Hectic Lifestyle.

A busy lifestyle isn't uncommon in this nation we call America. Everyone's working or studying and doing their best to get to where they want to be, not always such an easy task. The pressure starts to build and I think it doesn't only affect one certain age group, but everyone. Adults come home after long days at work and try their hardest to hold in the stress that they bear on their shoulders. They smile and give everyone a hug and show their children sympathy even when they stat whining about something totally unreasonable. My dad for example. He works 9-6 five days a week. He comes home, tired and hungry too. He eats dinner and puts up with all this nonsense my sister, and myself, nag him about. He listens to what we have to say and then still has the energy to help us out with homework or something else. We can all see the true him though, deprived of energy and stress, but still full of loving tenderness that he shows my mom, my sister, and I.
It's not as easy for teenagers though. We carry the stress on, almost endlessly, until Friday when our salvation beckons us and the weekend comes along. But while under this stress, we can barely think or write. Homework pushes down on us and after the first few math problems, we're just lost. We start yelling at others, also due to the hormonal changes we experience as teenagers.
I think the best way for ANYONE to live a good life is to be organized and prioritize what goes on in your life. This may seem cliche'd, but you don't know how much help it is until you actually try it. Don't let small distractions get in the way of your work cause in the end, you'll just be bitching about how "unfair" life and your teachers are for giving you all this homework when it's not really them that's at fault, but yourself. Everyone procrastinates, me being one of the worst, but that doesn't mean we can't fix it. Organize when and how you're going to do your work and you'll have your big projects done in no time, with a better grade guaranteed.
Many teenagers focus on their friends and better halves more than their work, which is a good thing, I personally stop doing homework sometimes and just talk to my friends (trying to break that habit though). Friends are important, but so's your work. It's actually true that if you get home at a normal time and work on your shiet at a good pace, you'll be done in time to talk to your friends and spend time with your family. At a normal pace I mean, taking short breaks and such. But don't just sit there on AIM all day or think about some girl that you saw that you can't just get off your mind. That girl or guy that you were thinking of is probably busy doing something else anyways and thinking of them is just gonna slow you down from achieving what you have to do.
I think saying more would just end up getting more repetitive so I'll just end it here. Basically, keep your head up and don't stress, and you'll achieve anything you want, trust me. (don't come up with dumbass shit like "What if I wanna fly without the help of an airplane, or you'll just end up choking on a dick) =]
