Me fail English? That unpossible! — Ralph Wiggum

Why wouldn't you take AP English is the Real Question



  1. You have something to talk about. Anytime. All the time. Whenever there’s an awkward moment... bring up AP English and that’ll get the conversation going! Awkward date… English is a go to topic. Come on, you know it’s cool.
  2. You can get stickers!! If you’re good, all the time, if you’re not so good, it’s an anomaly, but hey, stickers rock no matter what!
  3. Pull multiple all nighters! Remember when we were little and we would have sleepovers and brag about our all nighters? You’re guaranteed all nighters on nights before data sheets are due.
  4. Has someone told you that you need to get your heart rate up more often? You thinking of joining a sports team or exercise club? Don’t! Take AP English! That’ll make your heart race.
  5. Multiple-choice game day. Yes, just these four days out of the school year should convince a sophomore to take AP English.
  6. Do you really dislike a student that is planning on taking regular or honors English next year? Have them sit with you in commons and bring a bunch of AP English students to your table. You’ll annoy them in less than 5 minutes, which for you will probably be quite enjoyable.
  7. You get to feel really smart, knowing you’re in class with some of the smartest kids in the school.  Or….it  could be the opposite and you could feel really stupid when compared to the other smart kids. But hey, you learn to laugh at yourself and your foolish mistakes. It builds character.
  8. Snow days... so boring right? Like I want to do more work. Well, lucky for you, Ms. Serensky sends e-mails with extra work to do! Yay!
  9. What’s the last subject related field trip you went on? I bet it wasn’t as good as our trip to see Othello. English field trips are the best.
  10. Two words. One name. Bobbie Jo.

  2. Chris, I just laughed out loud (lol-ed, as the kids are calling it nowadays). I, too, love the picture. It makes me so joyful. I also liked your blog, well done Jillian, all around a good read.

  3. Jillian, though I fear that you might not live to see tomorrow, I too really enjoyed this picture. I found the overall blog quite humorous, very entertaining read all around. I have to agree with the last bullet though, the picture says it all.

  4. Jill, I laughed at number 1 because it is so true. Our friends are constantly talking about some aspect of the class during commons and on the weekends, and the ones who aren't in the class get really annoyed and question our weird obsession. The picture? You're a huge creep. How did you find this?!!
