Fall's Here

During the Fall I've noticed that I really struggle to stay on task in school. The reason is so simple. It is that there are too many things going on at once during that time. I have soccer everyday and on top of that, theres so many sports to watch. Football is in full swing. I swear I spend more time watching football and setting my fantasy lineups than I do on school work. It's an addiction that I cannot escape for the weeks between September and December. Its so much fun playing fantasy football, however, my grades have payed for it in the past. Its going to different this year though. I am going to find a balance where I can have fun playing fantasy/watching football - and hockey for that matter. While also spending lots of time getting ready for college by working on my common app and getting great grades. 

This year has been stressful so far and there is a lot more work than I anticipated. The college application process is terrifying, thinking about where I'm going to go and getting everything polished before the due dates that are fast approaching. I cannot wait for February break, when, hopefully, I'll know where I am going to go and where I have gotten into. The stress is killing me but I know that in a few short months the whole process will be finished and I can relax a little bit, and take advantage of senior spring. This year is going to be great even with the ups and downs that it has in store for me.
