School Workload-Need Some Advice

Re: School Workload-Need Some Advice

bro i had a similar schedule junior year and 4 APs senior year. all you have to do is do most of the assignments, pay at least sorta close attention during class and know how to take tests. sure its easy to say but it really isnt hard to do. just dont think about your course load as some insurmountable mountain of ****, just work through it. you dont have to spend 3 hours a day doing work, i worked 30 hours a week my junior and senior years and did almost nothing at home and still had a solid b average.

youll be fine. also - strong black coffee. i suggest cafe bustelo

haha thanks a lot. ill be getting a job soon too. I guess a b average will do fine for me. I rather not be an over-achiever like I was the previous 2 years

just chill and don't worry about small assignments and stuff because they'll be cake. do the big **** in advance and take time to chill and you'll do fine

IMO don't take so many classes in highschool that throw pointless busy work at you.

You think that's stressful?
ROFL

Try taking AP Chem, AP Biology, APUSH, APLAC, AP Calc BC, Physics Honors, Spanish 4 Honors at your school while taking AP Psychology and AP Comparative Government at your local college..

Couple with speech/debate club, math club, FBLA, varsity tennis, and Robotics Club..

yeah anyways

1) Either be playing something, or working on something. NOTHING IN BETWEEN.
2) If you're gonna play games, play it all at once (1-2 hrs) then focus on homework/school stuff til 11~12PM ish.
3) Don't waste time lurking forums 24/7
4) Quit MMORPGs
5) Quit WoW if you play it

Re: School Workload-Need Some Advice

teehee I did 30 hours of work a year and still got into college suckerzzz

but sssshhhhh don't tell delta or onehandnow ; )

ps If I were you I'd drop honors courses and just take regular courses unless you're keen on Yale or something, but I'm a lazy twit so take that into account.

Re: School Workload-Need Some Advice

I wouldn't take useless classes imo.

I dropped AP Art History before school started (I'm a senior) cause I'm not even applying to any art schools. Colleges don't just look at your grades either. You can work hard on your grades all four years and be the best but most likely, a college you want to go to will pick that other dude in your class that had average grades but was active in extracurricular activities at school like clubs or organizations.

Times are tough man.

Re: School Workload-Need Some Advice

Yeah...I honestly did **** in highschool and bull****ted like 3.5GPA in IB classes (Same as your AP I guess). As long as you do the work you're fine. College is a lot more work but at least it's interesting unless you're taking some bull**** course like General Arts. Really, just as soon as you get home (Or set aside half hour for a quick break) burn through your work and make sure you do it well, with that a 4.0 should be pretty easy. It doesn't matter what you do in your spare time, as long as your work is done you're fine. I think One Hand Now is going overboard like...yeah I would just kill myself.

Re: School Workload-Need Some Advice

I did **** in highschool because it was just so much pointless busy work. College is a breeze though. They only assign homework you need and you don't have 8 hours of school everyday.

Highschool is a waste of time. They could have been forcing feeding me information relative to computer science over those 4 years.
