<p>I have started my first week of school and it seems so hectic like I have no energy to even work. Does this mean I'm pressuring myself too hard? I am in 10th grade and in pre-ib, and like all the sophmores before said this is the hardest year and i just don't know. I feel like giving up because I can't handel this much work but at the same time I don't want to quit.</p>
<ol>
<li>Get off CC</li>
</ol>
<p>don’t worry broski, you’ll get use to the new workload in a week or two.</p>
<p>sorry to say, but it does get worse. Much worse. you need to make sure your living habits are healthy (sleeping & eating well, etc) and managing your time effectively. However, if you’re expecting straight-As, you are likely expecting too much.</p>
<p>Even if you’re not expecting straight-As, it still may just be too much for you. Despite what IB would have you believe, IB is not for everyone, and the workload is too difficult for many a good student.</p>
<p>You do, however, get used to it to a certain extent.</p>
<p>Pre-IB sophomore year was a joke.</p>
<p>TIME MANAGEMENT.</p>
<p>Classes?</p>
<p>I feel the same way, OP. Bleah.</p>
<p>futureexecutive got the first thing you should do down.</p>
<p>This is what I do when I start feeling overwhelmed by school.</p>
<ol>
<li>Look around at idiots in school.</li>
<li>Acknowledge that said idiots have passed sophomore year.</li>
<li>Conclude that if idiots can do it, so can I.</li>
</ol>
<p>Of course, an exceedingly large number of idiots at one’s school is required.</p>
<p>^ But, said idiots usually pass sophomore year with mediocre-terrible grades in regular classes. I want to get Straight A’s in honors-AP courses.</p>
<p>Just wait it out. You’ll feel better in a few days. I’d have days where I was so sick of school and didn’t know how I’d handle the rest of the school year. And not to be egotistical, but when I’m feeling upset and like I can’t handle my workload, I look at all of the people who are doing worse than me and start to feel better about myself. Mean, but effective.</p>
<p>real helpful guys. but I got myself confidence up by after few minutes writing that post. I got all 100% so they made my days. see ya.:P</p>
