    So school's back in for me, and I'm sure college is starting for some of us and I was wondering...

    How would you guys feel about a weekly LV Study group? Like, we could help each other do homework or study things while chatting on discord or posting in a thread we make for it and goof around. I think it would help us all get closer as a community while getting our work done together, but this is all just a quick thought I had. If you think it's a good idea, would you be in it? Could you tell other members about this so I can get some input? I'd really like to see if this thing would go somewhere. We'd make schedules for when to work of course and etc.

    ...I'll see!

    Sure, it sounds like a good idea. I've always had a bit of an issue motivating myself to work and find it way easier to work when people are working with me. I think most of my work will probably be done by myself (unless anybody else is studying economics at uni, in which case that's perfect :D), but I'd be happy to help others with their work.

    I love it!!!
    I'm very stubborn though and I prefer to study alone, but I'm a great teacher once I find out I'm better at something than someone else, and I end up guiding that person through all the way. I think I might be able to help you out, and who knows, maybe someone will cure my eternal stubborn-ness when it comes to taking advice and learning from peers :P
    also a chance to improve my English complicated terms list, there are still a lot of math translations I have to learn, just like physics, chemistry and biology

    I'll be looking forward to hearing more about it :D

    I'd be down. My capacity to help would probably be better geared towards helping others instead, though (I have found out that I actually can't study in a group because it's far too distracting), but that's certainly better than nothing. My schedule is a bit odd and even cluttered, but you can count me in as being interested for the endeavour.

    I'd dig it through the earth and probably end up in china

    I mean I won't be much help at all because I;m famed for sucking at uh everything but I can help out whereverI I can; I'm best in English Literature and... uh... that's it...

    But this has my full support because it's a really clever idea!

    I would love this! It sounds really helpful, especially considering I can't focus while doing homework lol.

    Glad to see you guys on board for this, it means a bunch<3 Please tell other members you think would be interested too!! So everyone is okay with meeting up on discord? I'd prefer for us to be in voice chat too but if you can only type, just keep your mic muted while you listen maybe? We can work something out. We have enough people now I'll get working on schedules and stuff.

    How about we all get an idea of our fields of weakness and strengths while I do? We can all help each other in any field though.

    My strengths: English, History, Biology. Foreign Languages (Chinese, Spanish).
    My weaknesses: Algebra, Some geometries, chemistry

    and tell me what times you're usually home from school/university or when you like to do your homework/studying.

    Thanks a bunch!!

    My strengths: Chemistry, Biology, English, Dutch, Geography
    My weaknesses: Latin, Physics, Math, PE

    The subjects listed in the weaknesses list are the only three I really struggle with. I'm not exceptionally good at Geography but I listed it in the strengths list anyway because it's not that hard.

    I usually study in the afternoon, because I want to keep my evenings free from activities so that I can relax then. Last year,it was already proven to me that I'll have to sacrifice time in my evening every once in a while anyway.
    I wouldn't mind doing it in the evening (my evening, timezone-wise) a couple of times though, or I could already get started on everything in the afternoon and save any questions I have for the study group in the evening.

    Anyway, we'll see :D

    This sounds like a neat idea! I think it would be great to utilize Discord and have a channel for this. Not sure if I'm good at vocally explaining things but I'd be glad to participate and study with everyone! Still not quite sure what my schedule is like, but I usually work on my studies during the evening/night if I didn't finish them at school.

    My strengths: English/Writing (I actually love revising essays lol), Biology (Anatomy), Health Education (PE too if you need fitness advice XD)
    My weaknesses: Calculus (never again >_>), Chemistry, History

    Discord works for me for the most part, though I have to carefully manage how often I'm on it, since it's so media-heavy, it can cause my browser to lag or even outright freeze. A voice chat might compound the issue though I'm not sure; sometimes I've had problems with it and other times I haven't - though right now I'm not up to actually hearing anybody's voice. Typing always works, and for me it's usually better because then I have a record of what was said.

    I'll put up my available times in British Summertime (BST); you can add or subtract for your own timezone accordingly.
    Sunday: 00:00-05:30 (sporadically); 21:00- (sporadically)
    Monday: 00:00-07:00; 20:00-20:40
    Tuesday: 03:30-06:00; 22:00-
    Wednesday: 00:00-07:00; 20:00-20:40
    Thursday: 03:30-06:00
    Friday: 00:00-01:30; 16:00-
    Saturday: 00:00-06:00; 20:30-

    Subject to change in accordance with my work and school schedule, but for the most part those hours will be correct. If you see me online on Discord, then I'm available.

    Strengths: Math, Chemistry, Statistics, Economics
    Weaknesses: History, Any language that isn't English, Physics

    I probably won't need any help since I'm a university student pursuing my degree (and I'm almost done), but I am glad to provide whatever help I can to others.

    Ooh! I love this idea! I may offer help, just know I'm younger than almost everyone (maybe even everyone) on here, so don't expect me to know as much as the rest of you. I'll only be able to offer help when I am on because of my very tight time table.

    Yo, sorry for the hold up on this. We have enough people to make it an actual thing on discord!!! So I need to make sure everyone can meet there, and what day we actually agree on starting and getting the HW group going. I'm fine with around Wednesday this week. You all? ^^

    As long as that time is within my available frames, I can be there. If I adjust for Shiro's time-zone, I will appear briefly on Wednesday from 3PM for about 40 minutes, then again later at 10.30PM for about two hours. (Wednesdays into Thursdays can get particularly hectic for me, hence my restrictive hours, but if I can, then I will.)
