Are you a former AP kid?
My professor asked me this today.
Here are some hallmarks of a former AP kid:
- crippling anxiety
- perfectionist tendencies
- procrasta-planning but not actually doing the work
- intense depression
- can never sleep through the night
- regrets worrying so much about these stupid tests instead of enjoying high school
- super attached to the outcome and not the process
- on an endless cycle of self-improvement but never feeling any progress
- constant quarter life crisis
