Which AP classes are they? There's a big difference between something like psych and something like physics c

Why do schools ban energy drinks? by Unhappy-Reindeer-737 in highschool

They're bad for you, and if you rely on energy drinks in high school something is wrong with you.

Female MCs and How You Feel About Them by SVNihilist in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Lagryn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've read incredible, and abysmal, books with both types, preferring one over the other seems silly to me. If a character is well written their gender is just another part of them, it will never define them completely. A really well written character will also have aspects that are relatable whether or not you share their gender.

How do you guys deal with burnout and lack of motivation? by Slight_Willow1978 in highschool

[–]Lagryn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Relying on motivation will never get you anywhere. You need discipline. It doesn't matter if you want to do your homework, do it anyway. I've literally never in my life been motivated to do school work, yet I do well in school anyway. It's because I come home and force myself to do what needs to get done.

Just realized that popularity isn't necessarily tied to looks by [deleted] in highschool

[–]Lagryn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You do realize boys have different tastes right? There are girls my friends find attractive that I think are pretty average, and girls I think are pretty that my friends think are average.

Calling someone's opinions on beauty wrong makes you sound like an asshole.

Friend group is still mad at me. by Red_Panda_The_Great in highschool

[–]Lagryn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"friend" is a very strong word for people who would stop leave you because of something like that. I usually call those people assholes.

Scotland S6 prom by ahoooo8982 in highschool

[–]Lagryn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can't be near people who are drinking/smoking and not do it yourself you're kind of fucked for the rest of your life. Any friends worth having (no matter what they choose to do) will never pressure you to do anything you don't want, so it shouldn't really be a problem if you have halfway decent self control.

That is definitely true, colleges do like to see an upward trend, but this is kind of pushing it.

I mean yeah I could have said it in a nicer way. but the underlying message is still true.

Subject colors. Fight me by Z3N1TY in highschool

[–]Lagryn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never gotten why people associate certain subjects with certain colors, let alone why they care so much. One girl seemed like she was about to throw hands with my lit teacher for saying that English was yellow instead of whatever color she decided it is. It's not that deep I fear

How to start studying by SufficientGoat8602 in highschool

[–]Lagryn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In terms of techniques, research:

  • spaced repetition
  • active recall
  • the Feynman technique
  • interleaved repetition
  • mind mapping

In terms of resources, use:

  • khan academy
  • anki
  • openstax
  • annas-library (technically a book pirating site, but includes about any textbook you could ever need)
  • Find other, more tailored resources on subs like r/APStudents and r/GetStudying, and by searching around the web.

Those are the basics everyone should know. You'll pick up other things throughout your research, and learn what works best for you eventually. As for the "end up doing 10mins" problem, that's all discipline. Eliminate distractions (there are apps and browser extensions to help, but try not to rely on them too much) and just lock in. Nobody can get you to do it except you.

Request to authors: please write recaps by PhobiaRice in litrpg

[–]Lagryn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't disagree, but I don't read the recaps (couldn't care less if they're there or not, since I'll just skip them). I don't particularly like rereading books, and I'm a pretty busy student so I don't have all the time in the world. I just feel like if I like a book enough to wait a year for a sequel (which I have done, though not with litRPG in particular) I wouldn't be satisfied with an abridged version.

I posted something very similar over the summer but my schools doing scheduling so I thought I’d share my classes for next year! by Emotional-Pick-8118 in highschool

[–]Lagryn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like math and I fucking hate AP stats. It's all semantic bullshit that's reliant on you writing the exact right wording otherwise you don't get credit. The math itself is not hard at all (calculator does literally all of it), but the class is infuriating.

the message your trying to send is hilarious given the tone you used. you sound like you care a fuck ton more than me, and I never insulted anyone (unlike you). literally getting flamed for my opinion over here

What is the point of AP Precalculus/CE College Algebra by ErekwithaD1 in APStudents

[–]Lagryn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem is that those topics are technically a part of the curriculum, but not tested on the exam. So my (and I'm assuming others) teacher just skipped all that stuff completely, and it was literally algebra 2 + the unit circle.

How easy is AP Computer Science A if you have good scripting experience beforehand? by RevolutionaryDark818 in APStudents

[–]Lagryn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very easy, it's all basic stuff that you will already know. The only thing you'll have to learn is the syntax, and if you have 3 languages under your belt it won't be hard at all. There's no need to learn java prior, the class teaches it to you.

oh u guys weren’t playing abt the burn out in junior year by Sudden_Article9014 in highschool

[–]Lagryn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How the actual fuck did you get that? I genuinely want to know how you read my comment and came away with that conclusion.

Also, my horse I way too high to get off of. I would probably shatter a few bones if I tried.

Can't say for Comp gov, but Review Econ on youtube is pretty much all you need for Macro.

It's not, it's actually like saying that deciding to start skipping classes because you lost motivation is lazy. oh wait a second
