10 Reasons You Should Take AP Lit Next Year

1. Vocabulary will be a thing of the past

If you take honors or any other class, you will still have to do vocab. I know after you’ve taken the SAT, you just want to be done. You can be.

2. Lots of brainteasers and candy

Candy tastes better when you’ve earned it, and it’s a welcome and fun break.

3. Movies with every book you read

And you’ll read a lot of books. You’ll also watch a lot of videos relating to whatever you’re discussing at the time (and sometimes Tim Hawkins).

4. Books you read in this class will be referenced in your college classes.

So even if you don’t pass the AP test, you’ll be investing in your future.

5. Intelligent, thought-provoking discussion

But in a more laid-back atmosphere than your previous English classes.

6. Books you actually want to read

Maybe every single one won’t be your favorite, but I guarantee you’ll enjoy most of them.

7. AP multiple choice is done in groups

Group suffering is a true blessing.

8. Smaller class size

Though I can’t necessarily guarantee this, small classes are the best.

9. No huge, stressful projects that make you lose nights of sleep

Need I say more?

10. Colleges look to see what AP classes your school offered and how many you took advantage of

You've to be willing to challenge yourself.

Ten Truths Every Honors Student Knows

One of the main reasons I came to Salem State was I was offered a spot in the honors program. While it offered many benefits, scholarships and priority registration to name a few, what drew me in was the strong sense of community and close knit friendships many found. I am glad to say that that I did find these things, and so much more. I found a home made up of some of the most brilliant and most unique people I have ever met. Being in an honors program creates a college experience unlike any other and creates some universal truths that really only an honors student can fully understand.

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?
