m. watch youtube videos
n. i don't really watch much tv, but i like Greys Anatomy, Mythbusters, and Dirty Jobs
o. cinematographer or work in an editing suite for movies or tv
p. buy a nice DSLR camera, books for my mom's library at the private school she works at, pay for my college education, save the rest for my house payments when i buy a house some day or something
q. get someone with knowledge about the subject to explain it like i'm five, or google it.
r. just wether they decide to read or not. people really don't read at all anymore and it is sad. also if they can understand what they are reading and be able to read it critically (which is a skill, i guess)
s. having a good story to tell and being able to portray it in a way that makes the reader feel something, anything. if you manage to get someone to feel something, you have done your job as a storyteller (same for film, TV, etc.)
t. reading is just important to being a person. Literature is not a cold dead place, classics people read and contemporary works are all part of an ancient and important conversation about what it means to be human in a world full of other humans. Reading and story telling is as old as time itself and super important.
For the AP exam, I found that getting and reading these review books really helped:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/0738608130 (AP U.S. History Crash Course)
http://www.amazon.com/United-States-History-Preparing-Examination/dp/1567656609 (United States History: Preparing for the Advanced Placement Examination)
The Crash Course book is useful for quick information and the other book is useful for detailed information. I used both to study for the tests also. I read both of these books a couple weeks before the AP exam and got a 5. You will see how wonderful they are once you read them.
I found taking/studying released and mock exams help review for the AP exam. Also, if your school uses American Pageant, I would take "Ace Practice Test" if you want a review.
Wikinotes and coursenotes are useful chapter reviews. I found that the difference between the two is that coursenotes is a broad overview and wikinotes goes into detail.
Studying with and quizzing your classmates will help a lot because you teach (and re-learn) while your friends teach you. Its a win-win situation!
That's all I have to say. Good luck with your AP class and exam!
Good Luck!
The only one I've read so far is 100 Successful College Application Essays by The Harvard Independent. It's pretty much what the title says it is - a collection of essays from kids who got accepted into Ivy colleges. There was some commentary from counselors and such. I learned a lot from the book and would recommend it.
Here's an Amazon link.
I have no idea what is best to do here (nor will anyone else) because I'm not familiar with your school, the best thing to do would be to find an older student who took APUSH, preferably one with as similar a level of intelligence, work ethic, preference for the subject, outside obligations etc. and ask what s/he thinks you can do.
In my school, our AP course was a lot more about higher level thinking in addition to rote memorization. If your class is just the same information with a harder workload thats just because of the way your school is, not necessarily the AP itself.
For apush on the overall, I think its overrated a lot as being hard. If you can do well (get 5/6 of the questions right or more) on the multiple choice questions you already have a 3. Do well on the m/c and one of the essays (say a 6 or higher out of 9) and you have a 4. Do well on m/c and two of the essays and you have a 5. Then you have that 3rd essay which you can use to give you a flexibility.
Since the course is so memorization based, if you have the work ethic, a 4 is very achievable, and a 5 is not so bad either. Can't recommend this review book enough as well (out of stock now but should be restocked closer to the test) http://www.amazon.com/Direct-Hits-US-History-Flash/dp/1936551047/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1318179898&sr=8-3
THIS BOOK helped me out immensely. I can't recommend it enough. I should have bought the whole series, but inherited a bunch of other specialized books from my sister that suited my needs. I wish they were all as effective as this one.
Depends on the class. I have computer science and half of my class uses laptops. Don't know much about chromebooks, but I have an Acer Aspire E 15 E5-575G-53VG which I got for only $280, just need to know where to look.
I recommend /r/laptops or /r/buildapcsales, esp. with black friday around the corner. /r/thinkpads are popular too.
If you are open to ordering online amazon is actually really good for bulk food.

I shit you not, I never really payed attention, read the book, or took notes, but pretty much got a 4 on the exam by reading this 200 page bullet point book alone on the 3rd to last day.
Not to say that you should completely ignore other sources, but the book does a good job of compiling a lot of information that comes up on the exam often.
Enjoy, although this seems like an even bigger tripping hazard.

You need the Wood book. Its what I teach out of.

Eh, I think you are overestimating the importance of NHS in your college applications.
Your transcript probably won't show why you got kicked out of NHS, it will only show the years you were involved. You also self-report all of your extracurriculars on a college application.
Just from the cops comment, I would inform them of this. Your school also likely has a policy where any criminal charge suspends you from school-sponsored extracurriculars (or maybe you only get a warning, or whatever; check your school's website).
If you are worried about college admissions, I strongly recommend the book In!. NHS really isn't that impressive of an accomplishment and don't rely on it to get you in anywhere.
