The Midnight Readers discussion

Welp. Hi there.

:)))

How are you doing?

Are you okay?? I'm fine, just a bit overwhelmed by wanting to read so many books at once (I'm already reading 3).

Apparently, I didn't learn my lesson the first time since I'm doing it again. ;-;

Reading 3 books at once

Same except 5 XD

Oml guys... I have a math test today, but my teacher's internet is down, so we're supposed to take it by ourselves, I think at least someone is going to end up cheating >:(

Ahhhhh that sucks!! Good luck on your test :)

Oof we didn't have school the day we took a math test not too long ago (super smart of them to have the test on that day) and some of the kids definitely cheated, which sucks, but oh well

Awww oof.

Rant time (in a bad way) D:

I'm kind of mad, since my parents are stressing me out by asking what I want to be when I grow up, and one time I said that I wanted to be an author. They glare at me and say "Why?? You can have so many futures, you can be a rich doctor!" Me be like: smh
And at the back of my head, I've always wanted to be a child psychologist, but then again, only because I want to know what people go through and get ideas for writing (Though obviously, I want to do it to help people). Then, another time I tell them, "I want to be a child psychologist." Then they're like, "Why are you thinking about this now? Focus on getting good grades and see if you're even smart enough for that (which was extremely offensive).

So all in all, they're really stressing me out and I'm still in freaking 7th grade.

Thank you for reading my rant.

And yes, I fall under that asian parent, future doctor stereotype.

Yeah...

I'm sorry your parents are like that.

I hate when parents pressure you like that. do I look like I know what I want to be when I grow up? they want me to be a scientist but I hate science.

Right, I don’t even know what I want to do tomorrow

Sorry, that sounds like it sucks

I feel you. Sorta the same for me except I'm about 2 years older

Don't worry too much though! Take it easy for now I guess.

that's awful, I'm sorry you have to deal with that

I really feel like crying, and I would, except my parents would get mad at me for not managing my time better once they figure out why. It's rant time.

what happened?

I already have so much stuff to do, and Goodreads is one of the only things that keeps me sane. I already stay up until 11 trying to finish homework, and now, there are school-based extracurricular Science Olympiad starting when I barely have enough time without it. To add on, it's even worse during this time, since teachers give more homework to make up for the time they missed out on. And I can't exactly quit any of my extracurriculars since my dad volunteered to coach a class, so I'm pretty much required to do it especially since I did so well last year. Also, I have honor band auditions coming up, so I'm even more stressed out since I got in last year but couldn't make it to the concert. It really sucked, since I am so passionate about music. I hate that I have so many things to do and I don't have any free time until around this time when I catch up on homework. I'm supposed to be doing it now, but I will probably start crying if I do now.
Sorry for ranting so much, I'm just super stressed out and I don't know what to do. I'm not even in high school yet, though I think it won't be as bad since I woun't have to do my Science Olympiad extracurricular.

Oh no...I hope you feel better! You can always talk to us if you need support or just someone to talk to.

Thank you so much... I can't really tell this to anyone else since my sister will probably think I'm just wasting my time.

oh I know how you feel, I'm so sorry it's the worst. I dont know what your parents are like but maybe you could ask them if you can back off on the extracurricular? also if you want to take a break from our buddy read that's totally fine. I wish I could help you more

No, I would like to continue the buddy read, I want to keep the things that I enjoy doing and makes me stay sane during all this depressing stuff.

ok :) I really hope you feel better

Thanks Holly :)

I literally started crying last night from so much stress. I'm still in 7th grade, so I don't have as much schoolwork, but now I have soooo many other things to do. I had 3 hours of classes after school, no break. But, virtual school ends at 2:30 and my classes were at 5:30, but I had a ton of homework. After the classes, I was DEAD tired and I wanted to sleep but noooo. I could never. I had to study for my science test and turn in my 5-page study guide. Let's just say I finished it because I have a great sister.

Now, THANK GOD, I have time to read. 😌

The only problem is, teachers, give the same amount of schoolwork every day, BUT here's the catch: Instead of having 2 days to finish and turn it in, everything's due the day it's given. Amazing right? 😭😭

To add on, today is Diwali, which is great,😄 but I had to wake up and wash my hair before dawn 😪

that's not cool, hopefully you'll get some rest over winter break?

oh enjoy the festival!

Thanks! The problem is, since we have less time to get everything done, they're cramming to finish the curriculum by the deadline... We also have thanksgiving break, so that's nice. I'd love to do some baking then.

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG
I CAN GET NEW BOOKS, BUT THEY HAVE TO BE LESS THAN 25 DOLLARS I NEED HELP

YAYY!! most paperbacks are like 10 to 15 dollars

Too many... 😅

lol ok, maybe pick a genre and narrow it down from there?

I've been wanting to read ToG, Radio Silence, Eliza and her Monsters... so many.

I don't know what I'll get, but honestly, it's definitely going to be something Sofia rated well 😂😂

well I'm biased but I really liked Eliza and her monsters and I know a couple other people in this group also love it

always trust Sofia

I know, right? I actually might get part of the Keeper of the Lost Cities series since I've been dying to get those too...

I went to the bookstore with my dad and he kept being like just choose one and i was freaking out because there are so many choices lol. also Nikki loves that series

Also others: The Cruel Prince, All the Light We Cannot See, or Such a Fun Age.
