Hi guys, I’m back with more rants! I hope you’re all ready for this one because I’m going to be releasing all my “two-months-into-high-school” frustration. Going into high school, in my opinion, is an experience that you could try to explain but could never understand completely unless you’ve been there. It’s more of a feeling rather than a description. And here are these feelings, without further ado, welcome to the life of an AP student.
For some reason, in high school, time seems to pass by ten times slower. The first day seemed like forever ago even though it had only been a matter of a couple of weeks. I remember the very first day of class; I thought it was so hard like nothing would ever be as difficult as that very first class. MAN, WAS I WRONG. Looking back, the first day of class was actually the easiest. If I could ever go back in time, I would hit myself for every time I complained about school in Jr. High or elementary. I had no clue what real hardship was. But, I swear, in the future when I’m in university, I will be laughing at how hard I thought high school is. I guess that’s just how it goes, but for now, let me rant about high school.
THERE’S SO MUCH STUFF TO KNOW. There is so much information!! And!! This term!! I have social, math and science AP!!! I have so much work to do consistently, but you can catch me watching Netflix almost all the time. Procrastination is a witch and she’s back at it again. Honestly, I’ve lost track of how many quizzes I’ve had to do. The only subject that I’m not freaking out in is gym. In science AP, there’s probably about three things I actually understand. I’M SO LOST. I don’t even know what I don’t know. WHAT EVEN IS A CELL?? I! DON’T! KNOW! The only thing I know about biology is that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell!! I literally can’t.
I have to balance studying, sports and piano?? IT’S HARDER THAN IT SOUNDS TRUST ME. And, not to mention, I’m supposed to get a minimum of 8 hours of sleep?? HOW? I DON’T UNDERSTAND!! IT’S ONLY BEEN TWO MONTHS! WHAT EVEN?!
Me when I was little: *gets a 95* hm, okay.
Me now: *gets a 95* wow, first off, I’d just like to thank Jesus for blessing me with this grade. *wipes tear*
And if you miss a day of class, mind as well just have missed an entire chapter! I do not understand the people who skip because I cannot afford that kind of stunts. HONEY, if I skipped even just half a class, I’d come back to 5864 pages of notes and 32 textbook questions due for tomorrow. Like, you wanna skip? Okay, you better hope that Superman comes with you because I don’t know how you’re going to catch up on all that class you missed. My camera roll used to be full of selfies and pictures of friends, now it’s all notes.
OH? You wanna hang out?? Here, let me just check my schedule real quick… Sorry, but from today until the last day of school, I’m studying for the 54 tests I have. THEORETICALLY, I SHOULD BE BUSY WITH ALL THE WORK I HAVE TO DO BUT SOMEHOW, SOMEHOW, I ALWAYS FIND THE TIME TO BE WATCHING A NEW TV SHOW OR STALKING PEOPLE THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA!! AND ALSO, SLEEP IS NO LONGER A CHOICE BUT A PRIVILEGE. MY MOTIVATION TO WAKE UP IN THE MORNING IS TO THINK ABOUT HOW IN ABOUT 15 HOURS, I CAN SLEEP AGAIN.
But for real though, I think I’m doing alright in school. Lately, I’ve just been obsessed with my grades to the point where I’m checking my grades online every ten minutes. My mom always asks me who I’m texting but I’m like “lol, my grades”. You can catch me dying/crying inside when I get an 80% instead of a 90%. “School doesn’t even matter,” I say as I finish all my homework and study for the next ten quizzes. “I don’t even care about grades,” I say as I shed a tear for that one 83% two weeks ago. IT’S HARD, SCHOOL IS COMPLEX. I NEED A SIX MONTH VACATION TWICE A YEAR!!
That’s life of an AP student for you. This rant will be continued later, stay tuned!
