9 Things Only AP Students Know

"The human brain is amazing. It functions 24 hours a day from the time we were born, and only stops when we take an exam."

9 Things Only AP Students Know
k-12 tech decisions

1. You take 6 AP classes a school year because all your classmates took them too.

You didn't want to be THAT honor student who doesn't stick with the rest of honor student and fell behind. So you had to take the highest level of all the classes available or you'll be separated from your friends.

2. You have a period of a few days every 3 weeks where all your AP classes have exams and it's hell.

When you have AP Chem, AP Physics, Calculus, and US History exams all in the same week.

3. "Did you do homework?" "No." "Okay, good, we'll fail together."

4. Getting closer to AP exam time and you're teacher still hasn't covered 70 percent of the material.

She tries to cram in eight concepts in two weeks. You try to learn one concept but the teacher moves onto another one before you get the hang of it the first one so you just sit in class and pretend you're getting it.

5. Debating whether or not you know enough to pass with a 4 or 5, or waste 100 bucks.

6. Realizing you're on your own so you try to study by yourself.

Except if you're like me, you've never had to study before in high school.

6. The day of your AP exam, you see everyone from middle school again.

Do you say hi? Do you not? Do they even remember you? So you try to hide and not make eye contact.

7. During your exam, you don't remember learning half the things they asked.

8. Finishing that exam and accepting your fate.

@ God It's up to you now homie.

9. The best part of the day is going out to eat with your friends because you don't have to get back to school until 4th period.

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.
