So for anyone whose read my bio or whatever it's called on this site, you've probably noticed I'm a random high schooler who decided to come on here and... Well... write stories. Of course, I never noticed that the website was in a different language until three days ago, so that was a ride. I plan to make a "journal" series, where I talk about a random subject and, if any readers wanna comment as well they can feel free to.
Anyways, first topic- high school is weird. Felt like sharing some information about my experiences since others might be in a similar boat as me or are just curious about anything (probably not but uuuh, I'm still posting this because I'm bored, really, and tired.)234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbd4YfO7vp
For reasons unknown to even me, I decided to try and be "that" student; the ones who try to go for the top dogs despite not being able to handle it. First I did AP and Honors, then tried to go for something that was supposedly the same as college but not (heads up: It was not like college at all, because I was taking a college class; I got scammed out of my sanity and time). Even now I'm doing Dual Enrollment, where you can take college courses at a nearby college along with your usual high school shenanigans.
Now, with school, nobody seems to know what's going on, not even the teachers at times. Want to drop a program because it's making your mental state take a steep dive? Hm, well, that might look bad on your record if you drop the entire thing at this moment, so why not do half of it instead? Of course, this was on me for not arguing more, but it still sucked because holy hell was the program not like they said it was; college like, but ten times worse where sometimes the teachers threw the material at you and said "good luck, adios!" to never be heard from for three days. So this is a small word of advise; 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzAiaqd1np
if you think you can't do something, and it's taking a harsh toll on your mental state, don't continue it. Sure, some would argue "you need to keep trying so you can improve" and all that jazz, but once it affects your actual mental state? Dip as fast as possible, because it'll only get worse- at least from what I experienced, and I'm a bit more sensitive than the common Joe.
That's not to say all advanced courses or programs are like this; some honors and AP were really fun and where I met my closest friends, and one program I joined in early high school was fun with the field trips and projects- but sometimes it just doesn't work out no matter how much you want it to.
Though being that antisocial kid in the corner never helps your case either, and it probably didn't help mine; I didn't know anyone but one kid in my classes first year, and he got kicked out the second yead if I remember correctly. And instead of making new friends, I decided "Nah, I like the two I have, even though one is out of state and the other is an hour away". So now here I am, in the library, on my computer, typing this out. I should probably get better priorities than sitting here typing a journal, but oh well, if I die inside then I die inside.
