High School Class of 2017

@athenanv13 yep! I guess it’s best if your family travels a lot throughout the year buuuut that’s not my family haha

I really wanted to find a summer program but I couldn’t find one that interested me. I hope I could find one eventually, it could help me out A LOT with applications…

Lol been out since May 21

Gosh… The mess with the June 6 SAT is making me really anxious. @Cornbread1999 , you took it then, right? Or am I misremembering? What do you think about the two dropped sections?

Gosh finals next week and right now i have 3 finals (projects, 25 pager english essay kill me now please) due tomorrow and havent started studying for 3 other cumulative finals because of the 3 due tomorrow.
This is really bad. I have the weekend at least.

Am I the only one without a permit yet? Everyone else sems to have either a permit or license. I’m the only one without one at my school. :frowning:

I was planning to get one over the summer, but looks like that’s not happening…I’m so busy.

No, I haven’t gotten mine yet either.

I have my permit and am eligible to take the license road test July 7. However, my parents do not believe I am ready and are set against allowing me to drive, it seems, ever. They mostly don’t want to pay insurance or buy a car or even pay for the school parking spot fee. This really irks me because I’m willing to help with the cost in any way I can AND I have a job so I will need to be able to drive.

The majority of juniors at my school drive to school, and since I’m in newspaper (and we go off campus a lot), it’ll be very inconvenient for me to take the bus (and with club meetings as well!) I would ask friends to drive me to school and home, but I don’t know many people who live in my area and would never ask those who live even slightly out of the way.

Yeah, you guys just reminded me of my struggle. LOL. I think in other areas it isn’t as big of a deal to not have your permit or license (if the public transportation is good), but here, there are very few options if you don’t have a car… UGH.

I am now a junior! No more sophomore year for me… I’m really salty because I got an A- in English because I didn’t get full credit on reading logs, but oh well. Still an A of some sort. I don’t know what I got in Chem, and now I’m really worried; I don’t think I did too badly on the final, but I’m right on the border between a B+ and an A-, so I’m really scared. I won’t get to know what I got until we get our report cards back. I think I got an A- on the final, but I’m not sure…

I don’t have my permit yet, either; I haven’t had the time to get it.

Next year the school buses aren’t going to have a route from where I live to the school, so it’s going to be a big problem that I can’t drive. Hopefully we’ll find someone to carpool with or something.

At my school, most people get their licenses as soon as they can, and I’ve had mine for 4 months.

I live in a suburban place with almost no public transportation, so people try to get their licenses soon here too. I guess I’m just an outlier.

I got my license a couple of weeks ago. My parents won’t get insurance and when they do, they don’t trust me to drive around on my own. They also won’t buy me a car. I said I could get a job to pay for it but I need a form of transportation to get to that job.

@athenanv13 I started Driver’s Ed a month ago and I’m still on Unit 3 :)) I HATE driving and have no motivation to finish.

We haven’t had actual school buses come to our school for years; there’s public transportation that comes right next to the school, but it’s especially inconvenient for me because it doesn’t have a stop on the hill I live on, only at the bottom, and it takes 15-20 minutes to walk up the hill on good days, let alone with a backpack/in the heat. The old school buses, which my sister took in high school, used to have stops everywhere along the hill. Thankfully, I carpool with another girl who lives nearby. A lot of people get their licenses, but a lot don’t because of school… I know a lot of seniors who got theirs this year.

A lot of people are getting permits next year. Since our town is really small and things hardly happen, police are pretty chill with people with no licenses driving permit only. In my state you can’t drive with a permit until you have the learners permit for driving.
City students don’t need cars they can just take the bus or city bus or subway. But I live in a secluded town and each house is like a half mile away from each other and there are a bunch of farms so we need cars.
also the speed limit is 30s to 50s lol so I’ll be practicing

@pseudoprimal I actually took the SAT Subject tests, but yeah, I heard of the two dropped sections.

wow collegeboard wow. *mega facepalm

@tigerman333 You’re lucky your state allows you to get a license without insurance! NC requires insurance before getting a license so my parents are basically forbidding me to.

AP score distributions are coming out. Only one student scored perfect on AP Calc BC. Maybe it was me? Lol, no chance. :stuck_out_tongue:
