Hello all,

Back by my update, The Lee's News!! (That is my introduction)

I hope everybody is alright. While I am gone, here is what is going on in my college. I won't go too much details about this, but I am here to share out my experiences.

How did it go?

Thanks for asking! My first week of college is going very well. Firstly, I get to meet up new professors from different departments, and they are very nice! I get to take an advanced math course (Linear Algebra and Differential Equations), computer science, writing, and music courses!

While my courses are very good, the problem is... lots of assignments (not joking!). Unlike those in high school, they are much intense, and I had to finish them early without procrastinating so that I will have plenty of time to relax. Also, I received a lot of notifications regarding about my classes and had to schedule important meetings. It's so stressful!

How do you deal with stress?

I had that question that struck me into my mind, but I hadn't had a clear thought about that question. But in here, I considered writing down my plan and managing my time usage.

Don't get me wrong; everyday is not a vacation day. In fact, I endure and discipline myself by focusing onto my academics as well as my majors that I am pursuing. I studied mathematics and computer science more than playing video games before my college starts. After getting enough resources to study and use in class, I am pretty much prepared! :D

What else?

I didn't know that there was an update recently. I was heavily focused onto my college works and didn't have time to look over.

Extras:

I find a math problem that is so meaningful to me:

From dy/dx = x + y, what is the equation of y when it passes from (0, 1)? (I will give an answer tomorrow; good luck finding it!).

To reiterate, I hope that everyone is alright!

UPDATE (ON AUGUST 16TH, 2020)

My college will start tomorrow. Don't expect this is easy. I do write my own diary in order to keep on track so that I can share out my experience.

My experience for 1-5 days before college starts:

Waking up early is so hard. I had trouble waking up early, and even if I turned off my alarm, I fall asleep later on. When it comes to taking classes, I use my plan very seriously. I also use my calendar to keep important dates.

What concerned me the most is getting distracted. Once I am playing games, it easily take away my focus. I have to practice piano for a minimum of 2-3 hours. Even if I am majoring in piano performance, I still have to take important classes, not just music classes.

Plagiarism in all universities is an extremely serious issue. They take it extremely seriously, especially in minor changes. I am super aware about that, just like I am extremely serious about following the rules. Of course, one minor trouble can be dangerous (to be honest).

I also have to take a lot of surveys before my college starts in order to assess me. It was so long, and it's pretty annoying.

In my Aural Skills class, I need to keep a lot of files (not joking, a lot) to study and use it for class. No joke; they are important!

Math and computer science classes are taking the most of my time for study. In math, I have to basically finish a chapter within a week, and there are too many sections in each chapter. Computer science was foreign to me, and I want to make sure that I do not fall behind this class.

And no; having a wireless connection and computer problem is no longer an excuse for being tardy and failing to submit a homework in time. It really hurts.

I don't want to happen just like my older brother. When he was a freshman undergraduate, he had troubles staying on class and he kept switching majors. I want to avoid the mistakes.

My college will start tomorrow, and good luck!

Now my college will start, and of course this is going to be a beginning of my new chapter. I finally finished my high school and everything went very well (until my 2nd semester of my senior year because of the pandemic).

What will happen right now?

Due to a lot of works and intense focus onto my college majors, I need to take an extended time for break in playing Java and Bedrock Mineplex. I know that is sad, but college is my main priority and I cannot focus too much onto games. Also, I need to mature myself and develop my self control because if I focus too much onto games, I am not matured.

I am not a teenager anymore. I know that is sad because back then I was enjoying my life since when I was young. Also, I officially joined here about a year and two months, and I appreciate those who have treated me with kindness and respect during Java, Bedrock, and the forums. To add onto that, you guys are very helpful and I know that I couldn't survive without your help!

I can still see and participate the forums. In fact, the forums make me interested, especially the new ideas proposed by the players! I can also post my updates (usually every month) in my profile page.

FINAL NOTES

I want to thank everyone (including staffs) for helping me. I can't say anything but "thank you." I will say the words to them:

@Vytas - you are really good at the help section. Thank you for being my friend in Java Mineplex, and I was surprised that you became a staff!

@Arjun - Thank you for helping me about posting something that should stick to the rules. At that point, I was scared because I am extremely cautious of what I am doing.

@ScarletBlood37 - you are really helpful in Bedrock. Since the beginning, it was different compared to Java, but I am liking it!

@jacvb - it was fun playing against you in cake wars standards. That game was intense!

Thank you everyone!

Me playing Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody 6!

It is so hard!!

I finally placed in 1st in top 100 daily wins. And yes, I am using Badlion Client and it wasn't easy to be 1st in top 100 daily wins.

