I’ve also met many of my best friends and even some girlfriends through the speech competitions.

I didn’t know you were a girlyman.

Be warned, you are going to get picked on.

Latch on to a good hearted senior, and they will help you get through the rough years ahead.

Do speech, or some other form of contest that includes something that isn’t physically involved. You make more friends here than anywhere else, and you get all forms of networking under your belt. (I’ve applied for jobs where they found out I was an elite member of the IHSSA. And that alone was enough to give me the job on the spot.) I’ve also met many of my best friends and even some girlfriends through the speech competitions.

Take college courses in high school. It’s cheaper (assuming your school was run like mine, it was free to enroll in college credit courses and they transfer the credit hours to whatever college you attend), but don’t overload yourself. I took a full slate of college courses my senior year along with all of my advanced placement classes (I’m smarter than you ahaha. /sarcasm). It was just to much to keep up on, and I had to fail some of my college courses in order to graduate.

Take your hardest classes in your junior year, your senior year should be spent slacking. Seriously, I spent 90% of my time screwing around with teachers.

I was never really picked on. And I disagree with the picking something that’s not physically involved. It’s good to stay active. I was on football for a year, then golf, then tennis, then track, which had about 100+ students (if you were willing to go to practices and meets, then you were on the team. Even with that though, we had 8 or 9 people that went to state and placed pretty high). I made a lot of friends doing all of those. I’d say just join whatever activity you enjoy. But DO EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES. Community service and clubs cough key club cough look great on college apps. I didn’t do a whole lot of community service, but I had enough years of sports and other extra curriculars, plus a great essay, to get into one of the top engineering universities in the country.

I completely agree with everything else though. I took the hardest classes offered all 4 years, including my senior year. Which even though I got senioritis pretty bad, I was still able to squeak by with atleast a B in everything.

Dang…that’s lolzy

[quinton (Q)]

What I meant was do something not physically involved at least. Don’t just be “that sports guy”, diversify yourself.

^he/she is right.

I basically just sat through high school. Alabama’s school system is awful, so I never had to really put in any work. If you go to a good school that actually tries to impart knowledge then take advantage of it as much as possible.

Not really, no.

Well, we have really dope colleges. Our elementary and high schools are garbage.

Welp, my school is online so the only challenge I have is to not procrastinate…

[offstring-stewart]

I thought High school AP Calc was hard. Now college Calc feels too easy…weird

OH, nonononono…Pre-calc and Calc are two different beasts, trust me…My pre cal teacher was awesome, but Calc…different beast, again.

I’m on my second week of high school. Pretty fun, but my best friends/inner circle are all in 8th grade, so I gotta hand out with my outer circle.

Sophomore year. To all freshies: Welcome to the place where everyone judges and no one cares enough to listen and understand. Welcome to 4 years of peer pressure and, if you play it right, 4 years of fun.
