Registration

It’s that time of the year again; registration for next year’s classes. It’s the start of the never ending speech to “Take AP”. And more importantly, for us juniors, it’s the start to thinking about our senior year. Shit’s getting real, guys.

          AHHHHHH! Senior year. It’s frightening to think about how close it is to being here. But it is. So that means that we have to start thinking about what we want to do with our lives. Key word: start. But first topic of discussion: To slack or not to slack your senior year. Let’s be honest, we all came in to high school thinking that it was going to be the best four years ever and life was going to be great because we were finally going to be  HIGH SCHOOLERS…or was that just me? Awkward. OKAY, but anyway, we thought that if we worked hard for at least sophomore and junior year, senior year would be a breeze. But now that I’m sitting here picking out classes for next year, it has come to my realization that you really shouldn’t slack off too much as a senior. It really doesn’t look great on your transcript, even if you have already been accepted to a school. Take AP.

          Second: foreign language. It sure is a pain in my ass, but unfortunately it’s one of those things that will probably help you out in the real world (not the TV show), especially Spanish. So looks like there is another class that I will be adding to my schedule. There goes that extra hour of sleep.

          And last, but certainly not least: college visits. I cannot tell you how many people have told me to go on as many visits as possible. You don’t get a real feel for what the college is like if you don’t actually go and visit. Even if you aren’t sure you want to go there, a visit could change your mind. And who knows, maybe it’s your dream school but you didn’t know until you saw it. Plus you get out of school. It’s pretty much a win-win-situation.

          Pretty much what I’m trying to say is we are almost adults and registering for next year’s classes should really be looking at helping you prepare for college classes. AKA: SHIT’S GETTIN REAL.
