Senior year scramble

Senior year is something that everyone looks forward to; spending time with your friends, having a great job, buying all the cutest new clothes, and getting the best grade for the college of your dreams. Little did anyone think about all the work necessary to get there. Your parents are breathing down your neck to get all your work done so you can get good grades and good scholarships. Both take loads of time that are supposed to appear out of thin air; not only do you have to sit down and finish your homework, but you have to spend the time looking for the right kinds of scholarships. I mean, what the heck are you supposed to google anyways? Next to that, getting a job and making your own money sounds great, that also takes not only more of your time, but also physical activity which makes you even more tired than just school alone. Because you are tired, you don't want to do your homework, but you muster through it anyways. That makes you more tired and frustrated, so you aren't "in the mood" to search for scholarships. It's only the second month of school, and most of us are already tired from the workload of the AP classes we are taking so we can attempt to shave off a couple credits from college to save more money. So your parents won't be as angry and you won't be in debt forever. Senior year has been stressful so far, but hopefully I get used to the workload so I can manage my time more effectively and try to fit everything in.
