Is This Crazy?

Pre-College Topics High School Life

<p>So my junior year is going to be packed, I was wondering if anyone had done something similar, or if I'm just crazy.
Classes will be:
First sem: Honors Precalc, Honors Chem, French 2, and Honors Pre APUSH.
Second sem: AP Stats, APUSH, AP Lang, and French 3.
I will be taking Honors Political Theory in the fall and Honors Forensics and another class in the spring through North Carolina School of Science and Math.
I will be participating in theatre, which runs until four every day, Colorguard, with practice from 5-8 on Tuesday's and Thursday's, football games on some Fridays, and competitions on some Saturdays. I will also be dancing on Wednesdays and Thursday nights.
I will also be participating in an animal rights club after school, but that will probably not take up much time. Am I crazy?</p>

2

<p>Yes .</p>

<p>Crazy isn’t the right word. Try unfocused.</p>

4

<p>Why unfocused? I like performing and academics.</p>

5

<p>You have SO many interests, you will be crazy busy, extremely tired, and burnt out from all of EC. What EC are really important to you? I mean I’m in a marching/concert band, so do I understand that part kind of with the games and afterschool practices everyday. I don’t know if I could do another time consuming activity right afterword and then still do my hw, PLUS the extra work you’re doing.</p>

6

<p>I really want to participate in everything, if I had to drop one thing I’d drop guard because I’ll only do it junior and senior year, as opposed to dance and theatre, which I’ll do for four years.</p>

7

<p>Yeah, the classes arent a big deal but the ECs are too much. Drop something (guard I guess). I would just do Drama for 4 years and the clubs you’re going to do, make sure you get some sort of leadership position in them, that will look much better on a college app.</p>

8

<p>Yeah. This is crazy.</p>

9

<p>No, it’s definitely doable. My final semester of high school I had nine classes (five of which were intensive community college classes), played a varsity sport, and was involved in organizing our Relay for Life, among other EC’s. It was difficult and tiring, of course, but I did it and looking back, I wouldn’t change a thing.</p>

10

<p>I think it’s doable; I’m also in marching band which has the same amount of practices, and I play a sport. I’m also volunteering in the midst of all of this.</p>

11

<p>Honestly I will be doing just as much as you, so I have no room to judge. That being said I agree, try and focus on something.</p>

12

<p>I’m focusing on theatre, that’s my first love, but I’m still going to do everything.</p>

<p>@_____@ color guard. </p>

<p>The way you marching band people do color guard, I just don’t get it…</p>

<p>omg Niquii so mean lahhhh</p>

<p>…I can barely lift my rifle lol.
But I watched our marching band color guard and was like “what the hell is this and why do they call it color guard this is a disgrace.”</p>

17

<p>Hahah i totally get that MB colorguard is many worlds different from colorguard. MB CG is another form of art/dance. You should really watch Phantom Regiment “Spartacus”. I loved it an I was happy when our winter guard show took inspiration from it.</p>

18

<p>I got a three on the schedule thing.
Our guard captain is actually teaching the JROTC team how to spin/ toss rifle XD</p>

19

<p>I have a question - I am going to be a junior and am taking the following courses - APUSH, AP BIO, AP STATs, French 3H, American Lit H, Analysis (pre-calc) H, and Dance. Does this sound like the right schedule? Is there a gain in taking 3 APs junior or should I take less/more?</p>

<p>It depends on your high school. I can only take APs in my spring semester, and we only have four classes a semester, so for my school that’s a lot. If there are lots of APs offered at your school, and you have the opportunity to take them, then three may not be that impressive. It sounds good to me, but I go to a sub-par, block scheduled school. Personally, I’d talk to a guidance counselor or an upperclassman friend. They will know your school, and therefore be able to give the best opinion (they will also know you/ your work habits, which will prove extremely helpful).</p>
