It'll be ok.

Bonus gif of my reaction whenever a young Oppo is stressed about college-related stuff:

Haha, I'm really excited and everything (and thankful for my college fund and parents), but the essay prompts are so jejune!

See, you're already using fancy college vocab words, you'll be fine!

This is why your senior year is so damn comparatively easy. Take advantage of it.

HAAH! I WIIISH. 2nd-year IB diploma candidate, "blossoming" music career, top-tier select soccer, constant student government events/planning and EIC'ing the school newspaper this year. Plus college research, visits and applications. I slept 45 hours last week and that's no lie.

Heh, well, at least your teachers get to teach you IB. We only have a few schools that offer it (private or public). That's impressive. Soccer and EIC are no joke too. Music and even music careers could be relaxing but I can see that being stress if you are gigging. Good luck with it all!

Thanks! I am gigging a fair amount and my band is going into the studio in February (newly signed, on the label's dime!). The stress level is high, but it's all really fun and I can't complain about being bored ever. I'm so grateful for having the IB program at my school because it's challenging but still rewarding.

That sounds great man. My sister's boyfriend is in a somewhat similar position, just a few years down the road from where you are. Seems really happy, but always busy too. Better than not busy I suppose.
