Too Many Hobies, Too Little Time
Ok, so I have too many hobbies that take up too much time and my mom said that I need to think about next year and what I want to do and what I have time for. My two main concerns are I won't have time for my horses and my grades will slip. I'll list the activities (not including hanging with friends, homework and, oh yeah, sleep!) and time they take...
Riding: I try to make it out 4 or 5 times a week when I have my pony. Shows are all day either Saturday or Sunday.
Cross Country & Track: Every day for a few hours a day. Some meets during the week but others are all day Saturday or Sunday (already see a problem?)
Marching Band: Monday and Friday nights.
Girl Scouts: Every other Friday
Band and Chorus: In school except for a couple mandatory rehearsals right after school.
Private drum set lessons: Every Thursday night.
Spanish Club: One day after school each week for an hour.
Sorry that was so long but I guess my questions are how much can I do and how do I decide what to do? (I know only I can make the final decision but strategies would be helpful)

Maybe give some free advice about: Random Weirdos?
i would do as much as you can and that is it. If you feel overloaded, don't be afraid to drop somethings to help yourself feel less stressed. this was really quick but i hope that it helped!

I actually have a similar problem.
I think that you should choose either xc or track and field. While that sport is going on, you should not ride as much, and then when track or xc isn't in season, then you can ride more.
I assume that you're going into high school? If so, teachers don't care about why you are failing. They'll try to help, but they try to teach you to be more independent. Your grades will slip. Maybe not a lot, but you'll feel overworked if you do this and then you'll be sleeping in class, etc.
Good luck with next year, and have a marvelous summer!

it seems like the main issue is xc/track & riding. you're gonna have to pick one to take seriously and one to do for fun. the rest you can fit in or work out somehow b/c they;re not huge commitments. <3

Hi, it sounds as though you've got to much food on your plate. You need to scrape some away so that theres just the right amount for you to do, if you get my meaning. It's ashame that you've got so many things to do in so much little time. It's good to have 1 or 2 hobbies. That way you've got anothe time to complete your week without stress and tiredness. Don't forget that you've got school too, as well! Just cut down on some hobbies and see how things go. Start off with 2 or 3. Daniel.
