High School Class of 2018

So I just got six e-mails from Virginia Tech. :smiley: They were about a survey for prospective students and about whether or not VT is the right place for me.

@averagebean I would die if I had that schedule. My stress levels went up just looking at it. :))

I’m taking 3 this year : Psychology, World, and Spanish Lang. I’m taking World and Spanish in school but I’m ding Psych online

@ak2018 That is great! Things are seeming to look great in your direction!

One, just WHAP @lindsgal

@lindsgal Just two. Computer Science and World. I’m feeling more confident with both, but I need to brush up on a few key topics in computer science or else the frq’s will hurt me. I can definitely get a 4 at this point, but I’m shooting for a 5. Same thing with world. Only one month to go! @-)

@lindsgal Bio and World… I’m kind of freaked out about Bio, I hear it’s hard?

I can’t believe the school year is almost over! It feels almost like yesterday when I found this thread in August!

Idk about you guys but this school year is seriously starting to take its toll on me. I have no drive to do like anything anymore. I also just found out that our AP Bio class will not be allowed to have lab for 3 weeks due to PARCC testing and I will be missing all of the test review due to PARCC. Isn’t that wonderful?

@mamaba Sorry, PARCC?

@reidd799 The ā€œPartnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careersā€ test. It’s AWFUL. If you want to see a basic version of the test look it up.

Our state only started it last year and so many schools nationwide have rejected it because the test makes no sense. It’s now one of our graduation requirements but no one even tries because for our grade and up it doesn’t count.

same, time is going by so fast. I feel like i just started 10th grade. :0

I feel like the school year has went by fast too. I can’t say I’ve learned a lot.

Also, hey everyone, I am Abigail and I will be in the class of 2018 :)!

@mamaba Oh god, PARCC. My state used it for one year and then stopped because everyone was in unanimous agreement that it was ridiculous. I was so upset by it that I almost wrote the department of education a letter. Seriously, I had three subjects to test in and had to go to six, what, 3-hour long testing sessions? It wasted our teachers’ time, our time…I may or may not have cried and questioned everything…I’m so glad I never have to face that terrible excuse for a standardized test ever again in my life.

@Abbiegalie Welcome, Abigail! :slight_smile:

What are your goals for the next few months? Mine are to lower my bfp and increase my lean muscle, study at least 1 hr a day even on holidays (I’m soooo bad when it comes to studying. I always study the morning of the test oops) and not eat as much junk LOL. I’ve had McDonald’s for breakfast for the past week and it’s sooo bad. My coach would be furious but frick that. Treat yo’self girl

@Abbiegalie Welcome to the thread!!!
@averagebean I want to run a 4:30 mile for track, win a track award, get super good grades, and become god (joking).

@averagebean I want to stop procrastinating and get more sleep! That is seriously my main problem. It’s ridiculous.

Does anyone think it would be nerdy to start a website that posts note revisions and whatnot for my AP classes next year. I’m planning to do this for APUSH and AP Gov because I feel it would be very helpful to my classmates and me. You could post everything you needed and making it would help you study easier. I dont know it seems like a good idea to me.

@HelloThereHola That sounds great actually, what platform would you use?
