Prioritize. That's the key. You have to learn to manage your time wisely and utilize and given amount of free time. First, get a schedule that works for you. Set aside a certain amount of time for homework every night. Maybe an hour? Even if you don't have anything due the next day, there is always something you can still work on. Maybe study ahead for an end of the week test. Make sure it's in an area where you are comfortable and won't have to get up 60 times to get supplies. Next, give yourself rest/break time. If you are feeling overwhelmed/stressed do something for a little bit that you enjoying. Reading, writing, tv, snack, power naps--anything. Letting yourself step back from the task at hand recharges you for when you have to return. Make sure you write all your assignments, duties, etc in a planner or something/somewhere you can easily keep track of. On the weekends, pick just one night or 2 to go out. Don't go out EVERYNIGHT for the ENTIRE day. For example, if you want to go to the big football game on Friday night--try doing your homework in a study hall (if you have one) and right when you get home from school. That way, at about 5 you can start getting ready for the game, but you have an hour or so in of homework time. The key is to just stay on top of things by taking baby steps. Don't procrastinate. Just do little by little and you will never feel overwhelmed. And make sure to enjoy life! :)
