I’m a high school junior who is entering senior year pretty soon. I applied for many AP courses and happened to get into all of them. All together, there are four AP courses. My school goes by a six-class day. One of the classes lasts two whole classes. I guess I thought I wasn’t trying hard enough during the previous years and decided that senior year would be the one. Am I setting myself up for disaster here? I fear that with so much work, I’ll hardly get any time to relax.

AP Classes are a lot like college classes, depending on your college- so welcome to a more college-like schedule. Admittedly, having these courses every day is going to be rough (presumably you can handle it), but this isn’t too foreign to what you may experience in a full blown college- so don’t worry about it.

Basically, in your senior year, you have a choice- waste your time messing around with “Senior Events”, or study your rear off. I think the latter (what you seem to be doing) is going to do you better (some of those may transfer to your college and place you out of some basic requirements)- so in the long run, you’ll be better off.

Still, do keep in mind that you’ll be sacrificing a bit of your free time in your senior year, so be prepared to not be able to do some things. If you feel like you’ll want extra time to goof off with typical highschool stuff (senior yearbooks, whatever), then drop a class. Otherwise, stick with them- it will be excellent practice for college, and you’ll be ahead of the game down the road.
