<p>The public library is right across from my school, so I just walk across after school every day. I do all my homework/reading, and then work on some of personal projects and writing before my mom picks me up at 6/6:30. </p>
<p>@gympen That’s great! My school library closes at 3:30 and we get out of school at 2:10, so it’s not as great.</p>
<p>I wake up at 6.
Make it to the bus at 6:40
School starts at 7:30 (we get to school about 7:20)
I have a full schedule (no gym, lunch, or study halls) until 2:15
Club meeting until 3:20
Volleyball Practice until 5:30
Get home at 5:45
EAT for the first time in 12 hours!!!
HOMEWORK for 7 classes (5 of which are honors/pre-ap) (each class gives from 10-50 minutes of HW/night)
Go to bed at 10
Help 3-4 friends with math/english/science/history/chinese HW/studying
Actually fall asleep at 11.</p>
<p>REPEAT!</p>
<p>@Spiral7 The eating part sounds rough. I would pass out at practice in a second.</p>
<p>@Spiral7 how does your school allow you to “drop” lunch? It’s kind of mandatory at mine, as are study halls every other day in the spring/summer in the place of APs. Oh and gym is also mandatory for half the year</p>
<p>@XxSkizzyxX, that would be a bad idea. It depends on your schools/states grading scale. An A is 93-100 in my district, and if I didn’t do my homework then I would have a B.</p>
<p>I volunteer at my local hospital every Tuesday and 9 times out of 10 they have nothing for me to do…So I bring my books and homework papers and essentially have 3 hours of uninterrupted time for study/schoolwork per week. I also make plans for when I do homework, and set a stopwatch so I budget my time well enough that I have a solid 7 hours to sleep. It’s not perfect, but it gets me working.</p>
<p>When it comes to readings, I usually Google it before making myself read the whole thing. History textbooks especially will have some form of summarized, detailed notes online somewhere so if I don’t have time/the willpower to read, I’ll just make do with chapter summaries.</p>
<p>@BPearlman97 Next semester I will be in gym, 3 times a week. I dropped lunch. Study halls are optional.</p>
<p>Something that helps me a lot is going to sleep early and waking up earlier in the morning to do my hw. That way I actually UNDERSTAND what I’m doing. I wouldn’t say it’s a bad idea to finish all the tedious home work at school, such as copying down notes or doing something that’s easy for you and doesn’t require thinking when you get the time. Once you reach home at like 8 or whatever, eat and do some quick hw if you get the time. But on days I reach home late, I just sleep at like 9 pm, and wake up at like 5 am to finish all my hw or even study for tests. It honestly works for me, though getting up early in the morning may be a bit hard in the beginning, but go splash your face with water or have a cup of coffee. Also, take some time out to relax, otherwise it gets too overwhelming sometimes.
(I’m a straight A student with all AP or honors’ classes too plus I have a club after school everyday, so I understand your pain)</p>
<p>I can’t procrastinate and do my homework before class anymore 
calculus and ap chem have made it impossible. I start my homework as soon as I get it and I don’t finish until 9-10. It’s horrible especially since I have yet to finish my apps…</p>
<p>@Spiral7 but how can you drop lunch…like even if it were possible at my school, I wouldn’t do that. I’m pretty sure that that isn’t healthy lol</p>
<p>@BPearlman97 Maybe he eats snacks between classes :)</p>
<p>I have two days a week, Tuesday and Saturday, where I go to my local Barnes and Noble and tackle any homework that I have. Along with a quiet environment, they have a bunch of books on pretty much any subject - including my textbooks - therefore I just read them and return them to where I found them. </p>
<p>On the days where I get assigned homework and it is due the next day, I usually do it during lunch because it is probably not much work. My huge assignments are usually assigned a week or two early. </p>
<p>@HeyItsNick That’s clever! I would’ve never realized how useful Barnes and Noble could be.</p>
<p>@LosingCrayon, I guess that that could be done…I just can’t imagine someone going a school day without eating a full lunch. Even full-time workers get around an hour for lunch. I wouldn’t have survived working in NYC this summer without that break </p>
<p>@BPearlman97 I think about 15% of the kids at my school do this, because we have required gym periods, so when you add lunch we are only left with 6 classes/year. I have two classes that I’m allowed to eat during, but usually I just eat after school. Bringing food is cheaper and the food I bring is healthier.</p>
<p>School goes from 7:30 to 2:15. If you eat breakfast, it’s not too bad.</p>
<p>@Spiral7, thats cool that teachers let you eat in class, makes sense to do that since lunch is optional (still find that weird lol). I bring my own food too, and eat a pretty solid breakfast. Even with a good breakfast though I’m starving by 11.<br>
I guess my metabolism controls my habits more than I thought :)</p>
<p>Half the time I’m doing homework during lunch xD Too bad at my school it isn’t a full period, so I only get around 15 minutes of working and the rest eating. But I always get the school’s food, it isn’t bad 
But I go to the a la carte line or salad bar (to get a sandwich xD) because everything else isn’t as good.</p>
