Yep, as the title says, this stress will be the end of me!!!
There just really appears to be so much happening in my life right now that there is NO 'me-time' at all!! Allow me to explain:
My day in general compromises mainly of college and because of my overwhelming timetable, i pretty much finish last lesson every day and so i am there from about 9 in the morning until about 4:15 or so in the afternoon. By the time i get home, the time is anything between 5:00-5:30 depending on how late i leave from college. At this point in time, i am just literally exhausted from college and want nothing more than to just chill and relax for an hour or so, which is understandable right? And then before i know it, it's dinner time (which is usually around 7)... i finish having dinner and chill for a little while longer to get rid of that bloated feeling :\... the time just manages to fly by and before i know it, it is about 9 in the evening.
This literally leaves me with just THREE HOURS until the day is over!!
THREE HOURS is NOT enough time a day to get work done!!
Considering that i have lengthy courseworks due in, mock exam to revise for and university interviews to prepare for, i can JUST about manage to cope with all of it... but, it is when i start getting these random little homeworks ( i say little, they usually take anything between 30mins to 1 hour to do).. but yeah, when i get these random little homeworks to do for subjects here and there and they all just happen to be due in for next lesson or something like that, then i just literally go into *SYSTEM OVERLOAD*!!!
Ahhhhhh, there is just no need to keep giving these lengthy crappy homeworks that just do not coincide with my timetable at all!! Like, the list of things i need to do is bad enough as it is, i don't really need extra crap like just for the sake of it. Because to be frank, it is literally right at the bottom of my priorities and just a pain to be honest.
Having said all of the above, it is important to note that I'm an avid gamer, piano enthusiast (self taught, I'm not that great but I'm learning) and keen on keeping fit as i try my best to work out in order to put my fat/chubby days as a kid behind me :(. BUT i can't even remember the last time I've had a solid gaming session playing non-stop until my eyes are tired or my hands can't move anymore! and i can't remember the last time I've got my keyboard out and tried to learn a new song and I've definitely noticed that I'm starting to get out of shape again as i can't go jogging on Saturdays anymore (because i got to a revision class at London metropolitan universty) and i can't go gym anymore because
a) that would just tire me out to the extent that when i come home I'd just go to sleep and get no work done
and
b) i need to use the slot of time i usually allocate for gym on other work that keeps propping up!!!!
All in all this is the perfect recipe for STRESS!! and i am STRESSING out!!
The lack of time i have to do work when i get home (3hours) usually results in me staying up late until 1 or 2 o'clock in the morning to complete it. This results in me not getting enough sleep, thus making me more tired for the day to come and so even more tired for when i get home the next day. This cycle REPEATS itself and has been repeating itself since September!! I truly believe this stress will be the end of me... *sigh*
So i suppose my Monday Question Of The Day is...
'How do you deal with your stress?' ... like, do you have set way of dealing with it that is guaranteed to work every time? Do you have any words of wisdom that really might be able to help me?

In response to your question; try to switch off. At certain points I just stop caring about certain things e.g. little bits of homework. Just tell the teacher it's too much to handle at the moment and you have more important things to do such as coursework. It works, teachers aren't entirely heartless and they really do understand what it's like.
I've been getting quite a bit of work to do lately too, mainly for English Language. I get Editorial Writing tasks for practice for the January exam, they take at least 3 hours to do and on average I get 2 a week. It's hard to cope but somehow I manage to do it, I'm just lucky my other subjects aren't putting out as much work for me to do.
Don't worry Arryy you'll survive! :)
