I was really hoping to do the summer animation jam and help dev a game, but:

• I need to work on my art portfolio for college, and that includes a lot of practice on shapes and hands. Back to the basics stuff. I'm going to do less pixel art.
• I'm doing precalculus during the summer and the course is 5 weeks, so I need to work hard. It goes for an actual grade, and if I don't pass with a B or higher, I won't get into AP Calculus. And no AP Calculus means no AP Physics.
• I need to work a lot on my Japanese so I can hope to get into AP Japanese.
• I'm earning volunteer hours, as my school requires you to get a certain amount to graduate, and to get into a good college, I'm going to have to do even more.

Unfortunately, studies come first. As a high school student today, college is a must. I'm still tentative on careers, but I strongly want to do engineering, physics, math, architecture, or animation. All these paths require a lot of work in my math and art. And, especially as a student in 2021, you need to have an outstanding resume to even get your foot in the door. I've been very worried because my GPA last year was not a 4.0, I have only two extracurriculars, art and violin, and in that I'm not even a first violin and I don't have professional art training. There are people I know who have 4.5!!! People who have been doing like 5 extracurriculars since they were fricking toddlers!!! You have to load up on APs, do like 10 extracurriculars, and save the world or some shit now to even get a chance at the good UCs. Your art portfolio needs to be immaculate. Not to mention all the exams I will have to take to get into college abroad. And forget about Asian parent pressure! I'll still pop in from time to time on the site, but I won't be posting art. Maybe a sketch or a WIP, but that's it.
