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.

In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.
