How can I balance schoolwork, extracurriculars, and the college application process?

Hey there! It's completely normal to feel stressed during your senior year, but don't worry, there are ways to balance everything. First, I'd recommend creating a calendar or using a planner to keep track of all your deadlines and commitments. This can help you visualize your workload and plan ahead. Next, try setting aside specific times for studying, extracurriculars, and working on your college applications. It's important to prioritize your tasks and break them down into smaller, more manageable pieces. For example, you could work on one section of your college application each day, rather than trying to complete the entire thing at once. Remember to also set aside time for self-care and relaxation. It's important to avoid burnout and maintain a healthy balance. Lastly, don't be afraid to ask for help from your teachers, counselors, or even your peers. They can offer valuable insights and support. Good luck, and remember that you'll get through this!
