<p>So today I was at my boyfriend's house with a bunch of his friends and my friend. We were watching a football game, and even though I hate football, I normally wouldn't mind being there because they are fun bunch of people to hang out with. Today, I thought to myself "God, what am I doing? I could be at home reading that book that is due in 2 weeks or doing my physics lab that is due on Wednesday or reading ahead for stats. I am being so unproductive." Then they took out the nintendo, and I also usually enjoy watching them play because they get so into it, but I just decided that I was going to go home and do homework so I left. It really depresses me.</p>
<p>So…go out with some of your friends. It will cure you.</p>
<p>Yes, but i have too much homework and I actually care about doing it this year for some reason</p>
<p>Reading ahead? Doing homework 3 days before it’s due?</p>
<p>You need help, and fast. I prescribe a couple of movie dates, some eating out with friends, and maybe a party or two, if you can handle that dosage.</p>
<p>-Dr. Social</p>
<p>I never had much of a social life to begin with, but that’s partly due to the fact that I live in a town where the idea of a night out is going to a movie and then sitting at Dairy Queen until it closes.</p>
<p>I just don’t have classes with any cool people this year, so I never get to talk to them.</p>
<p>LOL. Sorry to hear about this unfortunate event. Doing hw is never the solution. Go out and enjoy yourself.</p>
<p>The thing is though, that I just have too many other things I do. I run cross country, which takes up 2 hours everday after school and meets which go until 7 some weekdays, and pretty much all day saturday. There are 100 girls on our team and the guys have about 60 so i socialize with them. I have choir 0 period (7:00 am) and I have to leave at 6:15. So sleeping is a priority over social life. After cross country, though my life will be back</p>
<p>Cross country is evil. It (or any other sport) shouldn’t take up so much of the day. Imagine people who do that in addition to other sports. It’s just wrong! :(</p>
<p>You should feel fortunate that you at least had the time to go outside of your house this weekend.
I think I had about 2 hours of free time today. At the end of the night.</p>
<p>My social life exists during drama and marching band, but even that leaves little time for work. I have drama after school every day until 6ish, MB on Wednesdays from 7-9:30, and then both for part of the weekend.</p>
<p>Sports are great. I’d be ready to quit high school if I didn’t play any.</p>
<p>Cross country does take up a lot of time! I have college classes three days a week as well. = no free time.</p>
<p>Sad, me too. Whenever I’m doing something, I’m always thinking in “calendar view” (sounds ■■■■■■■■, but that’s what I think of) which is like: two tests on friday, book due two weeks out, psat 17 days, project four weeks out, etc, etc. The only things, honestly, that make me not feel “guilty” are actually getting EVERYTHING done (much easier in previous years) or completely forgetting about stuff and just saying, I cannot get it done right now. Also, it sounds like those things weren’t even that fun for you to begin with-maybe you should crack a book or watch a movie or something you’d legit like to do.</p>
<p>Being at school is very stress relieving because it’s the best excuse to not do homework :)</p>
<p>Yeah, thats why I do all my homework in lunch</p>
<p>I love XC. It is hard work, but we always have fun singing Backstreet Boys songs and such on our endless runs. I do a lot of socializing at XC (probably more than my coach wants me to do… haha).</p>
<p>wow. i feel the same. i have a friend in the same situation at school and every break and lunch we study togther. i kinda ditched my other friends i guess…i feel bad.</p>
<p>There’s a rumor at my school that there was a girl who became anorexic because she didn’t have time to eat…</p>
<p>I can never enjoy myself doing something fun if I know I have a lot of h/w to do. I wish I could be one of those kids that just say “*** it” when it comes to homework and then ace the test anyway, but I feel guilty no matter how small the assignment.</p>

<p>I feel the same way. It’s all about the priorities!</p>
