I hate the idea that if your good at academics and studying, you cant simultaneously be creative. Like I'm really good at schoolwork but I also do art, theatre, and play several instruments yet I'm not "creative" and since I'm a "gifted kid" my friends automatically label as "the smart one" or a "nerd' and most of them don't know about my creative side.

Can't believe I've found this chat. Answering the question on the first post, I'm the kid who has slowly lost any and all motivation over the years when it comes to school thanks to all the pressure put on me to do well.
So am I!
I was doing great up until maybe 4th or 5th grade, when it started to go downhill, and by 6th grade, I was hardly doing anything
I'm still proud of my 6th grade recreation of the explosion of Mt. Vesuvius, though, I used real volcanic ash for that shit and got an A
That's very cool Ash! But I have a question tho. Did anyone here take an AP exam? I just got my scores back, and I am very surprised. I'm not asking you to share scores, I'm just wondering if you thought it was really easy for some reason.
(Though, if you do ask me my score, I will gladly share it. 😊)

I'm proud of you too.
I took AP Human Geography (which was hell) and I passed the test so that’s good
I had so many breakdowns over that class on god.

My bitch ass took 9 AP classes lmao
They only offered two AP classes last year at my school. This year I think it’s just one which is AP World History so hopefully I’ll like it because I love most history classes.

I was basically told that if I didn’t take a million AP classes I wouldn’t get into the colleges I wanted… And also that they help knock out a bunch of college. Now I know that is untrue. Like maybe half of my courses counted in college?
Im gonna make a promise to myself that i will probally break

This year im gonna actually study instead of just trying to remember stuff the first time i hear it

I genuinely wish you good luck. It’s a hard habit to break. Heck, I’m 20 and I’m still guilty of it.

Although how does one actually study???
How do y’all still pass without studying???
group
My brain puts 100% effort into memorizing facts in class and 0% effort into remembering my mom telling me to do the dishes smh
group
And I do study, I just have sucky study skills.

Same! I also got a 4 on the AP Environmental Science exam and that was surprising for me 😂 I b.s.ed my way through it.
How do y’all still pass without studying???
I have a photographic memory. I look at it once and retain it. It's a blessing and a curse.
How do y’all still pass without studying???
Im apparently just really smart, but i almost fail half the time because i dont care
I'm in all the top classes for freshman year, any advice or study tips besides just memorizing?
