How to balance schoolwork and the college application process?

Hey there! First of all, remember that you're not alone in feeling stressed about balancing schoolwork and the college application process. It can be a challenging time, but the good news is that it is manageable with some planning and organization. Here are a few tips that might help you:

1. Prioritize your tasks: Make a list of all the tasks you have to complete, both for school and your applications. Then, prioritize them based on their importance and deadlines. This way, you can focus on what's most important first.

2. Create a schedule: Allocate specific time slots to work on different tasks. Make sure you have enough time for both schoolwork and college applications. This will help you create a routine and stay organized.

3. Break tasks into smaller steps: Breaking tasks into smaller, more manageable steps can make them feel less overwhelming and help you stay on track.

4. Don't be afraid to ask for help: Reach out to teachers, counselors, or even friends and family if you need assistance with your schoolwork or applications. Good luck, and remember to take breaks and enjoy the process!
