Whether you are like me and function best when your room is in casual disarray, cluttered desk and all, is of little consequence. There is no avoiding the necessity of planning out the next four years.
Why, you ask?
There are infinite possibilities when it comes to pre-college routes: AP European History, or AP Human Geography? Mock Trial or Baseball? Summer program at Northwestern University or internship at NIH? Your high school career is brief and a single misstep could leave you desperate for one of those coveted Time-Turners.
"What? Why does my schedule say Ancient Mediterranean Civilizations?"
"We couldn't fit you anywhere else."
"Law? AP Psychology? Model United Nations?"
"No, no, and...no."
Because I know you were wondering, AMC involves the history of classical civilizations. It's an extensive study of topics including the Roman-Carthaginian rivalry, the Hellenistic Period, and the Persian Empire extending from the Indus Valley to Thrace and Macedon.
I really wish I didn't know that.
