ASR Help!
Comments(7) | I’ve been told recently that i haven’t been very happy latley and that when I am happy, I don’t stay that way for long because i get upset very easily and honestly this is from stress. Within the first two weeks of school I had nine projects and essays assigned to me. I had:
-two Biology essays
- 50 Spanish charts
-Book Review
-Summer read
-Ap history essay
-20 ASR articles
*Highlight: main ideas, scientists, and vocabulay
*Put vocab (defined) and scientists in list
-ASR Powerpoint project
-A scrapbook
I don’t know if i am crazy but i think that is A LOT of work for the first month of school. In my head I am thinking it can only get harder from here and i am already stressed out of my mind because on top of all of this I am going to be in the play and fall production and have dance lessons. My personal fix to this is to drop ASR because it is the most work. I joined it to maybe get somehting extra on my college application, but now i don’t even feel it is worth it. I am not even interested in it anymore. Even if I do stay with it till my senior year (through all of the other AP classes i am going to have and the extra activities i will have), I will have not much of a social life, and i might not even get the scholarship that only one person per class gets. I don’t know if i am crazy and everyone just thinks I am overreacting, but i really feel this way. If anyone can back me up on this please let me know. I want to know if I am making the right descision in dropping it. I think i am but i would like some feedback please.
Check out Lindsey’s blog. She is also feeling overwhelmed. I think you definitely need to set some priorities and figure out what you are able to accomplish and what can be abandoned. You are too young to have a nervous breakdown!
Yeah, Sam, we don’t need any more panic attacks. =P
I’m a little sad that you’re dropping ASR because I’m in it, but you know what we aren’t in the same period anyway so it doesn’t really matter.
I think you are totally right to drop it. You have even more stuff than I do.
And not having a social life is not fun. Trust me. =P
DROP IT!!! DROP IT!!! DROP IT!!! lol, Sam, you need to keep your social life. Just drop it and get it over with. You know what they say, if you grab life by the horns, and it gets to be too much, throw them down! ….actually i’m not sure anyone has ever said that….oh well…
Hi, Sam.
I’m glad you dropped ASR, because stress isn’t cool. You seem like a cool person from your blog post, and this Andy character in your band sounds handsome. Anyway, you’re awesome. adios

Sam!
Hello fellow stresser. Aren’t you a little relieved now after dropping ASR? I can say I am. I actually have time to sleep these days…and it’s only been two days. =]
I agree in the fact that its only going to get harder, but I think we both can handle it. Plus, I think a panic attack every once in awhile is, unfortunately, normal.
Anyway, I already knew you were in “The Informants” and have magical multiple instrument playing skills, and I knew your parents were pretty chill people. However, I do want to know about these “truth-or-dare” games. I’m curious now.
Haha, curiosity did kill the cat, after all. So maybe I don’t want to know? Am I right?
I love ending in rhetorical questions. Don’t you?
Aw, Sam I think you’d be making a responsible choice in dropping it. It sure sounds like a lot. You wouldn’t wanna kill yourself over something that may not be worth it, you know? I would say don’t feel bad about dropping it.
Oh, my bad! You seemed to have already dropped it lol. If only i had read that.
