Hey Fellow Labbys,
I know this is completely off-topic but I really need all your help on something. In about a month or so, on exactly September 8, I'll be having my varsity tennis tryouts for NYU. Although I've played Division A high school tennis for four years at Stuyvesant, my high school and was also a starter and the captain as well, I'm still rather nervous and doubting my abilities. My parents have given me the priveledge to have played tennis since I was four and was I was also given private lessons at the USTA, home of the US Open by some of the best tennis professionals. I was trained extremely well but Im still not confident for playing at the University Level. Playing at a university level is competing with people around the world which is why I'm so extremely nervous and just not able to focus on anything lately. Been Slashing a lot lately just to relax but doesn't seem to rid my worries. I haven't witnessed how players play at the Division 3 level and im quite scared. As for experience, I've been playing tournaments since I was little but haven't had a chance to continually play because of family business/affairs. Playing tournaments all over requires much travel time. For this reason, I don't have a recent tennis ranking which I can judge my abiliities and compare to others.
Hope this isn't too much to ask, but could you guys help me calm my worries. My parents are the greatest people I know but sometimes they don't know how to give the proper backing. The same goes for my older siblings.
Any success stories anything will do. I cant afford to not be confident at such a critical moment
Thank you all so much

Holy shit, you went to stuy too?
but anywhoo GL with tennis

On another note - I was talking to a fwe people on Vent yesterday (or earlier today depending on your time zone...)
and
Would anyone in the guild be interested in HC catacombs as a guild? After I get my guard setup, I can loan out my heavy arm sword set and my robe staff set to people to use.
so there would be two more people with mediocre gear, but my other set ups are pretty dope so i'm sure they can get us to MQ quickly enough
