Sophomore slump is hitting before sophomore year. I feel like I don’t want to do anymore work. I feel like my science teacher hates me. I feel like I’m alone in the world. I feel like nobody cares about me and my feelings. I feel like Juliet Capulet when her parents were constantly manipulating her emotions, feelings, desires, and wants. I know what she felt like when she felt pressured to marry Paris. I know what she felt like when she met Romeo. I stepped back from that and am trying to slow down so we can be friends. Seventeen days until the seniors are gone. Seventeen days till I lose three of my best friends from my school life. Sixteen days till I have to say my final goodbyes to them. Twenty days till it’s truly over. Twenty days till track season is over. One month till the one-year anniversary of my friend’s accident where they dislocated their knee. One month till the one-year anniversary of the last time I ever saw them again. Two months till summer camp. Help. What do I do?
