senior year

[Andrew]

Its senior year.

Ive never been this busy in my life.

Heavy courseload, college applications, easrly decisions, college essays, editor of the school paper, pep band, 15 hours a week job, makeup work, SENIOR PROJECT (fifteen hours of fieldwork, fifteen mimnute presentation in front of judges, ten page paper, it takes all year), girls, friends, family, parties, etc.

Ive never been this busy in my life, yet Ive also never been this unmotivated to do anything in my life.

I'm SURE im not the only one. How do you guys cope?

Fuck yeah man...

I have 4 APs + a 2 hour evening class. I have to have applications to 3 schools in by Nov. 1.

But I really don't feel busy, and I'm the slackiest slack slacker you've ever met.

my senior year school wise is pretty easy so far, altho i'm still
unbelievably busy... but thats because i choose to be.

Try managing your time in a planner. or write down and prioritize
a to do list of tasks. Works for me. Just don't lose your sense
of spontaneity

ya i have 4 different college applications to finish up, making fucking broadcast journalism stories every other day ontop of drums, lacrosse and everything else in high school.

This helped me. They give us assignment note books at the beginning of the year, ya i never use it. Instead I put everything in my phone, HW, tests, appointment, work schedule, deadlines EVERYTHING. I mean I look at my phone 100000 times a day anyways. That way i know what i have to do that day and the next day

dude if I had a phone that wasnt made from pieces of rock and crushed dreams i would do that in a second.

HA HA
see here ( NY) most school dont have senior projects
senior year basically is the relaxing year
its usually junior year that all that stuff happens
senior yr dosent matter to most colleges anyway so
we basically slack off

best resource for academics/time management/studying/unprocrastinating ever. i use a mixture of paper to write today's schedule, and mozilla sunbird to organize future dates. it's not perfectly on autopilot yet, but it's a work in progress. i have volunteer council, newspaper photog editing, college apps (which i'm not so worried about because stanford and USC admissions counselors are both looking forward to reading my apps.. so that's kinda nice) and whatever the hell else comes up. i cope by just doing it, with no emotional attachment whatsoever best thing i've learned from pick up by far.

Cheers,
