that put me off of MIT was that it was a little bigger than I would've liked (11,000 students)

So, yesterday, your pal Holly finished her last college tour. I've seen about 8 schools that are schools I'd most likely be able to get in to, and a couple of stretch schools. My top 3 non-stretch schools are Bentley University, Sacred Heart University, and Gettysburg College, and my stretch schools are MIT and Yale, and UCONN is just my "safe" choice. Of the schools I saw, I liked Sacred Heart the best, the campus was clean, professors I met were all really nice, and I really liked the overall feel of the school. It's also within 3 hours of my home, so traveling home for breaks and such won't be too bad. I'm currently in the process of writing my common app essay, but based on SAT and GPA alone, I should get into Sacred Heart where I want to go.

My advice for younger forumers is to keep your grades up and go to school, because sophomore year, I barely went to school or did work and it made my gpa drop so far and it took me almost a year of 4.0 to get it back to a 3.2 cumulative for all of hs because of just one bad year and it was a huge pain in the ass, so yeah, go to class and do your work, or else it will come back to bite you in the ass eventually. Also try to have a good relationship with at least one teacher because you need a letter of recommendation and you want them to write really good things about you. Middle school doesn't really matter but use the time to get into good habits. Being organized will really save your ass. Spending 5 minutes to get your stuff in line will save you from spending 15 minutes later looking for stuff.

Also take notes on post it notes in your english books, it makes writing essays 10000 times easier

Discuss school and school related stuff.
