Are AP classes being shoved down your throat?

im taking 4 ap classes this year: bio, lit, calc, and gov. I would have taking literature, calculus and government if they werent ap cause i love the teachers and i like learning about history/politics, i like reading books and analyzing them, and just like solving problems lol. im not sure about bio though, i like it and all but i was burnt out after ap chem last year, if i had a choice i wouldnt have taken bio and would have rather had a lunch (which i dont have now since i am taking so many ap classes). i am also taking college accounting (accounting class that i get college credit for) because i want to learn about it since i want to major in business in college. i am too physics just because all my science teachers and guidance counselor said that i should atleast experience what it is like before i go to college. i guess that was a good decision cause i now know that i dont like physics lol anyway that is my schedule for my senior year.

it is going pretty good so far but id just like to say taht these classes were NOT shoved down my throat. my guidance counselor said that i should take less classes, because i wont have a lunch. my dad even told me to drop a class or two because i am overworking myself and that senior year is for relaxing. he said that i shouldnt take ap lit because it wont help me or benefit me in any way for the rest of my life so then i shouldnt waste my time with it. the only reason i wanted to take it was because i like learning about that stuff, because i am interested in it. in the end he left it up to my decision and i stayed in the class. the only not fun class i have all day is bio (because of the teacher, she is nice but she is also very arrogant/thinks she is better than everyone) and college accounting (cause none of my friends are in that class) oh and physics but i have fun in that class anyway cause i just hang out with my friends
