- My friend Jina sent me this lovely list about AP students and I found it extremely funny and you will most likely find it funny also.31. You find yourself complaining to everyone how much homework you have... when you should be off facebook doing it.
1.You know AP actually stands for “Advanced Procrastinator.”
2.You could have done your homework at home but you prefer the pressure of getting it done two periods before its due.
3.Studying consists of furiously glancing over your notes the period before the test.
4.“Not a lot of homework” means: 10 chemistry problems, calc homework (that you won’t do anyways), a 15 page story to read in the Lit book, and studying for a French quiz.
5.You don’t think of it as “cheating”, you think of it as “cooperative learning.”

23. The probablity of your homework getting done depends more on your mood than the fact that it needs to be done.
24. You find yourself arguing for points not because you genuinely feel that you are right, but because you know that one more point will boost your grade letter.
25. You consider anything below a B to be a bad grade.
26. You spend a few hours doing optional and bonus assignments you don't actually need to do just because it will boost your grade which will in turn raise your GPA and class rank.
27. People ask you how you manage an AP class you just say "It's easy" when on the inside you are screaming bloody murder.
28. You watch TV or do other random things until 10pm then complain the next day about doing homework at 2am.

30. You have four projects due the following day, but instead of doing them you go on Facebook to talk to anyone who will answer.
