#1: MYTHS ABOUT ACSI: DEBUNKED!!!

MYTH: High IB scores because IB is easy!!!

Legend has it that far away

in the plains of ACS, as they say,

the common-folk summon mystical powers

that magically lengthen the hours

and dark forces of procrastination are gone

you’ll never find yourself working till dawn! Don’t worry, you’ve got this, sit back and chill

EETOKIA is but a tiny molehill

You’ll cross while perambulating these verdant fields

and 45 points is what you’ll yield

FACT: Just kidding!

The ~magical mist~ must have fogged up your eyes You’ve been fooled by our previous lies When the mist clears you’ll realize you’ve made a mistake IB will actually make your heart break Once and twice and over again It may seem like an eternity… but THEN before you know it you’ve passed the peak Maybe everything wasn’t all that bleak the fact remains: EETOKIA’s a mountain

the road up is full of tribulation

People work extremely hard To get that grade printed on their report card There is no shortcut to the top Not even Sharpay can bop bop bop!

MYTH: The girls’ IB uniform is extremely flattering

Sleek and slender, the uniform will render you a feminine vision of splendor

The epitome of grace and class Of which no other school’s uniform can surpass Golden silk adorns your neck There is nothing that this uniform lacks Untucked blouse in all its glory Puts it in its own category ACS girls, behold

The uniform that never grows old.

FACT: Just kidding! [if !supportLineBreakNewLine] [endif]

Contrary to what it seems in Dover, you’ll often wear your pullover over

trying to hide your gestating food baby

while keeping up the appearances of a lady

confidence is key on this terrain

it’s one of the lessons you will gain

Among many others, as you shall see, Our advice? Just let the uniform be.

MYTH: A super glamorous life awaits you every day at AC!!! HD photos and videos galore

cinematic quality that you’ve never seen before uploaded by your seniors on their Facebook accounts depicting their fun in extreme amounts sunset and sunrise on the Astroturf house flags mounted on the walls above good-looking seniors on every level aesthetic value in which you’ll revel [if !supportLineBreakNewLine] [endif]

FACT: Just kidding! What you see is a highlight reel Those photos just aren’t the real deal Everyday life isn’t easily captured

Despite previously being enraptured Instagram filters don’t apply to reality, even if you try.

But don’t live AC through the camera lens Go out, go make your own friends! Your memories aren’t stored in another’s point-and-shoot It’s in your heart that they’ll take root

Photos can’t do justice to the ambience You need to live it, the AC experience.
