Senior Year of High School

Man i thought senior years were supposed to be fun but i think i am ruining my senior year. I made too difficult of a schedule for myself, even though i know plenty of people probably have harder schedules then me.

My Classes are BioChem, Ap Chem, Forensic Science, English IV, Applications of Computer Tech II, Ap Spanish, Ap Environmental science, Law in America, and Pyschology.

Almost every week or two i have a five page lab report due. My spanish teacher starts eight projects at a time. I have tons of homework a night. I have no life at all this year =(.

So anyways to end my rant and start a discussion, How was/is everyones senior year in high school?

Yet you still find time for GameSpot... :lol: :P My senior year was easy, I only had to go for one class and a study hall (which I completed any homework from that class in) each day, then I had the rest of the day to either be lazy or work.double_decker

Haha yeah, i get distracted easily. =p That is probably part of my problem.Avistann

In order:

Oceanography

AP US Government/ Honors Economics

AP Psychology

Spanish 3

AP Language Arts 4

AP Calculus AB

It sucks for me. Just like you, I have too much stuff to do. Hopefully once college stuff is done things will get more fun.R0cky_Racc00n

I dug myself into a hole as well, and with extracurriculars and college apps it got pretty intense, but if you budget you time and (as much as I hate saying it) stop playing video games, you;ll get through it all with a good grade.Lord__Darkstorn

Yeah i am going to try to do that more, its just like i was writing my lab report yesterday and instead of finishing it i just decided to browse forums and watch youtubes and wasted time =/.Avistann

Haha yeah i should work on my study habits because i LOVE being lazy, i feel bad sometimes because i get so comfy on my girlfriends couch that when she asks me to help her make lunch, i just refuse to move lol.Avistann

AP classes are such a bad idea. Someone should have told you. You know what happens when you take AP classes senior year? You either take them seriously and try hard and bust your ass all year, thus severely affecting the quality of your final year of high school...or you blow them off, and take the AP tests and pass some of them and fail some of them.

Then you get to college and get credit...great...so then they put you in Calc 2 instead of Calc 1, where unless you paid complete attention to Calc 1 during high school you are going to be lost as ****.

Well, this is my planned schedule for senior year (seeing as I'm a junior right now):

Band (most likely going for Honors).

AP Calculus BC.

AP Physics C (or AP Chemistry; I must decide).

AP English Literature.

AP Government / Whatever-level Economics.

AP Statistics.

And a gleaming exception from everything else:

One semester of Pre-AP World Geography, since in my old school, I was only taught one semester of it (the other semester was a different course, but that won't fly at my current school).

...And one semester of P.E.

That part of my senior schedule, at the least, should be pretty easy.

Man good luck in calculus, i took Ap Calc my junior year, i got Cs which wasn't so bad but the only way i got Cs was because our teacher gave us homework completion grades. He did this because our class average was Ds and Es first quarter, i wasn't doing too hot lol. At the end of the year when the seniors left he basically gave up on teaching and let us watch movies. We got to watch Transformers and the Bourne Ultimatum =)Avistann

What the hell? You guys had E's? Is that in between a D and a F?

Anyways, senior year for me was just like any other year of high school, lame. Same busywork, same pointless projects and homework assignments. At least I managed to finish with my straight A's all four years. Thankfully things are better in College so look forward to that.

I did the same thing and totally stacked my schedule with AP's thinking to hell with it because the colleges I was applying to didn't care about my GPA anymore as long as I didn't totally bomb lol. I took the following APs: Physics C, Calc AB, Econ (Micro and Macro), and Psychology. I would've taken AP Japanese too, but they started offering the test one year after I graduated lol. I spent a lot time with schoolwork, but I was used to it after so many similiar years in high school. It turns out that I got my highest GPA's in high school during senior year, mainly from the boost that came with so many weighted classes lol.CJL182

I made sure I was in the easiest classes I could possibly take during my senior year. Photography...ceramics...I think the only mistake I made was taking marine science. We had to dissect a different sea creature every week...and I didn't even need another science credit.Ryeferd

*Shrugs.* I just had my first part of my skull quiz for anatomy, and got a perfect on it. I have 44 more things to test over it before we can move to the vertebral part of the body. We had to locate and name the parts of the skull, such as the vomer, ethmoid, sagittal suture, coronal suture, lambdoidal suture, perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone, zygomatic process, mandibular condyle, etc. I also have to write a paper over the career I am considering. :?ayanami_rei

My schedule is not nearly as bad:

IB Theory of Knowledge

IB French

IB Math Studies

IB World Literature

IB Biology

IB History of the Americas

Even though they're all IB courses, the work load is definitely manageable. I also have lunch and study hall everyday plus gym every other day.
