My Shop Update

Hey!
I haven't posted in a really long time. I've had the time to post, but, you know, I've just been tired every day after basketball practice so I usually just get my homework done and watch Youtube for the rest of the night. I have weights as a class, too, and it contributes to my tiredness.
Anyways, my basketball season is over now. It's truly become one of my passions. This season, I improved a whole lot, and I finally started to become "good". I met my expectations and started scoring points in the double digits. I still have a lot to learn, though, and I look forward to continuing my personal practice during the offseason. I'd really like to go to college for basketball, but it's probably not going to happen. The chances are so small. Even if I did get offered a scholarship for the sport my senior year, I'd likely decline it as I need to focus on my academic path, as I think I have a gift for academics more than sports. That doesn't take away the fact that basketball has pretty much become my favorite thing ever at this point, though.
So... that's pretty much all I have to catch up on. School's been pretty easy as I took all hard classes in the first trimester, and in the second trimester of the school year they've been easier. I think this might be the first post of 2019, too...
Now onto the whole point of this post. There was a super interesting update this Thursday. AJHQ introduced to us the My Shop feature.
This update is obviously one of the most interesting updates we've ever had. I like that AJHQ is starting to put some features in the game to make it better. So, what are the pros and cons of this?
Pros: AJHQ will make more money from people buying gems and diamonds off memberships. This will improve the game. Also, it gives gems and diamonds more of a purpose being in the game. It's a highly requested idea that AJHQ has finally implemented. Finally, this gives people more of a chance to earn currency besides recycling items. It's like a resell app or page on Facebook. I really like this idea.
Cons; It could mess with the rarity and currency system, it will be hard to figure out exact values of items in means of currency, and it's only for members.
What is your opinion on this new feature? I overall think it's positive, but there will always be a few bad things about introducing something new. Anyways, that's all I have. I hope to post again soon.

Glad school is going well for you! What youtubers do you watch? XD Also I like the shop idea but I don't like the fact nm can't buy nm items from the shops.

little late (per use) but if you ever want to talk or give insight about college or any of that jazz, I love talking about that kind of stuff!
Also, maybe you're not where you're wanting to be yet basketball-wise, but focus on the positive! You're much better than a year or two ago! and that's what matters! Focussing on the 'I'm not that good' or 'I'm finally "good"' doesn't help anything, it just brings negative emotions.
Also, I think if you get a scholarship for sports, I'd think you should take it. Depending on the college, it could be $9,000 - 30,000 etc so it would be saving you from thousands of dollars in debt. Plus, you would get to study there too and graduate like a normal student, you'd just have sports as well as studying so you'd do something you love along with focusing on the academics.
I wish you luck with your studies and if you ever want to talk, I still have you added on Discord!
