i'm a junior in high school, and there's a new program which i'm taking where i go to college as a high school student/college student. so i can finish up my high school and start on my college credit and graduate with my associates and my high school diploma. in the beginning of the year, everything was perfectly fine.. i was able to keep up with everything in my eight classes and get done with stuff early. but a couple of months later, it just suddenly hit me in the face... it started getting more overwhelming, more assignments and projects are handed out, i have a car i have to repair, and to do that i also work on the weekends. is there a way where i can keep everything up and not to become so stressed out about all of is? please & thank you!

I know what you mean, work starts to pile up like nothing. I am in grade 12 right now.
To get through it all, you must stay positive (don't forget to breath); work hard, but get your sleep and have a schedule. It will keep you more energenic and organized so you will be able to accomplish everything. Post the schedule in a place where you can clearly see it everyday and make a few if you need, so you can put them in different places. It should allow you to fit all your necissary daily activities in so you have time to do them all. Once you have made a schedule and actually follow it, you will find you can make more leisure time, which will allow your stress to go away. You will become more relaxed.
Remember, do not overthink. If you start getting tired, take a break inbetween assignments. You should not attempt to do everything at once, your brain needs a break about every half an hour. Drink water, and snack on healthy foods such as, fresh fruit and nuts throughout the day; they will keep your energy up and help you feel refreshed :)
You can get through it all! You are able to do anything you set your mind up to do <3 [ gr8fruit's advice column | Ask gr8fruit A Question ]
