It’s kind of like an eye for an eye, except that the end of the bargain is always worse for you. It’s more like a soul for insanity. Definitely the best bargain out there… It will tear slowly but surely at your life. You will become a machine knowing nothing except suffering, not even the information needed for the AP exam. You will exchange your free time for a crying session as you attempt to consume the vast knowledge in your puny brain, but to no avail. Tears are a luxury to you now. You will buy other expensive textbooks, hoping that it will increase your score. You will go to class, but because you are expected to know everything already, you are put at a level foreign to you. You try to grasp the material, but you are already too far behind and you have no choice but to cram the night away. Your grade is drastically going down and now all you can think about is increasing it. You’re now no longer doing it for the exam, you’re doing it for the weighted grade. You brought too many things on your plate. You won’t be able to finish it without sacrificing one of them. This three-course meal fills you up, claiming your time, claiming your money. You see no light at the end of the tunnel, but you see your inevitable failure. You will no longer know the meaning of life anymore as you mindlessly finish your busy work one by one. This is but another check mark.
So my advice to you is, don’t put too many things on your plate. You will left some unfinished and it will rot in your mind, engulfing you from life.

This is honestly relatable. It perfectly fits how almost everybody and I struggle with this same issue: procrastination. This post shows how it is like to fall behind and wait until the last minute to get the work done, and we should all follow your advice, or else be plagued by our failures. Otherwise, forgive my long prompt and great job!

This is so, so relatable. I personally have trouble planning for my stress levels when I’m in a good mood, so I always over-commit out of fear of under-committing. This perfectly describes life as an AP student in high school. Great job!

Someone from College Board really needs to read this. We’re at a point where we have to memorize how think critically: it’s mind boggling. College Board designs the classes just for an arbitrary exam, so when we enter college expecting to be well-prepared, we’re shocked because AP is not really at the college level.

this is all so true. ap classes are a struggle and they don’t even teach that much at the end of the day because everyone’s worried about the grade or the test score, not about actually learning the material.
