With graduation, AP exams, and the pressure of trying to raise grades at the last minute, many students at Jenks High School are feeling overwhelmed. However, it’s important to make sure that our mental health remains a priority. As someone who has experienced their mental health deteriorate, I’ve found that one of the most calming ways to regain a sense of balance and peace is baking. To help you feel a little less stressed during these times, I’m going to provide a list of recipes along with how I felt both before and after each time I baked.

When selecting an AP class for your schedule, you often have benefits in mind, whether it’s an increased GPA or college preparation. But how does the number of AP classes you select affect your stress level? As a Junior who has taken 1 AP class in the past two years, I would like to determine the different factors of an AP class and the amount of stress a student may face depending on the number of classes they take. By surveying students at Jenks High School, I will be able to obtain a general idea of the stress levels an AP student experiences.
