Teenage cubers discussion

[WACWCA]

Something like June 20 to September 4?
I'm home schooled, so we usually match the public school district's dates.

What is homeschooling like

Also what cubing stuff are you planning this summer?
Nats is pretty early in it for me, so I'm going to keep practicing 2x2 and hope to podium, I'm mainly excited to just have some time to make some alg sets for 2x2

Nats hype!! Hoping for a Pyraminx podium and a bunch of PBs.

If all goes well, I should be organizing a competition this summer (post-Nats). There's stuff in the works, but nothing's concrete yet.

I'm looking forward to 2 comps early in the summer.

Otherwise, I'm gonna learn a bunch of algs and stuff

I would assume that it's like lots and lots of homework without any no classroom time.
What's not homeschooling like? I assume that you aren't since you asked

Learning ZBLL mostly. Going to practice 3x3, OH, Feet, Megaminx and maybe (M)BLD.
I don't have any comps soon, and I'm not going to nats even though it's really close.

Pretty bland at times, but it can be fun if it's done right. The worst part is sitting in a room for 60+ minutes being lectured at about a subject you don't care about. The best parts are the social aspects and the classes that you enjoy or know will be useful in your future (in my case, computer science, calc, and Spanish).

Hi guys,

I have a competition in June that I have organized and am hoping to be top-5 in pyraminx and maybe 2x2. I am hoping after that to organize one every 3-4 months since there are not many where I am.

 

[Jtcubing]

Eyyyy, so I guess this is a bit of an age reveal for me. Although I hope nobody thought I was younger than 13... or older than 19, for that matter. The best part of comps has to be hanging out with friends. So dang fun.

Im going to my first comp ina couple of weeks. What should i expect

In the US or somewhere else because different regions do it differently.

Speedcubers are generally very nice, even the top popular solvers and you tubers are quite nice to everyone, as long as you are not overstepping their boundaries. There are usually quite a few other new competitors, so it might be a good idea to try to make friends with those around your speed so you can race and improve together, but you can also just sit at any spot you want and you are sure to make friends

If that's what you're worrying about, don't. As @WACWCA said, there are hardly any speedcubers who would intentionally exclude people based on elitism garbage or because you're new; "fast" (loosely speaking) people and big YT cubers jerks either.

I've been practicing all year for a comp that will probably be in the summer but hasn't even been announced yet...

But yeah my summer vacation mostly in practicing and preparing for chess competitions

 

[uyneb2000]

Woah this is a thing? Might as well post here.

Junior in high school, getting pooped on by IB diploma Anyone else feeling like junior year is the most hectic?

Looking forward to competing and staffing at Nationals, and doing the same at the NW Champs! Hopefully I can get NW champ for 2x2, 3x3, Pyra, and Squan (maybe Skewb if I wanna get the trifecta of dumb events, but I don't do Skewb).

You just do whatever your mom/tutor tells you to and hope she forgets to tell you to do something.
