1252Hello RAM nation! AISG’s confidants Punya and Jiwon now offer the student body a full-time service, giving advice free of charge. We accept any and all questions which can be posted on the comments area under the page. We will choose the questions which we can answer and questions can be anonymous or attributed to their author—it’s up to you. All questions will receive answers from both advisors (so there will be multiple perspectives and both gender opinions). Lastly, this page is supposed to be humorous and helpful as well as interesting so sit back and enjoy! You may note a serious lack of genuine advice-seeking questions in those listed below—this is a problem that YOU can change! Ask us a real question; we’ll give you a real answer.

Q. How do we get Nik to stop watching NBA videos during journalism?
Let me start with the short answer – it’s impossible. If you assign a lot of work to him, he will do his work out of class and still watch videos during the period. Anything other than studying is always funnier and more interesting during class, duh. Oh, and if we destroy all computers in this school he might bring basketball magazines to read.
Give him work, or find a way to crush his love for NBA (highly unlikely and quite sadistic i believe) . Play his favorite movie (August Rush) to cause further distractions.
Q. If you stare at someone long enough will they fall in love with you ?
i wholeheartedly believe this can be done. I mean its been my strategy forever ( what else do we use The Force for? ). The confusing part of this strategy is when the person you are staring at looks back you do not know wether he/she thinks you are a potato or not. Nonetheless i think it will work.

Q. How do I pass high school?
I don’t think the person who’s asking this actually needs extra help to graduate high school, but I’ll try to answer this sincerely. If you get the 25 credits you need to graduate, in other words if you the school would be happy to never see you again.
But if you are literally in the situation where you are getting two Fs and on the verge of repeating a year, you should probably start talking to your teachers. Teachers can tell you what to do. Stop complaining that your teacher doesn’t do anything for you, but think of the time you invest on those subjects outside of class. If that still doesn’t work, talk to your counsellor and ask for help.
Seriously, no one can get Fs when they tried their best. If you try by asking for help from your teachers or counsellor, you might not get straight As, but at least get done with high school.
Passing high school (as in just graduation) requires 25 credits. Passing high school with a 3.5 gpa and above is a whole other matter in itself. I think the point is to do your best – and if that really is not enough…. get out of the IBDP program? so at least you can get a normal American diploma which allows you to still go to a university somewhere.
Q. What is the secret to having a perfect score in IB?
Are you sure you want a perfect score in IB?
Ask Dylan Galt.
Q. What do you do when someone doesn’t text you back?
Go to sleep.
Step 1 .) If you want to save your ego just send a second text saying “oops wrong number”
Step 2.) Listen to angry music that reminds you that you can do better.
Step 3.) Go to sleep and refrain from breaking your phone in anticipation for a receiving text.
Step 4.) Remember that there is a special place in the underworld for people who ignore text messages.
Q. What do you do when you have nothing to do on the weekend?
Go to sleep.
You never have nothing to do on the weekend in high school. In extreme unique cases you could egg your neighbour’s car?
Q. Is it possible to have good grades and sufficient sleep?
Jiwon : It is all a matter of what you define as good or sufficient. Some people could say four hours of sleep a day is enough and some could say that Ds are good grades. If you mean sleeping 4 hours everyday and getting an average of C-minus, it wouldn’t require much work. If you mean sleeping 10 hours a day and maintaining an average of a solid A, it would be close to impossible.
But, if you mean 7 hours of sleep everyday and a solid A, what matters the most with the plausibility is the rate of concentration and getting things done. High school programmes are designed to be manageable and the handbook says even IB classes are not supposed to give homework more than 60 minutes per block. Most people take six classes excluding electives/CAS, and that would mean the maximum amount of homework you can have per day is 3 hours, technically. Suppose you come back home at 6 o’clock and finish dinner half an hour later; it would still be 9:30 once you are done with your homework.
Listen in class and don’t procrastinate. Sleep well and get good grades.
Sure, as long as you do not succumb to the art of procrastination i think everything will be okay.
