Just need a little bit of school guidance?

Question

So i planned on taking 4 ap classes this year but now i find myself only taking 2. I had planned for ap human geography, ap english, ap government, and ap psychology, along with h chemistry and h pre cal. Now i am taking ap human geography, h pre cal, ap english, h chemistry, art 3, and weight training.

I just paniced, i dont like my school, i hate alot of the students...my school is so ghetto. If i could be in a class where it was just me, then id be fine. Like doing independent study or home schooled. School is just too stressful. Im hoping to pull of straight a's this year because my last 2 classes are joke classes. But i really cant be that mad about how ive slacked off, because id rather trade misery for happiness then have to bust my *** and be tired and miserable for 9 months. And just to top it off, im also taking spanish 2 in a correspondent class that i do at home, so im technically taking 7 classes instead of 6...which is what my school offers. But my question is, did i make a mistake by taking weight training?

Answer 1

LOL! I was not expecting that last question. I thought you would ask something more practical like, about how many APs you were taking.

Yes, you are very fine with taking weight training. It all depends on the teacher, how is s/he? Ask around. If s/he is easy, then you're all set. Is it your senior year? That's quite a lot of APs. If you're not a senior, I'm surprised they allow you to take those at an earlier year.

Answer 2

It sounds to me like it's not weight training that's stressing you out... it's school in general. Talk to your parents and/or school counsellor about how stressed out you feel; they should be able to offer you some options, like switching schools, dropping AP, or something else. Really, unless you're intent on getting into Harvard or some other Ivy League school, AP won't benefit you too much. You could always drop weight training if you feel too busy, and instead take a spare so that you can work on other homework at that time. But at the same time, remember that physical activity is important, and if weight training is the only time when you're able to do activity, then keep it.

If your school has any clubs that interest you, join them. If not, try volunteering in the community or joining a club/class that you enjoy. Universities and colleges look for extra-curricular activities too, not just straight A's, and these activities give you a chance for some "me time"... and it sounds like you could use some of that right now. Remember to keep balance in your life (okay, I know it sounds really cheesy, but it's important), and don't take on more than you think you can handle and burn out halfway through the year. I know that no matter what decision you make, it will be great, because only you are the person who truly knows what's best for you. :)

Answer 3

no you didn't make a mistake, it's good to be well rounded in different areas. And it is known that weight is becoming more of an issues in this period of time, so it's good to expand your knowledge in that area. Good luck and just try your best. Sometimes the things you think are not important are the ones that take you the farthest.
