deal with stress and the time crunch of AP exams falling right after prom, leaving them with little to no time for studying. I have friends who are taking the AP Government exam on Monday who will have to miss out on their post-prom plans because of the exam timing. I think the school should have taken AP exams into account when they were scheduling when prom would be.

     It is understandable for this schedule to seem reasonable as exams begin two full days after prom will be held, but it is still a struggle with the majority of people planning trips for the weekend and having to worry about exams. Prom weekend is a time where upperclassmen should feel free of worry about classes or exams, and the AP exams are making that difficult. 

     This scheduling is also bringing forth another problem for students, especially seniors. Prom makes it very difficult to care about AP exams when they are in the way of something more enjoyable. I personally have struggled a lot with senioritis this year, and AP exams sort of just feel like one last obstacle to get around before graduation. Because of that, they’re already hard to care about, and having prom at the same time makes it even harder.

     Rose tends to struggle with scheduling events at bad times, and this is definitely one of those cases. Prom should be a time of fun and celebration as the school year comes to an end, and AP exams are putting a damper on the fun that could be had. Prom will still be enjoyable, but the exams can still cause stress that should not be present during a memorable event.
