High school seniors especially time starved.
CHARLOTTE BERRY
Longmeadow High
I am over scheduled. My honors classes give out a lot of homework, and that is in addition to the sports I play year-round. Plus, my clarinet, and plus after-school activities, ranging from quiz team to debate club. Often, I do not get enough sleep, but I get to meet lots of interesting people and I do like that.
ERIN HEBERT
Holyoke High
I am definitely over scheduled. I have a lot of homework every night, and college applications and scholarship applications. I am part of a lot of clubs and the annual spring musical and the band and choir. I am very over scheduled and very busy, but I can't complain. It is all stuff I really like, and I would never choose to stop, for the sake of relaxation. This probably isn't good for my health, but I like being busy.
ASHLEY BIEG
Holyoke High
This time of year, because I am a senior, I am pretty busy. Like Erin said, apply to college, FASA, scholarships, essays for scholarships. There is a lot of stuff we have to deal with, plus homework. I don't mind it. I don't think it is a bad thing. Next year, college, I am sure, is going to be even more busy and more work.
MARISSA BERNARD
Holyoke High
I am over scheduled, like Ashley and Erin said, being a senior. There are a lot of applications, and just going out to visit colleges. You have to make time to for it. This is not a bad thing, but sometimes it is just a lot lot. Sometimes, you want to take a step back. But, it is all stuff that is necessary and is fun.
ROBERT KASS
South Hadley High
I am not overscheduled at all. I rarely have hockey practice, and I rarely work. So, I pretty free a lot. I hang with my friends.
