Yay, it’s summer! It’s that time of the year again where kids lose their brains, forget about school, and unwind on their lifestyle. Some may see summer as an opportunity to live out their dreams, some may see summer as an opportunity to just live at home and do nothing. Whatever you do, do yourself a favor and find an activity to do something productive. Time wasted is time never earned back.

When transitioning from middle school to high school, how do you decide which classes to take? There are the classes with the big, important names like “college prep” or “advanced.” Then there are the slower paced classes, the easy gym classes, the classes with the crazy teacher…the options go on and on. And really, at that point in your life, do you know what you want to do when you’re older, what you want your major to be in college? Probably not, I know I sure didn’t. I recommend getting the basics-take four years of all academics.

Sometimes I wish that those kids who don’t care were allowed to be hit by teachers. I sat through an entire year of AP U.S. History next to a kid that didn’t read one chapter out of the 950 page book and scored better on every test than I did. Well, you can’t whack them on the head for getting lucky, so how do you put up with those rotten kids?! I’m an extremely impatient person myself and I also enjoy doing well on tests that I study hard for. I’ll give you a few types of kids that you’ll find in your AP classes and some tips on how to deal with them.

Time management skills, while hard to keep up with, are essential skills for effective people. Especially during times of applying for colleges and having to balance work, sports, activities, and school, gaining time management is important for teenagers. People who use these techniques become highly successful.

Dealing with people you do not get along with is a common issue for teenagers as well as adults. However, as much as most would like to just walk away from the person, a lot of times it is someone we have to deal with on a daily basis. Whether it’s a teacher, employer, co-worker, it’s someone you have to be involved with. The best ways to deal with these types of situations is to remain optimistic and calm. If you are able to do this, then the next step would be to try and talk to the person to resolve your differences.

For those of you in your junior and senior years of high school, it's game time. Not only are the grade reports from these two years the most important of the four in college admissions, but it's your 11th and 12th grade teachers who will be writing (or not writing) your recommendation letters. The fact that you're even visiting this site attests your will to succeed, and I'm assuming you have your eyes on some prestigious university--one that inspires "oohs" and "aahs" at it's mere mention.

AP vs. Prep

Many students seem to fear the word AP as it is portrayed as a place for "smart students" due to its college level curriculum. On the other hand, many students classify others who don't take AP classes during their junior and senior year as "dumb". Now…what is the real deal between AP classes and prep classes? Let's make a comparison:

People tell you constantly how these are the most important years or your existence. Why? Well, because what you're doing right now is paving the foundations you'll be standing on, clinging, and reverting back to for the rest of your life: you've been exposed to the world and you're evaluating it based on your own experiences, your likes and dislikes, your virtues and your standards. Your character is now well defined in that you have a sense of who you are, what you want, what you stand for, and where you fit into this fray called life.

A Word on Review Books

If you've already taken some AP courses in the past, you probably know about the enormous catalog of AP review books that are available for purchasing and, hopefully, that most of them are useless. I remember in high school I would often go to the library and rent out a sizable selection of AP review books, go home, and leave them collecting dust for two weeks. I would do this often and either never read them, or realize that they did not help the slightest bit. Here are some pointers:

Perfect Peers

By the time you get into high school, you’ve started to take notice to who your friends are. You’ve probably already got a really good group that you know will have your back until the end of time. But then you get put in different classes, have different lunch periods, and your lockers are on the opposite ends of the school. So you try to keep in touch, promise you won’t let anything come between you, and always tell them you’ll make time. However, there is absolutely nothing wrong with making new friends.
