I really need some school advice, have major anxiety?
First off- BREATHE. =) Now. PSATS do not count for anything. They give you an idea of where you stand for taking the SATS. No college is going to see your scores..if you don't do so hot, it is okay. I was involved in a lot of extra curriculars in high school, and still am in college. But it's important to realize when you've taken on too much, or if one activity is a time drain (read: it takes up MUCH more time than anything else!) Your first priority has to be school and grades. Try getting a planner and writing in due dates, test dates, volleyball games, rehearsals, etc. I also like using a white board calendar and color coding my commitments with different color dry erase markers. Most importantly, stay on top of ignments. Don't procrastinate! If you can, bring textbooks on the bus to games (provided you don't get car/bus sick) and study. Use little bits of free time to work on schoolwork, and it will pay off. I would not worry about the new volleyball coach. It's always tough having a new coach, but there can be benefits too. He or she may teach you new things, and help you improve your game in ways you may have not considered. Choir sounds pretty stressful. I would sit down and think about how much you enjoy it (on good days!) and if you still feel it's worth it, talk to the director about what they said, and what their expectations are. Finally- boys are just stressful! Sometimes it's a nice thing to have on the side, but it can be time consuming. Start things slow and see where they go =) Best of luck!
