1. skip summer breaks every year
2. motivate yourself to do twice the education per day
3. take mental breaks when needed. if your eyes are hurting, wait a bit before doing work. make sure you’re taking care of yourself before doing work.
i feel like this would be some good goals since I got a bad start, and if I wouldn’t be doing this tactic, I’d be graduating at 19 (or 20 possibly)
+ I’m not gonna focus too much on the growing up aspect as much as the graduating aspect. Teens are still kids, I’m still a kid, I’m gonna cherish the kiddo days.
Word of advice from somebody who skipped holidays and did twice the work to graduate early:
It's very very stressful. Mentally and physically. Rewarding to grad early but also very draining and can impact your mental and physical health so I definitely definitely definitelyyyy recommend you take breaks when you need them and allow yourself holidays and relaxation if you go through w it
Otherwise major burnout can follow up and really take a chunk out of a few years after all that hard work
And give yourself some holidays or summer break time!!! You deserve to also have fun memories to look back on and enjoy rather than just labour. And it'll benefit your mental and physical health in the moment and long run
i had homeschool all day, I had to switch between the MacBook and the iPad pretty frequently due to different questions that required different devices
I so badly want to be my past self, but at the same time I don’t. I had pros and cons to it; I was perky, bubbly, wholesome, but now I just feel like I’m defined by my dead humor.
I just wish I had someone who I could talk to per day and never feel like I would be judged. I wish I could have someone who conversations come to naturally, not feeling forced.
