I'm.... uh... idk what to say tho. Seems like im a 'jack-of-all-trades', none professions and stuff. I'm currently in the 8th grade, next year would be IGCSE so i'm still kinda free at the moment

I didn't study at all in 8th grade. Actually I haven't studied much since 5th grade. I could probably count all the assignments I've done these 2 past years on my fingers. Does it really matter if you study so much now? I mean exams are all that matter. Actually even the current exams and tests are meaningless to me. I still get good grades but I never study. I just listen in class and then I can handle most of the tests. Only in the last year of highschool there will be some important exams. If I will want to get in a good university then perhaps 2 or 3 exams results will matter. This is the situation in my country, though. I don't really know much about other country's education system.

The post count will probably update later. Not sure though.

More or less same situation here, the college life here pretty much only teach you the most basic stuff on the subject you take which will be useful for the job you want later, but outside of that you have to take initiative and improvise by yourself.
Not like I actually study, lol. And I have a much, much better grade compared to high school and years before that.

Since I transferred to a private school, foreign language, my parents expect me to do my best for the year. I have to admit, I was a bit stubborn to have transferred, coz I had to fight the entire clan for it.

I'm half Chinese, so my father's clan expect me to live here, work here, graduate here, etc. When I mentioned my will during a family gathering, my grandfather passed out. After that, a few months of fighting followed, with lots of pain and anguish. Now half the family hates me lol.

I can't cook so asking my mom or grandmother to make me chicken everyday would be kinda awkward. For some reason I'm kinda embarrassed to tell them that I want to get gains and shit. I'll get my shit together some day and probably ask them to provide me with that much meals. I usually do chest, biceps, triceps and shoulders in 1 session. And I kinda do some certain exercises that would mostly benefit breakdance. Would I actually make progress by working out like that twice a week or I am just wasting my time by doing that? I googled and there are mixed feelings about that. I have 0 knowledge about this so point out some mistakes if there are any.

pullup bar would be great
you shouldnt be embarased, tell em- matter of fact, I just told my mom my new meal plan
atleast 3 times a week pls

Well I'll be in a similar situation when I'm going to announce that I'm taking a gap year after high school. My family already tried talking me out of it. I know that I'm wrong when it comes to education and it will be harder for me to start studying again but I really want to do something meaningful while I don't have responsibilities everyday. My family is probably going to give me shit everyday after that decision. Although my situation is most likely not as bad as yours. So I have no rights to complain, lol.

Btw any suggestions for an activity to kill time? Like art/karate/badminton etc. Mom said I'm gonna have to train a profession in case i need it while applying for IGCSE.

Pick one that you do enjoy investing time in, so you won't get bored and burned out easily.
Anything simple works, like sport, reading books, hearing music, as long as you enjoy it.
That's beside playing games of course. :3

Personally, I have loads of figures at home, it usually take a whole day for me to tend to most of it.

Pick something that you like the most. I can't really suggest something without knowing how dedicated you are about it and what are your preferences. For me it would be breakdancing. I go through a lot of pain and long hardships to learn something. It is all worth it at the end. Doing really difficult moves mostly feel even better than orgasms. Hard to describe the feeling, lol. I'm really competitive and I like doing stuff that other people are unable to so that is why I chose breakdancing. If you don't feel the same way pick something that will satisfy you in a different way and that doesn't require a lot of time. That is my only suggestion. Tell me what you like and perhaps I can suggest something more direct.

This reminds me all of the times when I have bought protein shakes and put them in refrigerator just to remember about them when they have expired.
