I often ate in class in high school so that my lunch period - enforced - would be free to do what I pleased. As long as you didn't eat something noisy like chips, teachers were generally indifferent.

We each only took 1 AP course (US History) and 1 Honors course (Physics). The rest of our friends piled on with Honors and AP classes for bio, chem, lit, etc. And yet somehow my friend and I managed to get into good schools. Plus, said friend also was accepted to Harvard Law School. Somehow she didn't ruin her future by refusing to pile on the advanced classes in high school. She's managed to do well so far. (I, on the other hand, am still working out my grad school goals...) My best friend and I were such relative slackers in high school.
