Omg a quick rant, junior year is driving me crazy. My whole day consists of me waking at 5, leave by house at 6:15, getting to school at 7:30, leave school at 3, get home at 4:30, doing homework, eating, sleeping, and repeat. The other day, one of my ap teachers went, “ 3 hours of studying for my subject maximum!” like WHAT DO YOU MEAN I BARELY HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO GET MY SHITS DONE AND NOW YOU WANT ME TO STUDY FOR 3 HOURS?

Hang in there. High school is completely whacked because of how you are in school with so many subjects a day. Lots of people have said that junior year is the hardest year of high school. Academically, it probably was for me. I did my first foray into historical research that year. I look back on it and I realize just how terribly unscholarly it was. I didn’t use a single primary source (albeit a lot of the primary sources for my topic were and are across the ocean). And then there was chemistry which I essentially had to teach myself. The thing I remember most is element abbreviations. So useful... for trivia games And teachers can be so unrealistic.... honestly.... And remember to sleep if you need it. I would throw almost all nighters in high school and it was terrible. I would essentially brainwash myself by repeating “you slept” in my head over and over. It was not healthy and I would get really bad acne breakouts all over my back. But anyway, your health is very important.

We haven't been super active bc real life is the Worst (tm) but don't forget that I love you all and I'm so glad this project is what it is. <3 Thank you 😊 And life is hectic. Honestly. But good news is that my grandma is finally able to move into an assisted living facility. With all the stress that had been causing me.... And sometimes I’m consumed with worry about my friends. A student on campus passed away over the weekend and an email was sent out to the school community. Apparantly, my one friend was convinced I was dead (even though the student passed in the morning and he had seen me that evening). I really worry about him because his depression and anxiety seems to be getting worse. He’s finally seeing a counselor. I was talking about it this morning with another of our good friends. They were essentially explaining that the reason they haven’t invited one of their friends to eat with us again is that our friend’s “unrestrained emotion” was completely overwhelming for him since he picks up on people’s emotions really deeply. I then nodded and said that there are friends of mine who I am very hesitant to have interact with each other too. At college, this isn’t the case. I have friends outside my primary social circle, but they just don’t seem to intersect much. For instance, most of the people I hang out with in my field have not met any of my closest friends. It isn’t intentional, more just how it is. It’s mostly friends from different areas of my life that I worry about interacting. This morning I went to a counseling appointment and hung out with the aforementioned friend while they filled out paperwork. Though I left before the appointment because class and it is personal (although I know the outline of what was being discussed). I try really hard to support the people I care about. But I feel like it’s imposdible sometimes.

But I feel like it’s imposdible sometimes. I know how you feel about having trouble supporting the people you care about. And I think it IS impossible to help everyone, at least to the degree that you'd like. Don't spread yourself too thin; there's only so much you can do for someone. All you really have to do is be there for them.
