Answer 1

If you've done all that already, how is it that you don't know how to continue on with it? I'm confused. You've done more than I ever will and you're the one freaking out?!

Well, just time manage. Have a schedule and stick to it. Be disciplined and only do as much as you can. If you overdoit you'll have a breakdown and screw everything up. Be yourself and if you can't do something, say no to it. Screw what other people think! Do your own thing, gurl!

I need to get a job...

Answer 2

Wow... okay, take a deep breath. Again. Now relax a bit. Your senior year obviously means a lot to you, but what I want you to concentrate on is enjoying it! Have fun with the activities and leadership roles that interest you. You sound like you're quite organized already... but your last phrase "give each activity equal amount of priority" is a bit misguided. Your priority is your education... the classes you are taking and your studies. It's not the extracurricular activities or what your building principal thinks of you. Your priority is to get the very best education you can to prepare you for college. Focus on those classes. It's very easy to get stretched too thin... my dear, there's only 24 hours a day... and you should really be sleeping during 8 hours of that. You now have 16 hours. Over half that time is devoted to your school and your education... be sure to allow some time for yourself. Thirty years ago I was a senior in high school... like you, I took on many activities as well as sports. But I believe I kept my balance by staying focused on the books... making sure I prepared myself for classes and for tests. Now, after graduating from college and later earning my master's degree, I've been fortunate to have taught students for over 20 years. So, let's focus on the work of studying, and also with your eyes to the future. You have a college to select, unless you have already done so. You perhaps have scholarships or plan to apply to get some. Yes, there's a lot to do... but do your best to enjoy your experience. If you get stressed out, that hurts you and probably effects your academic work; but more importantly, it could effect your health. So, enjoy that senior year!

Answer 3

first of all, relax! even this question makes it sound like you're stressed!

i think you already know how to manage your time (otherwise you wouldn't have gotten this far). what you need to ensure is that you don't become overworked and overtired, and then burn out.

although i certainly respect all those commitments, make sure you spend some time for you!
