About MaxwellsSilverHammer
I am a 20 year urban planning student from New York. I go to school, and work, way too much.
I'm a level II mod on this site, so if you have questions regarding the site I could be of good help.
As for my crappy advice: it is crappy. If you listen to anything I suggest you will most probably find yourself running through town naked, or something equally hilarious, because I am a sadist.
And of course, I will hit you with my guitar, and then steal all of your intelligence for my own personal stash.

P.S.: Storageanddisposal is actually 12, and Fern sucks.

I'm a freshman and i think i'm workin myself too hard. I come home exhausted almost everyday and i take a nap. Then when i wake up, it takes me a few hours to do my homework and i'm really tired. I play a sport year-round and i think i might have to give up 1 or 2 of those sports. What should do? Am i working myself too hard?
You're most definitely putting too much pressure on yourself.
I was like that last year also. Taking a nap is so very tempting but it just slows down your ability to work after you wake up -- you really don't work efficiently for some time after you sleep.
I'm not sure how your schedule goes, doing homework ad lunch is always a good idea. If you have any other free periods, don't slack off during them, do some work if you can.
If you have teachers who give you homework sheets which list all the HW for a few weeks or so in advance, or one who assigns HW due in 3 or 4 days take advantage of it! It can be tempting to socialize, but you may have to cut time away from fun for work, because that's high school, and it sucks.
If none of that can work for you, or if you just want everything to be easier without doing work in school/in advance, you may want to drop one of the sports.
I had to drop playing baseball when I got to high school, it took up too much time. It was bad at first, but in the end you're making a good decision.
Whatever you do, make sure you always leave some time for sports, once a week, once every two weeks, just don't stop -- because you CAN forget/get rusty at them, and you'll regret it.
