Junior (11 out of 12) here
Taking all the advanced placement classes I can, ie Math, Science, English
Dont bother with after-school activities
I can hang out with whoever I want, one day I hang out with the popular kids, the next with some of the scene kids, then the nerds, etc. I'm pretty much able to talk to anyone at my school. (not the creepy hanging out in the background where everyone avoids me)
