<p>I’m really stressed out. I get about 5-7 hours of sleep per night. I’m self-studying three APs: Macro, Micro and Psych. I play piano at a post-secondary level and teach it to young kids. I’m taking three courses online to get rid of graduation requirements. I’m in numerous clubs, several music groups, and cross-country. I’m organizing an Model UN conference and I coach my school’s debate team. I tutor and volunteer at the library every week. </p>
<p>I want to quit some of these commitments but I’m worried that I’ll sour relations- I had planned to get reference letters and some of the organizers of my activities are very temperamental. </p>
<p>Should I quit everything or only the ones that aren’t useful? Or should I endure it for the rest of the year and not sign up again?</p>
<p>If you are taking APs at school, then drop a couple of the self-study APs! That would be an easy way to drop something while still keeping your commitments to other people :)</p>
<p>Hmmm…you definitely don<code>t want to stretch yourself too far. That wouldn</code>t be good. I agree with pandamic; drop a couple of the self-study AP<code>s, and then if you feel you still need to drop something else, drop a E.C that you feel you don</code>t like as much. You say numerous clubs…maybe drop one of them, if needed.</p>
<p>My school doesn’t offer any AP’s until senior year. Most of the time, the only AP course that actually runs is AP Calculus. I’m thinking of dropping all clubs that I don’t hold a leadership position in and my library volunteering since I don’t get much out of it besides a reference letter. I already play piano so I’m considering dropping the music groups too. Is this dropping too much?</p>
<p>Drop some, your health should come first. I know how you feel, you might feel like your letting people down if you quit these commitments and etc. You are doing a lot lol, and cutting the string to some of these isn’t a bad idea. Quit the ones that you think would be LESS beneficial to you and your future plans.</p>
