People whine about how hard Enloe is all the time and I am sick of it. The kids who complain about the difficulty bring it on themselves. They are so worn out because they have no social lives and needlessly spend all their time on school work.

all the way! and i don't even go there. perhaps i have too much time on my hands, but i read the class rank debate and really, why don't you look at college acceptance rates from enloe before you start complaining about everything?
PEOPLE WHO WHINE ABOUT WHINERS ARE NO LESS WHINEY THAN THE WHINERS THEY WHINE ABOUT!
Okay, so getting randomly selected by the computer for Dr. Bell's class is the student's fault when everyone is required to take English?
We needlessly spend all our time on school work?
I'd like to see you finish an essay, a practice AP exam, and a couple large projects. In one weekend. Without spending most of your time either working on it or stressing about it.
Sure, we make choices to get into the classes, but once we're in, there's no getting out.
And then there's the fact that maybe we want to do something with our lives, so taking as many challenging courses as we do helps us prepare for later on in life.
...Or something like that.
I agree. I'm in five AP classes and I have a life. People just like to play the victim.
Oh, and I forgot to mention. I'm IB too.
what you call "needlessly spending time" is what we call "working now so we can succeed later in life". we know what we're getting ourselves into, and we have no regrets, but eveyone likes to whine sometimes. i agree with #s 2 and 4-6. some of us do have social lives, just we don't let that take up all our time. in 20 years, that kind of thing won't matter. doing well so we can get into a good college and then get a good job will matter. enough said.
yay, people do agree with me.
Word.
Manage your time.
Four AP's and a life.
Yeah.
4 APs, varsity sport year round and a life. + time to read this site.
Just manage your time.
yeah, i hate when people complain about having too much work, when they really probably just don't manage their time well.
And i hate how everyone thinks that to be sucessful in school (grades-wise) you must sacrifice a social life. I have good grades w/ lots of AP classes, and I have fun, i don't sit in front of my computer all day doing stuff.
how about 6 APs? what then? and don't give me this bullshit about bringing it upon yourself. Its called I have asian parents and a sister who push me into numerous things. Plus, to succeed at all at Enloe you have to take APs, and if you don't your guaranteed to not get into a very good college. I want to go to a good college, i go to enloe. therefore I have a lot of work and have earned the right to whine. thus the site is called tangst. get over it.
You think Enloeites who don't take AP's don't get into college?
Haha, that's a good one.
Get straight A's, maybe a few B's, take what you can, and many colleges will be happy to see you in their dorms.
Granted, that won't fly if you're looking toward the ivy covered wall, but if you're plannign on doing grad school, that doesn't matter so much. There are many good, non-ivy, undergrad schools that are happy to see a straight-A student and will prep you quite well for grad school someplace else.
Agreed.
If you think that students who do well at Enloe in non-AP classes don't get into college, I've got a map and directions to a certain pool under the East gym I'd be willing to sell you.
Then again, to those crazy AP people's credit, it can become exceedingly difficult to get into the iv leagues and such. And those "under iv leagues" that people talk about are colleges like Northwestern University and Washington University in St. Louis, which require very good grades to get into.
You do bring some of it on yourself, and I think that you should be comfortable with your work load. So you stop whining, but to you guys saying it's not hard to get into college, some people just don't understand having UNC as a definite safety college.
Okay i completely agree,
I've taken basically all the APs i can and i've gotten As in all of them... and i can't ever remember TRULY working hard.
I mean, every once in a while there's a weekend where i have a couple essays or something to study for; but i do them, and i study, and then i'm done.
I think i'm that person that gets As all the time without working for them that everyone hates, sorry...