Credit to everyone!!

Do you play with the cards? If so, what deck do you use? When I was into Pokémon I was going to build the Rayquaza deck, being my fav Pokémon and a deck that can get pretty charged. I built it in an online game, but never bought the cards. Thinking of building it though \o/

My Pokemon team:

Aegislash
Goodra
Toxapex
Volcarona
Metagross
Noivern

Fight me if you dare! :o

Look at me go in bedrock: Getting close to level 40! If possible, I can reach level 50 and higher!

Bedrock was different than Java: the PvP changed. I was using my computer to play in bedrock. Around more than 5 months ago, I played Bedrock, but at March, I decided to focus on Java because I wanted to get better at cake wars. Also, I had changed my username. At beginning, I was afraid to change it, but I am alright! Yet, I still have to strictly follow the rules, especially when you are doing simple actions.

Now you might be questioning, "why am I not playing Java very often?" At June, my computer couldn't load after I turned off. All my files were on my computer for important college works, and it's horrible: I couldn't recover my files! So I borrowed my dad's computer, and it was faster than mines. The problem is that he also need to use it, and it's really awkward! Also, I was worried about false GWEN bans (I do not want to go too much details on this).

If you look at my post at June 22nd, 2020, you can tell that I am getting more matured, and I have to take it seriously. This can explain why I was seeking help, mostly because of the rules and the problems. Even one violation that I know can be a disaster. I don't mean to be offensive, but I tend to forget, and it was not the right thing to do. To create an analogy, in my high school, when we are trying to memorize, we have to reread the facts, rules, and the formulas that my teacher gave, and if we were slightly off (inaccurate), we have to do it again! To compare this, I have to reread the rules a lot. I know that it's annoying, but in my perspective, it is very important and it's easy to forget. Thank you so much!

I find myself meaningful, and to add onto that, thank you for 13 followers! Let's hope that we can make 500 likes! :)

So I finally changed my cover, and believe it or not, I have not changed it for a year and a month!

150 posts!

This month is getting so stressful. But it's better than last month because I sent many emails to my teachers to say "thank you" for not only helping me get better at subjects, but also how to become a better person. Now I have to prepare my high school graduation, but it will be virtual.

Now from my experience, everything is changing. With some changes in my mindset, I become a better person. I want to better myself in piano because while I am outstanding in mastering the techniques, the only problem was singing the melody, yet I am working on it.

For those you probably notice, I also play Bedrock Mineplex. While it is different than that in Java, I still enjoyed it. Though I have fewer friends, I wanted to become higher than level 50 (if possible I can reach to level 100, but it may take so long because college works are top priority).

It's sad that some players are changing (I will not go too much details on this). In fact, I remembered them because they are very helpful to me, and I also get to hang out with them sometimes.

I will probably not be online for that long (though I do not know), but I will try to keep myself consistent. The next month will be my new chapter of my life.

ummmmmmmmm

omg your 18 i didnt know :o

UPDATE:

It was a fun experience in Mineplex. At beginning, I was so scared and cautious. I didn't have that many friends before, and I wasn't that good at the beginning. Also, I didn't know about certain commands because they were foreign to me, and I was jealous at the beginning (mostly because I did not have a rank).

At my 18th birthday, I really wanted to have an eternal rank because most of my friends have it (of course). But I was hesitant because I was questioning about the rank and the purchase, and I was aware about the rules and the terms and agreements. Plus, I did not want to violate the rules.

At beginning of January 2020, I finally got an eternal rank. It was so fun, and I didn't know that I can create an MPS. I also have more friends than before, and it was a very fun experience.

But at February-March 2020, I was interested about the immortal rank. Previously I saw negative reviews, but I didn't care about that and decided to purchase it for 3 month sub.

However, I was very dumb because I didn't know it was an automatic payment, so I cancel it and my immortal rank will end at September 2020.

But this June makes me change a lot. Firstly, I need to prepare going to my 1st year of undergrad in a university. It is not an easy thing to do, and I have to meet new friends. Secondly, because of the problem outside, I need to figure out how to enjoy without electronics. And lastly, I need to practice piano A LOT because I am doing a piano performance major.

Anyways, thank you for supporting me from my 1st year of Mineplex Experience. I greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much!!

Actually guys, my immortal rank will extend 3 more months; I was confused about that until then :O

Do you enjoy the game?

Nice profile picture!

UPDATE:

I now changed my profile picture to Greninja (pokemon). It's around 11 months that I haven't changed my profile picture, so I hope you like it! :)
