Jake Silove’s Chemistry lecture in 2016 was my first intro to ATARNotes and he looks like Justin Trudeau ;D

Bump! Lots of new users. Sometimes I look at usernames and think, "what's the story behind that?"

Have at it. ;D

I love cats (and other animals, but cats in this example). Cats have whiskers. 'Whisker' was already a taken username on many sites, so I resorted to whysker. Sounds weird when I think about it, so now I'm whys :)

I've thought about changing it in the past, but I guess it kinda just stuck.

What're the odds, huh? ;D

As you can probably tell by my username, I'm a Pokemon fan :), but there's a bit more to the story. I was hooked on playing this online battle simulator around the time I made this account, and I kept having to make new accounts on the simulator because I kept forgetting the password (why the remember password feature is my bestie and I always have to reset 25 passwords every time I accidentally reset my cookies.) The usernames used to constitute of [adjective]_[pokemon name], and at the time, it was fun_jirachi, which I incidentally use for a few other things now.

Oooft well mine is kinda sad I guess ahhaa. It was the day before one of my accounting sacs and I was freaking out because I had done literally no study and my motivation levels were dropping throughout the year to the point where I basically gave up on all my subjects. So I still remember the night before the sac at around 11:30pm I created this account and made a post (which I have since deleted due to embarrassment/the amount I cringed when I read it back) where I basically ranted about how I needed motivation to study and I couldn't find any.
