Overworked, Overwhelmed, and Under Paid-Wait, we don’t get paid at all

I literally can’t remember the last time I was bored because I had nothing to do. I ALWAYS have something to do. And, while that seems nice—pardon the cliché—appearances are deceiving. I am so ridiculously over-whelmed, it’s not even funny. I’m in APUSH, a part of four singing ensembles, two dance groups (one of which I head and choreograph), a camp counselor training program, a music school, soon Track (once season starts, someone save me…), my school’s student-run café, and a few clubs that unfortunately I can’t fully commit to. I’m also a daughter with responsibilities, a sister with proofreading skills and skype-ready advice, a student with demanding teachers, and a teenager with friends who always want to hang out.

I yearn for the lazy days where I’d come home and make myself a cup of tea, sit down, and read. When was the last time I read for fun? I still have 25% left to read of a Lolita I’ve been renting since August laying on my bedroom floor…that’s a bit embarrassing.

I’m a sleep-deprived, over-worked, over-whelmed teenage girl…and I love it. At least, deep down—like way deep, deep down—I know I love it. As much as I complain, I wouldn’t want to give up any part of my life. I’ve chosen the road trés difficile, but it’s what I want. Well, except for the homework, of course
