tbh i just feel bad for him. like im sure that hes really happy about getting that atar, but it has to be hard to make friends with 18 year olds when youre 15. at 15 you should be goofing around, not worrying about your atar. i know putting in the effort now is better than later, but 15 feels too early
what's that quote again -
if you think you're good at something, somewhere there's an asian kid who's better than you
or something along the lines of that
