I’m young, I just hate the way people dress. If you’re not going to be flamboyant and expressive, then be bland and make your clothes fit.

I don’t mind the look of skinny jeans but most time they’re far too tight, and extremely uncomfortable. I did try on a pair recently that actually felt really nice, but the pockets were so small, it was like they forgot they were supposed to be men’s pants. Maybe one day I’ll find a good pair, but until then I guess I’ll have to put myself on team anti-skinny jeans.

I agree with every word of this.

Wait you also recently tried on a comfortable pair with pathetic pockets? Weird.

Or maybe he’s just agreeing that the pair you tried on had pathetic pockets. Even weirder

I don’t like skinny jeans.
Ugh, me neither, I see them so much. I always go for the baggiest, thickest, clothes I can find, and all my friends say I look like a stereotypical drug dealer.
This is just as bad. I don’t know why people can’t just wear clothes that fit anymore.
Oh no, my pants do fit me, around the waist and don’t got over my shoes and stuff, but they’re quite baggy, which I feel is much more comfortable than wearing tight pants. Same goes for shirts and jackets, I much prefer warmth to looking fashionable.
Not enough people read the EU.

I want to fucking reset the play count of multiple songs in iTunes, but iTunes has removed the ability for me to do this and I can’t find a workaround.
I have a serious first-world problem here 😉 😄.

The new version of iTunes removed that.

Ah, so, it has returned. I’m a brainless fucking idiot. Carry on.
Unfortunately, now they’ve removed the ability to sync apps, and I have no idea if there’s a new program or what, judging by what’s on Apple’s official website, there’s not.

I see. And suppose it was easier to keep them Organized moving them in iTunes and then syncing them up? And now iOS 11 has removed the useful features on the keyboard! Does Apple test any of this before unleashing it on an unsuspecting public?

Something came up today that drew me to this delightful thread.
My AP teachers seem to be unaware that I have 6 classes I’m taking at the same time, not just theirs.
For about the fifth time this week, I heard a teacher argue how easy homework is to fit into one’s schedule. They say something like “Oh class, don’t feel cheated, I only give 30 minutes of homework a night.” That would be just fantastic if I only took your class. But every one of my other teachers has the same exact mindset so that daily 30 minutes of homework turns into daily 3 hour sessions for homework.
Sorry for the whining. I am just low on sleep, have a quiz every other day for one of my classes, and am drained and hearing my teachers try to trivialize it just put me over the edge (which basically means I’m angry enough to post on a forum).
EDIT:
I think I realized the issue started at the time when I signed up for 5 AP classes. My friends all take regular classes and are at standard math level, and when I see what their homework and classes are like, it makes me jealous. One regular history teacher said that the AP teacher is probably better, but you learn more in his class (he was half joking in an attempt to get me into his class since I know him well) and it actually makes perfect sense. You spend more time on each topic, have less busy work and you get to really focus on learning something to the fullest. An AP stacked schedule just burns me out. I am actually quite curious what all of ya’ll think of schooling in general.

That’s way too much homework. You’re already spending eight hours a day at school, why intrude the other part of your life with three hours of work?
I am sympathetic.

Thanks. And I want to make sure that ya’ll know I actually don’t have issues with public school. I used to hate it but after sitting in on one of my friends non-AP classes and seeing what his homework was, I actually realized this is an issue specifically with students pressured by parents to take an AP loaded schedule. Even at college, my sister says it’s already clear how much better it is. She is almost always fully rested since she got to pick her class times. She goes to a fraction of the school I go to every week, and she really enjoys her classes.
It’s just that me and a lot of my peers give in to pressure and take a ton of AP’s. But I honestly think if I took all regular classes, I would have learned and retained so much more, and would end up looking back at school as a challenging but fulfilling use of my time. Right now everything is just a means to an end. Another worksheet every second to mindlessly search for answers as I think about nothing but my grade.

Regular classes are full of dummies, it’s kind of shocking. I don’t think you’d enjoy high school either way. I took a mix of APs and regulars and got nothing out of it.

I can’t remember what year you are, but the real benefit of AP courses is college credit. If you know where you might want to go, look into whether they accept AP credits for the courses you’re taking - that might be a big factor in whether you think they’re actually worth it or not. My AP credits added up to a full semester, so I was able to graduate in 3.5 years which saved me a shit ton of money.
The other thing would be if your school does a weighted GPA, at which point you have to figure if it’s really worth however much it’ll affect your GPA/class rank (which, again is only important insofar as the schools you want to go to and what they’re looking for), and also you kinda have to think about whether you’d get a lower grade in an AP class and whether GPA-wise if that’d still be higher than a better grade in a lower level class.
Ultimately, like I said it comes down to what kind of school you want to go to and what kind of scholarships you might want to look into. That will determine if the workload is actually worth it or not.

Hey, 3 hours plus the 8 you spend at school is only 11 hours of your day, and you only need 8 hours of sleep. Really, the teachers should be giving you much more homework; who knows what could happen if students were to have, god forbid, free time?! 😛

Your basically qualified to be a AP teacher!
Jokes aside, this is how I think some adults actually think about us students. I always feel like a lab rat just being molded and stimulated and controlled in the most optimal way for success to make my parents look good and satisfy everyone.
I just want to live a happy life.
