I’m sure you’ve heard all about the “Trifecta.” The Triple Threat. Triathlon; Troubling Three. They should hire me to come up with names. I was fairly convinced “the Trifecta” was something in basketball, or maybe the witches from Macbeth, but apparently it’s the combination of Honors Chemistry, Honors Algebra II, and AP Euro. If accounts are to be believed, they’ll either make your life a living hell or be the best classes you’ve ever taken. They are probably pretty similar in difficulty to the first week of junior year. So, being a naïve and impressionable freshman, you’ve decided to ask for my expert advice on whether you should take it. Well, first of all, I am decidedly not the right person to ask. I, first of all, did not take the Trifecta and, second of all, do not have your best interests at heart.
My advice is to simply skip sophomore year. Honestly, what could you possibly learn that you couldn’t make up at 2:00 AM the morning before your junior year exams? Take the year off to see the world. Your youth is slipping away, and if you haven’t cured cancer and found true love by 16, are you even really living? You can’t do those things while completing sophomore year. When you’re an old and seasoned 17-year-old, like me, you’ll understand the important things in life. Frankly, knowing the foundations of math is just not one of them. Sophomore year is your time to find the weird talent that will make you rich and famous on the internet. If books and movies are to be believed, any adventures you’re going to have in your life will happen about then. Do you really want to be doing your AP Euro homework when someone comes to ask you to save Narnia? Do the responsible thing and drop out.
