- i have to take a 5 hr SAT class every sunday and take a 7:10 am business course 2 days a week sept-december

Answer 1

Meditation, this is very simple to do turn off all the light or go into a closet and sit down and close your eyes. and breath, in and out think of your own paradise with only you with no problems and open your mind. Or do yoga you'll have something to think about other than all your problems, and forces on the poses. After you feel relax go back to doing what ever you were doing at the time with an open mind and you will find your worries less troubling.Meditation and yoga helped me to see the everyday problems and take them one at a time.Believe me once you clear out all the little things and forcing what at hand you'll find life is easier.

just try to focus on what you have to do. try to better plan your time to get your assignments done.

Answer 3

ya..the transition into becomming an "adult" is never fun.  But, the rewards are great in the end.  Lets look at it this way...

1. You will have more summers to look forward to. The summers as an adult are the same as the falls the winters and the springs. But...most of us adults don't have homework!!

2. Not sure what to say about your friends. Is there a chance this might seem worse then it really is because you are soo stressed out about everything else?

3. Boys will be boys.  You will get over him.  Someday you will have your heart broken again, but you will do some hearth breaking of your own along the way:)

4. OK, new job..bakery..yummy food..and MONEY to get that car!

5. Get crackin on your summer homework.  If you can..get your hands on the audio versions of the book you need to read...download then. I find this the best way to "read" because you can listen to the book and do other things!!  MULTITASK!

6. Personally i think SAT classes are BS, you either do well or you don't.  But, once again..this is not a forever thing.  Same with the business class...it must suck, but it to will end in just a few short months!

7. Spend a few hours a week working on your college apps and stuff.  Pick a day and a time that you are going to work on it and stick to it..like its a class.

8. You just study hard, get good grades and choose a college that fits you...pleasing you dad is important, but in the end its you are the one going to college not him! I am almost positive he wants the best for you, and if you make smart decisions in the end...he will be pleased.

9. Well work...and save!!  Honestly, it seems as though you are going to have a BUSY semester, so saving might not be that hard!  Social life will suffer, but the payof will be worth it!

Seems like you are super loaded till december, But jsut think..in a few months..college apps will be done, sat classes will be done, business class will be done, you will hopefully have a car and your license, summer assignments will be a distant memory and who knows who you will meet friend/boy wise between now and then!  You are going to make it girl, i promise! Good luck and you can do it!!

find new friends and expose urself to other people. forget bout hte car, ull get one later in life and trust me, its more of a hassle than u think. pressure from ur dad, s***w that. ull get into a school of ur choosin, not ur dad's. college apps are easier nowadays bc most of them are online. essays arent that bad unless ur applying for an ivy league school. ur still in high school, dont worry bout not havin read a book yet. i dont know bout ur research assignemnts though, never had to do those. do u have to get a job now, ur 17 enjoy it while it lasts bc once ur 18, 17 is never comin back
