I recommend speaking to your school’s advisor or career planner, but if they suck or are non-existent, I understand why you’d ask the interwebs for help.
Colleges require a certain number of credits in order for you to graduate. Your decided major may require credits specifically in foreign language to get your degree. In order to get credits you either take classes in college, take AP courses in high school, take classes in community college, or high school courses that give college credits (I guess your Spanish class does this). I got my degree in Biology, and I needed to take 2 semesters of a foreign language (mine was Spanish). My friends who are mostly in STEM also needed foreign language credits for their degrees. I didn’t take AP Spanish, but I received college credit in other courses in high school, and this let me graduate early, but also pace myself in college, which I found immensely helpful.
Advantage of sticking with your Spanish class:
• Potentially graduate earlier (dependent on your major and university)
o Also you save money and time
• Have a more chill time in college (you don’t have to take a foreign language in college, but that depends if your major even needs it)
• Have a second language, and communicate with Spanish people
Advantage of dropping now:
• Short term comfort
• Have a more chill time in High School
• More time to play Gmod
Alternate option:
• Pick a different foreign language
• Switch to a different teacher
