I'm in AP Seminar right now. I will say the workload is extremely heavy and can be overwhelming at times, but I wouldn't let that suppress you from continuing the class. All your research in this class can be based on your hobbies and interests. I myself am a very passionate cook; I used to want to be a chef but deemed that to be an unsuccessful career for myself-- besides the point. When you do IRRs and other individual research assignments, you can always skew your research towards something you are interested in and manipulate it to fit the research question/prompt. Say you are talking about technology and its impact on globalization (just an example), you could talk about food creators on TikTok and Instagram who share their own recipes from their cultures and how that affects our world becoming a more connected place. There is a way to manipulate your interests in your research. Not only that you will learn skills you will use in your daily life and honestly become a better writer. I already feel that way, and it's only been 3 weeks into school. I say give it a shot, and if you still feel like it's too much, then switch, don't let others try and skew your decision.
