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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
