<p>Hey everyone! So it's scheduling time at my school. I have a pretty packed schedule this year, and have a HUGE question. I don't know whether it is better to take a study hall or continue on with newspaper. Here's my schedule:</p>
<p>AP Biology
AP Chemistry
AP Statistics
AP American Literature
Honors Pre-Calculus/ Trigonometry
Latin 3
STUDY HALL OR NEWSPAPER</p>
<p>I like newspaper, and am good at it, but am afraid that I won't have time for anything with the classes that I am going to take (four APs, one honors, and Latin). Does it look bad on your transcript/ to colleges taking a study hall?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I don’t think study hall will look bad. Even if it does, it’s not going to break you. Getting worse grades in classes or not doing as much outside of school because you took on a schedule that you couldn’t handle is worse. Just take study hall if you think you might get overwhelmed without it.</p>
<p>Trust me, you will want to have the study hall. Work time during school hours is a godsend.</p>
<p>OMG GET THE STUDY HALL!!!</p>
<p>I’ve had a study hall for 1st period throughout this year. I had to drop an honors class to do it. A lot of people would argue against doing this, but I seriously can’t begin to tell you how helpful it was. From doing SAT practice, to finishing up homework, to just relaxing before school starts - a free period is, like the guy above me said, a godsend.</p>
<p>Oh, and the best thing was going to bed early because I knew I could just finish my hw during the free period.</p>
<p>I definitely recommend it!</p>
