inkie ONLINE (12/03/2015) [-] 
you know the stress I've been dealing with about.. classes and papers and work..
Right before I left my printmaking class, our instructor "reminded" us of a 5 page paper that needed to be due the next time we see him, which is Monday
As if that wasn't bad enough, one of the classes I was scheduled for over the Spring semester was dropped and I can't find a suitable replacement to keep my full time enrollment, so I can't give my boss, who is determining whether or not I will work at the hockey arena anymore, the schedule for my Spring semester because he has to know which days are off to see when I can and cannot work so something like this doesn't happen again. But if he does take me back before Friday, it's likely he will have me down to work all weekend long for the Disney on Ice event that's in town and I will not have any time to work on any of my papers, so I just kinda snapped and relapsed
I just really hate life today

scootabot (12/03/2015) [-] Oh Inkie. I'm really sorry you're dealing with so much **** right now. If I had any say, I would definitely come and try and lessen your burden, but the best I can do right now is just offer some advice.
The best thing you can do right now is deal with the biggest matter at hand. That's the paper. You should try and get the paper done... I know it sounds hard, but you can do it if you really just have a few hours and some perseverance. I remember typing a full on essay right before history class. I got a C- on it, but hey...
I would talk to my boss about the scheduling issues, tell him that things are getting a little hectic with your school schedules, see if he'll understand.
Then, I would go to the school guidance counselor, they will almost always help you find a class to help fill your Spring schedule. It's kind of their job.
It's a lot of heavy stuff, but you have to take them as the blows come. You know? Each every little blow you take can seem like a lot if you focus on it all at once. Take it as it comes, plan ahead, it's the best thing you can do as you grow up. Believe me. There are some things you aren't really capable of dealing with on your own, there's no shame in asking for help.
This will all be over and dealt with before you know it, just keep trudging on and you'll eventually be where you want to be. Try these things and see if they will have any sort of impact, if not, then... Maybe there's just a difference between what you think you need to do and what you want to do. Which is more important? Schooling or work? That will only come down to it if you want it to, but I would suggest talking to your boss and the counselor to see what the best course of action would be.

scootabot (12/03/2015) [-] Take each day one at a time. Don't overload yourself. Work and school is important, but you're also important. Take time for yourself while dealing with these issues.
Believe me, you'll definitely wish you had.
Don't completely shun responsibility, but don't forget that you need your time as well.
Think about relaxing whenever the paper is done, or perhaps, take breaks throughout. Make the load easier. It's what I did when I had a huge paper to write. I would write a page, take a fifteen minute break, and go back into it.
But if you feel like you can go the entire two pages, or however long it is, then go for it. Just remember that you need rest, too. Don't stress yourself out too much. You're in control, whether you see it or not.
