"All these AP classes and no time"

All these AP classes and no time,
I was sure to lose my mind.
Dropping a class wouldn't be a harsh crime
Or the end of mankind.

I went to my guidance counselor to relieve me of my stress
But she denied me the chance to take the easy way out.
So I was stuck in a big mess.
Another plan was what I needed to come about.

During the week, I have to lock myself in my room
And I have to learn to avoid all possible distractions.
This may sound like doom
But staying home during the weekends is a possible option.

I was not expecting to spend my senior year like this
With more work than what came with my other three years of highschool.
But a proper education is something I don't want to miss
Even if all this difficult work make me feel like a fool.

"Those were my two options"

Hit that party or get my rest for the SAT exam
Those were my two options.
As I began to embrace boredom, I found myself in a jam.
Was I about to commit the wrong actions?

I thought deeply about my upcoming decision.
"I could take the next one in November," I told my mother.
The thoughts in my mind crashed into a collision.
My struggle to be forced to make up my mind became a heavy bother.

Soon enough my brain began to function
And I began to favor the more responsible plan.
I answered my own question
I went to sleep early that night to wake up a well rested man.

It was Saturday morning and I was on my way to the school
So what if I didn't go out last night? At least I was ready.
If I didnt get my rest, I would have been a fool
