Once again, the stress levels are far beyond anything I have ever experienced before. Maybe that may not mean anything because school should be harder each year you progress into the next grade. However, junior year should be considered the last year before you graduate college and start looking for your future, pertaining to the hardness of the classes. Am I over exaggerating, or am I right? You think about it yourself considering you are one of my fellow peers and junior classmates. Are you having a nice time? Constantly receiving assignments? Carrying books and binders in your hands out to your car because your book bag doesn't contain the right amount of capacity to fit your entire locker? If you ask me, I'm not having the time of my life walking through these hallways everyday, day dreaming about being somewhere else. These factors are the reason why I have no motivation anymore. Sometimes I bring all these materials home, destroying my back, so I can motivate myself to start studying to bring my grades up. I take one look around at all my binders and books laying on my bed, and then I notice my bed right underneath and realize I don't even know where to start. So I pull back the covers and climb right into bed. Can you blame me? I am constantly putting in physical work with sports and lifting, so by the time I come home I am too exhausted to even open a book. A lot of you reading this, my peers, my friends know the feeling and can share similar experiences. Whether you participate in any sports, clubs, band, choir, or have a job, you can share similar experiences about when you finally go home and lay your eyes on your beautiful bed just calling you name.
Junior year isn't easy, and I think that's obvious. The teachers are constantly making you search for your own solutions, which I thank you for because we all know you are trying to prepare us for college. Which, I suppose is pretty logical and reasonable. However, every single teacher doesn't have to slam us constantly with homework every single night. We are all trying to prioritize our time, it's not like all of us just give up the moment we see work. Nonetheless, when I see homework assignments form 6 different teachers, I tend to give up because it's just too much. Junior year is hard especially with all the assignments we receive everyday but I am putting in an effort. I am not giving up just yet, but the stress levels almost make me want to. One more nine weeks and two weeks left of the third nine weeks is all we have left. Then the stress will finally escape our bodies. Until we have to start preparing for next year, of course. Which means... more stress!
