So recently, ive been cubing in my school's cafeteria and i had these questions asked to me,

"Do you have a life? Isn't your average going to go down considering you spend soooo much time with the cube? Do you have a life? Do you only solve the cube?"

These people, believe it or not, were completely serious. They look at solving a rubik's cube as a "genius" trait. Well, yes, it does require brain power to actually do the cube, but really, does it make you look like you have no life if you can solve a rubik's cube?

My question is, what are you averages (academics) even though you are really into cubing.
 
im about the same. 90-ish. most are higher. a few are lower.
a lot of people think im a nerd and have no life. its sort of true.. but u wont see many other nerds who do 40 lb bicep wrkouts :D

LMFAO TRUE SAY


and also, do you guys find cubing as a metal workout? any benefits to cubing for you guys?
 
I find those questions funny. Back when I started I was in high school. No one in high school asked me, but strangers I saw elsewhere often did. I found it funny that I was able to cube, graduate top of my class, be part of many, many, many clubs and school activities, and still have time to work on all my hobbies, with time to spare. When someone asks that question, just say "no".

"Do you have a life?"
-"No"

I find that inspiring how you are still able to come out of High school at the top. What was your average if you dont mind me asking.
 
hmmmm, well I always had quite a few friends before cubing (not nerdy), I do get asked the question " do you have a life" although it is not eniterly serious because I'm hanging out with them most of the time. For my average I stay around a 90 some few some less
 
A and Bs, but about a 4.2 weighted GPA due to pre-IB. I wish I could graduate top of my class, but I know EXACTLY who will. Because he actually enjoys studying enough to make it his #1 activity at home.

I have only had one person make any comment remotely close to "Do you have no life", and it was this way red-necky dude who said it because his gf was there.
 
18 seconds

Edit:
It was over 95% last year. This year, I'm taking 2 classes more than everyone else; 9 in total, studying for SAT, doing extra project, etc., so It's maybe 90-95%. Weighted is always over 100, but that doesn't really matter.

"you have waaaay too much spare time" is commonly said as well, and they are serious when they say that. :\ But who cares what they say, they are clearly just jealous. :D

oh and I had a ~93% average last semester :)

We don't use percentage averages in some of our classes here, many run on a 0-12 scale, 12 being A+, 11 being A, and so on. But every class has its own system, so there's no universal percentage average, just GPA. Mine is somewhere around 4.15, 4.33 being an A+ average.
 
94-97% Usually, except when I'm in an easy class like this year. Normal English, 101%

Like IamWEB said, I'm a freshmen and I still don't really feel like a highschooler.

As for the "Do you have a life?" question, I respond with

"No, no I don't. You're imagining me. I'm a figment of your imagination."

LOL @ 18 seconds

anyway its good to hear you guys are still keeping up with academics even though you all cube. :)



lets change it up a bit:

What are you'r post secondary options?

Still plan on cubing even after that?!
 
Last semester I got a 92 average. Did great in Math, Science, and Computer Engineering, did bad in English. Easy to see what I'm good at. I just started a new semester this week, and I'll do good in Math again, probably do decent in Drama, do okay in History, and do decent in Careers and Civics. I had a way easier first semester in terms of marks I think.

Post-secondary it's expected of me to go to university, and I plan to do so (I want to go anyway). I also plan to keep on cubing as long as it's fun.
 
I am a high school senior and have a cumulative GPA of 3.95ish unweighted. I manage to pull that off while taking a few AP classes, having a job and still somehow finding time to have a slight social life. Mostly I just socialize at school, which is where I am actually teaching two of my friends how to cube :D. Of course I'm not really fast yet, only averaging about 35 sec times but hey at least I can get everything done and still find time for hobbies.
