I am in my last year of high school in a small town that strangles the life out of me. Senioritis has hit hardcore. I feel overwhelmed........ I just want to escape and get out of here. College in Hawaii awaits me after this. It is always around this time of year that I get overwhelmed. Because of my AS I can't function after doing work all day for 9 months (well school type environment). I want to be a writer so I can fuction on the hours I am used to. UGH I am just soo.....

Hang in there. You can see the light at the end of the tunnel. This time will pass, and before you know it, you'll be slapping Mosquitos at a kava bar.

What if you stay attune to your high-energy periods, do your serious, hardest work then, and then quit early?

For me, I might wake up relatively late at 9:00 but then my best hours are between nine and eleven, and in that sense I'm a morning lark.

Thanks, I'll try that stuff. Today I had a massive screw up in the morning (someone tried to black mail me with a video) but it actually made me come back to my senses.

Wow, that's potentially pretty serious, but it sounds like you handled it pretty well. One good approach is just a matter-of-fact, "That sh.t ain't cool.", whether you say it out loud or not, or whether you get someone to be your advocate and say it for you or not.

Good luck with your senior year.

If you go into medicine, law, architecture, etc, you'll probably develop skills of skimming professional publications and noticing articles you want to skim a second time or even read parts of them in depth. I developed these skills relatively late. You don't have to.

In fact, I now like the strategy of jumping ahead esp if I'm behind. It helps make the lecture a more valuable use of my time.
