How do you manage it all?

If you don’t have sports in your schedule, the best way to get more sleep is to take a nap right after school. This probably works better for night owls like myself, of course. I always find I am absolutely drained after school (due to workload and health issues that make me easily tired) so I’ll nap until 6 or 7 in the evening and then do my homework and studying. Obviously, this doesn’t always happen depending on my schedule. It does help me, though, especially if you have lots of stuff to do and are going to be up late anyway.

Other than that, you just have to budget time for important things. I try to pull up the Common App if I notice I’m procrastinating, which helps complete little bits of it at a time. I have trouble getting to SAT prep as well, but it’s really all about telling yourself to find time for it.
