Ah yes, Advanced Placement. Classes designed to help young, vulnerable high school students basically finish a year of college by graduation. I myself am taking my first this year, but fear not, I have done my research because I plan to graduate with at least six more. As with anything, some AP classes are much more desirable than others, but here, I am assigning each unique personality of these 7 AP courses their own Starbucks beverage.
1. AP World History — Espresso Shot With Matcha
Oh, AP World. You throw your students for a whirlwind! Undoubtedly one of the most confusing, challenging, all-over-the-place AP classes around, you, my friend, can only be found on the secret menu. With your odd, highly caffeinated combination, you only allow the best of the best to take you on.
2. AP Chemistry — Vanilla Bean Frappucino
AP Chem, you are no joke. Of the four core sciences offered at most high schools, you are pretty hard core. However, you've got a soft center. Deep down you're really just a nerd who loves all things universe. You don't need any of that caffeine stuff; you run on brain power.
3. AP Calculus AB — Pumpkin Spice Latte
Poor little AB, the calculus always living in the shadow of your older brother. So what does one do when desperate for attention? Why make themselves the most iconic and popular option of course! We won't even tell BC you're a little less challenging than him.
4. AP Calculus BC — Coffee With Milk
BC Calc is a boss. He does what he wants, when he wants. He does not need the fancy Instagram-worthy appeal of Calculus AB, he's got it all in his makeup. Just like iced coffee with milk, BC Calc is a hardworking classic that is never going out of style.
5. AP Psychology — Half Caf, Non-Fat, 120 Degree Caramel Machiatto with One and a Half Pumps of Sugar Free Syrup, Upside Down, with Soy Milk
No hate towards AP Psychology, we are going to be dear friends someday, but first we have to face the facts. You have "take me if you want an easy schedule filler" written all over you. You care deeply about feelings and the social patriarchy in modern day society. You also happen to be vegan. Ugh! Did someone say millenial? But you AP Psychology, you have got a curveball. Once students try you out, they won't know what hit them.
6. AP Chinese — Flat White
Simple. Sophisticated. Yet somehow, deliciously complex. AP Chinese is only for those mature enough to handle. Those other losers out there taking AP Spanish and French thinking they're learning "the world's most useful languages." Well, AP Chinese does not need that title. It hits him as he is sipped by a student in ray bans and khakis that he is there only for those worthy enough to find him.
7. AP Music Theory — Unicorn Frappe
Hey AP MT, don't be dismayed. Don't listen to the haters, and focus on the attention you got! Sure you may be for begginers in the AP world, and sure you may be known as "the class for someone who needs an AP," but we all know you are special just the way you are. You're living in a world of your own. Even if you make no sense, and are still trying to figure yourself out, so congrats AP Music Theory for standing out; you do you. You're fabulous.
