Senior year is supposed to be about fun. Going and cheering on the football team, getting away with things normal students wouldn't, leaving class early to do important senior business; all of which I have been doing. But I'm finding there is an evil side to all this.
For many years I have been involved in everything from sports to science fair...and everything in between. I wouldn't even want to list them all right now cause it would take FOREVER...but anyways, this year I've decided I don't really want to do all of those things. I want to have time for friends outside of high school (because I have many now). But so far, my plan hath failed me. Right now I'm playing volleyball, and taking classes. And that's pretty much it. Occasionally I have to do a shift at the convenience store, but not very often, and still I feel like I'm swamped. If someone were to try and follow me around, they'd probably give up from sheer exhaustion. And I don't understand it. Other years I've been able to do volleyball, science fair, yearbook, knowledge bowl, and drama (not to forget school) all at the same time and this year I wouldn't even consider doing anything else. Maybe it's because I'm a captain, maybe it's because I'm varsity, maybe it's because I've decided to have a lazy mentality about things and I just decide I don't want to put forth and energy to anything else. Whatever it is, it needs to stop. Soon. Cause I'm starting to freak myself out. That is all.

ReplyDeleteJust relax and take it slow. Learn how to prioritize what is and isn't important. And if you have people that want to help you, let them.
