0sm0sis is currently a sophomore competing for Mason High School. He does the least random selection of events ever. Prior to division C, he used to compete for Mason Middle School. Initially participating in physics and chemistry events, he has drifted to exclusively physics events.

History

Pre-scioly years

As a child, 0sm0sis's endeavors in science were always pretty half-baked. He can remember regularly going to science-related discovery museums in the area like the Center of Science and Industry in Columbus and the Boonshoft Museum but being continually distracted by brain-rotting YouTube videos and mobile games. Weirdly enough, a mobile sparked his first interest in physics after he purchased "Angry Birds: Furious Forces" at a Scholastic Book Fair. Ever since then, he's been on the old (cliche) journey to understand the physical world around him.

2017-18 (7th grade, Division B)

I had almost "accidentally" joined this club. You see, I only joined because I walked by a flyer during open house... yeah I am eternally grateful for that moment. Anyway, I decided to try out for physics and chemistry. I signed up and procrastinated studying until the day before xD. I just went through the study guide for 3 hours and bam it was testing day. I somehow made it and I was very happy. I ended up choosing Potions and Poisons, Hovercraft, Thermodynamics, and Optics. Optics is still one of my favorite events.

Except I was really bad at it lol. During the meetings, I didn't know what I was doing or understand what I was being taught so I played pokemon on my computer. I remember trying to catch a zapdos for the entire meeting and I still didn't get it (sad). When it came time for the mock invitational (to determine rosters for Centerville), I had 3 questions. "Wait it's today?" "Whats a binder lol," and "wait theres a list of organisms for potions???" Needless to say, I did horrible except in THERMODYNAMICS. I actually won (by a large margin) through common sense and dimensional analysis. Weird times. I cannot stress how bad I was. I made the Centerville rosters and I think my partners were doomed at that point? I actually started engaging with people and I started trying. My partners were really supportive <3. Placed in potions poggers!.

Event	Centerville	Regionals
Thermodynamics	uhh something like 18	-
Hovercraft	uhh something like 35	-
Optics	uhh something like 20	2

2018-19 (8th grade, Division B)

In 0sm0sis's first year of Science Olympiad, he did his best to copy the events of his friend with the exception of Density Lab (until about two months in). Some poor practice test performances weathered his enthusiasm, but a fortuitous mock performance revived his interest in SciOly. Though 0sm0sis was unable to attend the Centerville Invitational (and hasn't to this day) he was able to partner up with his pal nobodynobody for the New Albany Invite and rest of the season and score big.

Event	New Albany	Regionals	States
Thermodynamics	1st	3rd	2nd
Circuit Lab	2nd	1st	3rd
Density Lab	2nd	1st	2nd
Crime Busters	6th	1st	No
Picture This	2nd	-	-

2019-20 (9th grade, Division C)

Big Big BIG hype to join Mason High School. This was the school that inspired me to grind last year. Being a freshman, I didn't know which events to pick, and I wanted to make the roster. I didn't go with pure physics because it was already dominated by OP people. I remember planning on maining WIDI and PPP lmfao, but I never went through with it (because freshmen were only allowed 3 events but we could be placed in more??? IDK). I went with astronomy (which I debated dropping because I procrastinated too much on an event as big as this, Sounds of Music (I wasn't gonna do this either until my friends convinced me to), Wright Stuff (I was told if I did it, I could make rosters).

I started the season off strong by being carried in astronomy, also my first over-night trip. I didn't make the rosters for sounds of music but it's ok. I also got put into WIDI, which the graded rubric we got back matched nothing like what I built (should've placed smh). I decided to actually start trying in wright stuff, so I got a new kit and grinded for UC. My best flight times were for UC (sad) cuz I got too ambitious after. I wasted so much time on this event but at least it was fun (sometimes).

When the MIT rosters came out, I was sad. I got placed onto B team. Anyway, I grinded :) (tada!). Also my plane hit the ceiling and crashed oof. TBH MIT was a miracle.

Covid rip. . .

Event	Northview	University of Cincinnati	MIT	Solon	Centerville	Regionals
Astronomy	1st	1st	5th	25th*	2nd	2nd
Ping Pong Parachute	-	-	-	5th	-	-
Sounds of Music	-	3rd	4th	5th	2nd	1st
Wright Stuff	19th	1st	8th	13th	6th	3rd
Write it Do it	13th	-	4th	-	8th	5th

There was a scoring error when adding points that resulted in 100 points not being counted, resulting in a 25th placing instead of a 3rd (still VERY traumatized about this to today)*

2020-21 (10th grade, Division C)

Yay sophomore year. I could have not asked for a better astronomy partner. I kind of despise this year because its all online and hella boring, but at least we can get spoiled with high quality tests every invite :D

I main astronomy now I guess

I'm glad to not do wright stuff btw.

Also I am the mystery build G.O.A.T
