<li>Okay, so I’m wondering if I should take AP World History. The reasons I have for taking it are:
a. it’s a challenge, and colleges like to see APs.
b. my good friend (…& guy I like…) are taking it. Yes, we would all end up in the same class.</li>
</ol>
<p>Yes, I know these might not seem the most stable reasons, but just know that to me they are IMPORTANT. I have less and less good friends, and hardly ever find a guy I am interested in. I am also extremely stressed out over college.</p>
<p>But I am also challenging myself with an honors math course. (I will be in all honors) Also, I will be applying to a mix of liberal arts colleges and art schools. I am only worried that the work will be too much, that I will not be able to develop the best portfolio and that my grades will slip.</p>
<p>Is it better to get A-minuses/B-pluses in an honors course or get a C or so in an AP course?</p>

<li>AHHHHH PROM JUNIOR YEAR = PROM AHHHH.
Yeah so I know like 0 guys.
I was wondering, what is the MINIMUM kinda “prerequisite” for asking a guy to prom (atleast in your school)? Do you have to be friends? Acquantances? Want to be friends? Seen them in the hallway and think they’re really neat? (Do you have to know them at all? Do you have to have ever talked to them?) WHAT IS IT?</li>
</ol>
<p>Ap World wasnt bad.</p>
<p>I think for prom you at least need to be friends and at least maybe text once in awhile. And you could always just ask them to go as a friend. It’d be creepy is some random sophmore asked me to prom lol</p>
<ol>
<li>If you take and study an AP, it really is about time management. The material isn’t impossible or difficult. I’d recommend the course though I haven’t taken it because a 4 or a 5 on any AP exam is possible with proper initiative and preparation. </li>
<li>Well, I was introduced to my Prom date via a mutual friend. Blind date much? I was asked to go after…3 days of knowing him? I guess he thought I had a good personality or something because…I did not know him at ALL. This is my senior year, however, and he was really looking for a date. If you don’t find one this year, well, no big deal. I know, generally speaking, that those who go as “Prom dates” are looking at dating one another or, at the very least, hold some kind of attraction to one another that supersedes the “just friends” arena. Friends go together too, though. Basically, I wouldn’t worry about going to Prom with a date if you can’t find one. If you’d like to ask a guy, great, I had a junior friend do that recently and they went as friends and had a great time (she, however, has/d a crush on him). Do what you feel comfortable with and don’t be pressured into anything; most importantly move at your own pace.</li>
</ol>
<p>Can you tell me exactly how the workload was? I’m just wondering, because some people in my school have switched out of the class on the second day…
I dunno just anything. I plan to talk to my guidance couselour but I want a general idea first.</p>
<p>lol I would be asking someone to prom next year…but I see where you’re coming from.</p>
<p>Thank you for all the information. (:</p>
<p>It wasnt bad. Just alot of reading and essays.</p>
<p>And even if you try to find a way to get an introduction to this particular guy that could be enough if you guys hit it off.</p>
<p>The portfolio thing, though.
bartnawer, I feel like based on what I have already heard, you are either very smart, downplaying it, or maybe your school’s course was just easier.
I understand that the course is all about time management such, but HOW MUCH time?
Junior year is crucial and I need to get it right…ahhhh. :P</p>
<p>haha depends on how you work. I got a B so i didnt like overwork myself. Just did the bare minimum and prepared myself so if your decentley smart you should do fine! and no im not really smart or anything haha</p>
<p>Take AP World.
in addition to a and b, if you take the AP test and receive a good grade, you can get college credit. It’s one less course you’d have to take in college.
I’m sure you can get a B.
I don’t strain myself in that class and manage to get a solid B. Just keep up with the reading.</p>
<p>I loved AP World… because I like history. Depends on the person</p>
<p>thank you for all the information, it’s very helpful</p>
<p>For prom… you never know who’s going to ask you. I say this because I randomly was asked the other day. I told my bestfriend, so she was like, okay, I have to call John. [John is her friend who lives 3 hours away… He’s her go-to date for prom.] Next thing I know, she’s telling me that Nathan asked her to prom the same weekend that she was going to ask John.</p>
<p>But as for knowing them… You don’t have to know them super well.</p>
<p>I don’t really know… because everyone at my school knows everyone… so yeah. [120 students 9-12]</p>
<p>AP World was one of my favorite classes by far. Take it if you like history. I certainly have fond memories of it.</p>
<p>Lol, don’t worry so much about everything. You will learn over the course of your junior year (hopefully) not to take things so seriously.</p>
<p>Cs are never good; if you can get As that would be optimal. A sprinkling of Bs is OK, but if you’re getting Cs, that means the class is too hard for you. You can always try a harder class, and then switch out if you don’t like it though.</p>
<p>I do think you should at least try out the class though.</p>
<p>And also don’t worry about prom. Alot happens in a year. But if you’re going to ask someone, I think you should at least be friends.</p>
