Overworked??

Question

I have way too many extracurricular activities. Every day I have something to do, whether it be soccer, guitar, yearbook, etc. I hardly ever have any time for myself.

Then, in the weekends I also have dance. I really love to dance, but the scheduling is on the worst posiible day because I don't ever have time to do anything.

I don't want to quit anything, but I just feel really overworked. I need to spend some time with my friends.

Help?!

Answer 1

Just ask yourself why you're doing each of these activities.  If it's because you love it, keep it.  If it's because you think you need it for some reward (admiration of fellow students, admissions to a college) then forget it.

Re: college admissions.  Admissions people now say that they're less impressed by a long list of extracurrics, instead they want to see a student who stuck with one and rose to a position of leadership in it.  Having a range doesn't hurt, but be sure you have the one where you got to be a leader.
