It's not forever

"If I can make it through this week, I'll be good."

What I fail to remember the constant assignments, club practices, and drama-filled friends that take time away from me just trying to survive this emotionally and mentally exhausting thing called "school".

A school week. 5 days. 120 hours. It shouldn't be this hard. My question is...how many times do I have to tell myself to "make it through this one week" just to be able to get up in the morning?

At some point, it's just a habit. Not a choice.

Wake up, get dressed, don't eat because you think you're not skinny enough, smile once you see your friends because god forbid that they think something's up, get through school, come home, go to club practice, get home late, do hw because that one assignment you put off for a week now is due tonight at 11:59, then turn around and do it again.

The adults forget to understand or realize... it gets exhausting and some of us just need a break.

So yeah, that one grade I asked you to round up to a 70 so I don't fail, would be really appreciated.

I don't know, just a thought.
