I'm currenty a junior, and my art class is only a first semester class, so I will have a new free period. What should I do with it?
My schools has 7 periods of around 40-45 minutes, and I already have another free period (required). I think my 3 options are:

A: Take no class and do better in the 5 classes I am already in

B: Take no class and self study AP Comp Govt (I'm already taking AP AB Calc, AP US History, AP French Lang, a regular Physics class which is pretty hard and a self study for AP US Govt)

C: Take an easy History or Science elective for an A with the chance that I might actually be interested in it (My school doesnt have many class options) The Civil Rights class could help my AP US Govt self study and the Science class might make me more interested in science)


I know in a perfect world I should take a class and add a self study AP, but thats not possible.

What do you think I should do for both college admission purposes and learning purposes?

If I had the chance, I'd take another class. :] Extra grades/credits can't hurt if you're sure you can ace the class.

I'd take it off and focus on your current classes. I only have 5 classes now and it's a nice schedule.

last year (junior year) during my free period I volunteered at the school library as a TA

this year I've been using my free period (last period of the day = get out early) to chill, and hopefully I'll be getting a job soon because I need to start making some moneys (city library = $8+ baby)

Enjoy it. Just take the free period and go to like starbucks or something.

Get 1st period or last period free period. Then you can either sleep in or go home early.

If a class looks interesting to you and you think you can handle the work, why not take it?

Otherwise, just chill or find something else that looks interesting and worthwhile, like an online class, volunteer work, etc.

Enjoy the off period, like I'm doing now! Don't kill yourself with work in highschool, you have the college and the rest of your adult life for that.
