Is anyone else just... tired?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>It's the summer after Junior year. My grades suck (even though I brought them upon myself by extreme procrastinating). It seems like there isn't much hope for any decent university at this point. I don't know what to do with my life. It's pretty funny because last year at this point I was full of hope.</p>

<p>My passion was nature, animals and poor people, but there's probably no hope for them. The world is too messed up. </p>

<p>I'm probably too fat to get new clothes, but I'm not even interested in them anymore. Maybe it's good I'm becoming less materialistic.</p>

<p>I just want to sleep after all those all-nighters. But despite how long I sleep I still feel tired. Sorry I sound emo. I'm just waiting to snap out of this.</p>

<p>What's on your mind? Sophomores: DON'T procrastinate Junior year. You think you can pull your grades up but you really can't.</p>

<p>I got out around May 20. And even though May was all performances and APs and SATs and exams and projects and ouch partnering is staring to hurt, it was nice. I got off a half day before every AP, didn’t have to go to school in the last week when I didn’t have an exam. We had a reversed schedule sometimes and I got out one hour early. When we didn’t, I went in one hour late. I left school for a day to go to DC for my brother, and then left early the next day to go somewhere for my cousin. It was stressful, sure, but in a relaxing way. The simple pleasures were very cool. Third quarter and the first half of fourth quarter were harsh, but towards the end, it became okay.</p>

<p>Millancad, that sounds like fun!</p>

<p>lol, thanks for the inspirational quotes, guys :)</p>

<p>Yeah, I have no right to mope. There are so many people out there with lives that are seriously f-ed up due to circumstances out of their control.</p>

<p>According to this place, my grades are crap.</p>

<p>But if you apply to enough schools, you’ll eventually get into a decent one. Maybe not the one you want… but at least it’ll be a decent one.</p>

<p>I would tell freshman not to get lazy sophomore year. I had a 96.54 frosh year, a 94.00 soph year, and a 95.73 this year, for a 95.44 total. I hate how some colleges (eg Princeton) ignore freshman year, haha.</p>

<p>Ugh, don’t get lazy your freshman year either.</p>

<p>I totally got lazy my freshman year and ended with two C+s even with a study hall. o.O</p>

<p>But because of my freshman and sophomore years, the highest my GPA can be after junior year is only a 3.1 (3.7 weighted!)</p>

<p>You see how bloody bad that is? Even if I have perfect scores next year… my GPA going to colleges will only be a 3.1 =(</p>

<p>Don’t be lazy period.</p>

<p>As much as it hurts you have to know even those who kept their grades up suffered. I feel so tired exhausted but knowing I only have one more day keeps me going. Two tests and one project later I’m going to relax for a week.</p>

11

<p>I was so burned out after AP exams, and I barely studied for finals. At least it’s all over, and I’ve got the whole of summer to look forward to.</p>

12

<p>I am tired…luckily this summer I have no job and nothing to do. I’m just sleeping basically. Today I slept for 10 hours, got up, exercised, took a 3 hour nap, went out to dinner, and will do it all again tom :P</p>

13

<p>I’m really sleepy right now.</p>

14

<p>am i tired…? hells yeah i’m tired! still got exams and one day of school left…and you know what…thats not it…my summer is loaded b/c i procrastinated with the volunteering stuff which i’ll have to cram in now (the summer of my junior year)</p>

15

<p>I finally finished…I’m so happy…all A’s for the year…and my ACT tomorrow. I’m totally gonna bomb it. Guess I better start prepping for the August ACT… >></p>

16

<p>I want to collapse.</p>

17

<p>Yeah guys. I am just so sick of it. It’s liek there is something ALWAYS in the back of my mind…something I always have to worry about and now college apps are coming up…oh dear. Just the thought of all this…the pressure…the competition…it gets to me. I know a lot of you are like me here, but i find it so hard watching anyone get ahead of me…succeeding at something i don’t…i really tear myself a part for it…i wish i could change this part of my personality but i just can’t. I got two b’s for the first time in my high school career and while it was a humbling experience idk…i just want to do better. im trying my best, really i am…but sometimes its not enough.! </p>

<p>Hopefully we all end up where we are supposed to and our efforts will pay off. Let’s tell ourselves to enjoy our summer!</p>

18

<p>I was tired all school year was just a blur of school, standardized tests, and ec’s. But now it’s all over and i’m enjoying the bliss of not having to worry about anything:)</p>

19

<p>omg Im in a similiar position, ugh my grades really suck right now but my school is still in session so I still have my finals.</p>

20

<p>Sometimes I really think we should get paid to go to school/do well or exceptionally well (academically). I feel like Ive been scammed when I stay up until 3:30 AM (only to wake up at 6) working my arse off (no bathroom breaks btw) and then some adm. officer tosses your file away because you dont have enough ECs!</p>

<p>I feel burnt out :frowning: not the same energy as the beginning of the semester</p>
