A class which consists of offtopic class discussions, sleeping and tests/quizes on material unrelated and not covered by homework or assigned reading

A year of regret, tears, no sleep, late nights filled with nightmares of Lyndon B. Johnson, migraines, procrastination, excessive notecards, useless annotations, mental breakdowns, falling GPAs, learning about American assholes, slowly watching your sanity disappear, questioning if Hamilton was president, lack of a social life, overthinking every single test question, calculating how many questions you can get wrong to avoid tedious review questions, and the approaching AP exam consisting of 55 multiple choice questions, 1 long essay, 4 short answers, and to top off this cruel and unusual punishment, the dreaded DBQ is the poisonous cherry on top. Basically the definition of the worst year of your life. Just hope that your teacher kirvs your grade at the end.

the hardest class to ever exist, usually taken in junior year. Typically, one spends a minimum of four hours per night reading historical-sounding literature and writing essay-length responses to study questions and definitions created by the Devil himself in order to pass. The teacher then picks random students to read out their essays and assigns them a grade based on how much they like/dislike the student. Students often fall asleep in this class due to the tedious amount of homework, and the students who manage to stay awake either didn't do the homework or copied. After about eight tedious assignments and readings, the students take a test which consists of multiple-choice questions based on minor details and an essay in which in order to get an A, the student is expected to spit back the teacher's exact views on the topic. In this class, 70 is the new 100. Anyone who manages to get an A in this class is either:
* A cheater
* A future history major
* Has no life
* Sucks the teacher's dick
* A motherfucking sorcerer

A synonym for hell. If you sign up for AP United States History, better known to all those who suffer through it as APUSH, be prepared for late nights, little sleep, painful migranes and the occasional little voice inside your head that reminds you about how stupid you are. Also be aware and mentally prepared for the 3 hour and 15 minute midterm, final and AP exam that includes 60 multiple choice questions as well as two free response questions and last but not least, the dreaded DBQ.

A class encouraging you to commit suicide. If you are thinking about thinking this class, do not take this class. Its not too late for you. Unless you're some smart ass who knows absaloutely everything about anything in the history of the United States. If you are now taking this class, prepare for staying up til 3 in the morning to do homework you will end up getting a 60% on. Hah. Good luck. Side effects to this class include- depression, cancer, death.

Something most go into completely oblivious to the mountainous workload and gradual toll on sanity. Say farewell to sleep and hair. Don't be cocky and take it just because you can-it's not worth the GPA. Some schools' apush classes are entirely comprised of these brave sophomores that whine 24/7. Book is a literary work written by Harvard professors that have nothing better to do then add to their credentials. Your eyes glaze over 5 minutes into reading a chapter. stupid 'HUSH' students laugh in your face while they do skits and debate across the hall. BSing on the test does not work; crazy old history junky/hag/ghost whisperer teachers can see into your soul. Don't take it if you can, but I forgot, you're an HONORS studennt. Take it, but don't say I didn't warn you.

A common torture mechanism used by the CIA in order to laugh at the hell they go through. Very agonizing process which lasts a whole school year but feels like a century. Halfway through the semester, it is said that students begin to hallucinate seeing Abraham Lincoln at night. PLEASE DO
