Classes are so boring
Classes can feel really dull sometimes. It’s frustrating when we spend what feels like forever revisiting a concept we covered in depth just a week ago, especially after taking detailed notes and reviewing it multiple times. What do you do to keep yourself occupied during those stretches?
It’s definitely a common belief that junior year can be one of the toughest years in high school, and there are a few reasons for that.
Firstly, junior year often involves a heavier course load, especially if you’re taking honors classes. These classes can be more challenging, requiring more time and effort than standard courses.
Secondly, it’s the year that many students start preparing for college entrance exams, like the ACT. The pressure to perform well can add to the stress, as it’s often seen as a crucial factor in college admissions.
Additionally, some students start to feel the weight of their future plans and begin thinking more seriously about their post-high school options. This can create anxiety about academics, extracurriculars, and grades.
That said, everyone’s experience is different. Some students thrive in junior year and rise to the challenge, while others may feel overwhelmed. If you’re considering honors classes, think about your study habits, your passion for the subjects, and how you manage stress. It might also be helpful to talk to teachers or students who have gone through it. Remember, it’s all about finding the right balance for you!
