The end of the school year is obviously very stressful and comes with tons of hard work and effort. There will be many tasks and finals and assignments you are faced with. Every student is stressing about how their going to finish and either what they can do to get their grades up, or how their going to maintain their grades with all the finals coming up. Here are some things you can do.

A common thing to see in students towards the end of the year is giving up on their grades. They look at all the finals and projects and assignments coming up and they don’t think they can pull through. If you are having trouble you should talk to your parents and teachers, or the school counselor, you also need to have good use of your time and work on time management, a good thing that helps is using a planner. By using a planner or notebook, you can log all of your tasks and everything you need to complete, and assignments. Staying organized is a big thing for the end of the year because students will usually feel drowned in assignments.

Kylee Murbach, a senior at THS was asked about end of year stress. She said “Staying focused and finishing strong are good things to try to do. Also identifying coping mechanisms when stress is to much. Students should be aware that it will involve increased stress and they need to prepare for that by eating good, getting good sleep, exercising, and making sure their mind is really alert. End of the year has good and bad things, summer is coming soon but every student will have finals and it comes with a lot of stress, you have to keep your priorities straight and have good time management.”

Zack Gage, a junior at THS and asked about end of year stress, He said “The end of the year is usually the most stressful part and it can be really hectic, what you have to do is stay focused and be organized and do everything you can to finish strong and get all your assignments in. Sometimes when I get really stressed I will shut down and fall apart but I have to find ways to motivate myself to stay on top of my stuff. You have to stay up on your missing assignments and ask your teachers anything you can do to end the class well. It can be hard but you have to pull through and you will be happy if you see a good result.

End of the year stress is a big thing and can be really tough, but there are many ways to get past it and stay on top of what you need to do in order to succeed. Stay focused and organized to finish out the year strong. It will take time and be hard but think that after your done you can be relieved and go into summer!
