Are Universities more considerate of your High School grades or College grades?
Back in middle school, I was that kid whose entire personality was basically just my 4.0 GPA. But when I hit high school, life decided to give me a surprise 'promotion' to Chief Sibling Officer for my two younger brothers. If you’ve ever tried to negotiate with a 2-year-old or a 5-year-old, you know they’re basically tiny, adorable dictators who couldn't care less about my chemistry study schedule. My transcript has shifted to 3 A’s and 4 B’s lately, mostly because my evenings are spent de-escalating juice-box crises and handling nap-time protests instead of perfecting my notes. I’m really trying to get my 4.0 mojo back, but I’m a little stressed. Do admissions officers actually see "not letting my brothers burn the house down" as a real responsibility, or do they only care about the numbers? And honestly, once I finally get to college, does my high school GPA follow me around like a ghost, or do I actually get a fresh start? P.S I promise I wasn't slacking; I was just busy being a professional mediator and activities coordinator. If you've ever tried to explain to a toddler why they can't eat the dog's food while simultaneously finishing a history essay, you’ll understand why I ended up with a few B’s. I essentially traded a perfect GPA for "Senior-Level Sibling Management" skills.

What courses should I take in College and High School if I'm preparing to start a business?
I'm a sophomore in high school, and I'm contemplating what I should take in high school and college to prepare myself to start a business. I won't state what my business will be, but it's a one-stop shop for all things green to help make it easy for brands to be eco-friendly, and to make it even easier for customers to shop with total peace of mind. It's a new idea that's popped into my head, something that I'm passionate about, given my mom's constant regulations on what I put in my body. Any advice as to how to start and what classes to take?
What should I do to start a part-time acting career that will hopefully grow into a full-time acting career?
I want to pursue a career in acting, but I'm not sure how to start. I'm 16 and in high school, so I'm quite limited in independence given that I have many responsibilities. (I feel that that load may lighten once I turn 18) I want to pursue acting as a bit of a side career just because I know it is a bit risky putting all your time and money into a career that isn't exactly stable. By that I mean it's a come and go situation where you're not always guaranteed to get casted. However, I think it would make an excellent side hustle especially for right now in my adolescence when I'm trying to get something easily accessible. With all that being said, my overall question is just what to do as of right now. Should I start acting school now, so that by the time I turn 18, I can have the experience and time leniency? What is my plan looking like?
What career paths naturally fit a combination of Psychology + TV & Cinema / Media?
Hi, I’m currently in Class 10 (India) and I want to plan my career thoughtfully instead of choosing something randomly. After 10th, I plan to take Arts in 11–12, with Psychology as my main subject. along with that I will also be starting UGC (user generated content) and personal social media account. I’m deeply interested in: understanding people and behaviour communication and storytelling media, visuals, and how content affects emotions and decisions I’m considering Psychology as my major and TV & Cinema / Media Studies as a minor for my bachelor’s degree. I enjoy being creative, explaining ideas, working with people, and observing how audiences react to stories, content, or messages. I’m less interested in coding, heavy maths, or purely technical roles. I’m disciplined, comfortable expressing myself, and willing to build skills early through internships, certifications, and real-world experience alongside my studies. My questions are: What career paths naturally fit a combination of Psychology + TV & Cinema / Media? What kind of roles or industries should I explore that use both human understanding and creativity? What should I focus on during 11–12 to make the most of this background later? I’m open to suggestions and would really value insights from people with experience in these fields. Thank you for your guidance.
