On Overload

This past week and this current one as well students are finding themseleves crammed with enourmous amounts of work to do. That being the combination of tests, homework, reading, studying, going to class, papers, etc... It seems like each teacher takes the class he or she is teaching as if its the only class the students have and when you have say 5 of those teachers the work load easily piles up. On top of all this school work we have lives too, other things that need to be done. For example I play a club sport which takes up 4-5 days a week 3 hours a day. Yes it is my choice to attend this but its something i love doing and im not giving it up anytime soon. Also our social lives are important as well. If not we mine as well live in a hole and have a one-tracked mind based on school.The point is the work builds up way too much and drives us to the point of stress. What are some ways to solve this? Can it be solved or are we going to have to shut up and find a way to deal with it. No one was to be placed in a point of stress and right now if your not stressing i envy you because you must know something i dont.

You've got to start scheduling time to have fun. If you don't schedule it, it'll explode on you when you least want it to (like when you really need to be writing a paper or studying for a test). You have to treat it just like you would anything else--schedule your socialization, and you'll start feeling like things are getting a rhythm to them.
