Also, I wouldn't consider NA beer cheating! For me, the ritual of social drinking was just as important as the taste. Drinking good NA beers with friends is a 95% solution.

It looks like the Physical & Active Hobbies sector is populated exclusively by books in the northeast portion and video games in the southwest. It might be a direct swap with the Gaming & Virtual Worlds sector, which contains some physical activity events.

Regarding other comments about AI use, I tend to agree but can maybe add some context.

I finished my ME degree this fall and found dynamics to be the most enlightening course for me by far. The ability to build a reasonable approximation of real-world systems from a set of reference frames and ODEs is incredible, and I find that it has affected the way I see the world in a meaningful way.

That said, a well-defined set of reference frames in particular are the "unsexy" backbone of modeling & sim work, and I acknowledge that the barrier for entry is somewhat high (cumbersome notation, some linear algebra/ODE prerequisites). It seems like you may already have run into a reference frame issue based on some of the other comments. I still think that this is worth learning unassisted by AI! If you're a textbook guy, Kasdin and Paley's Introduction to Engineering Dynamics is how I learned. If not, I'm sure many other online sources are useful.

And once again, great work here. I have no doubt that this will be useful for your college search, especially with a well-understood dynamics foundation. Best of luck!
