Starting junior year, stressful? Options

[Tomates]

Alrighty so i will be a junior officially tomorrow.
Im really nervous about it, especially throughout the year and what it will be like.
People have told me that their junior year has been their most favourite year and a really easy year.
I mean i see it as a lot of stressfull work and homework with not much of a life and trying to get college crap ready and even more importantly ACT's.

So to me i have no idea what their thinking or what its like to them.

What was your junior Year of highschool like?

well im deffinatly not taking any AP classes or college classes. My mom was actually the one who told me to try not to take them which is completely fine with me because ive heard some of my friends who have either barely passed one or say that it was really hard and even now my friends are completly stressing over them and school hasnt even started yet.
Also nor am i having a job during the school year so that should make things easier.

Your junior year sounds like it will be fine, then. I think you should have taken at least one AP, although those actually don't matter that much. I'm guessing your friends loaded themselves with three or more AP classes each. All you really need to do is excel in all your classes so that your GPA will be high.

woops i always add an extra f or something to things when i type too fast

I would take an AP class but i dont always handle stress in a good way, plus in the past two years ive had classes that seemed like AP classes. I know some of my frienads are taking 2-3 ap classes and an honors class which to me is just nuts. Plus my mom told me that its better to ace a regular class and have that on your record then to bad on an AP class. Im aware that having an AP class will look good on your record and all but it cant look good if you didnt do well in it. Also im not saying that everyone will fail their AP class. Plus i do tennis and the thing is, if you get a c- or lower you are suspended from the team until you get your grade up and i dont want to have to deal with that, especially since this year i have a potential of getting a good spot since i was 4th singles last year. SO i dont want to mess that up.
