The stressing virus

Heyah guys. So since some of you know I am in sixth form (finally!) and enjoying the little bit of extra freedom that I have gained. I remember at the beginning me and all of my friends were so happy because we felt like we had accomplished something big (GCSE results yay) and were on the path to...well to succes I suppose. The first few weeks were amazing and we were enjoying it so much. However we are slowly starting to feel the pressure of this extra responsibility and freedom. Right now we are in about the 9th week of sixth form and people are slowly rotting away inside. More and more homework is set and exams are coming closer...even though they are in June/July. We feel like now is the time to prepare for the future and like we should know what we want to do. I had a long conversation with my friend about this and we both noticed that instead of actually working on what we had to achieve now we were only worrying about what was to happen in the future. With sixth form more comes to show than just responsibility. Of course now that we are more mature we have a different kind of life style and parties become more of a normal and everyday / every weekend thing. This means that subconciously, I believe, we have lost a part of what we used to do which was just hanging out and chat for a few hours. This means that we now feel all of this pressure on our shoulders of having to decide everything now while knowing that we are still in an economic depression and that unemployment rates are still incredibly high and feeling like we have lost a part of our childhood. However there is always a way around all of this stress that just keeps on building up inside everyone, apparently. One of my friends actually came with a very good idea: 

"you shouldnt regret the past or worry and stress about the future"

We should be happy that we have the chances that we have to improve our chances of having a good job later even during this economic depression and the sudent fees etc. We need to stick together and enjoy that little extra freedom and that extra responsibility. I believe by embracing what you have now it is a lot easier to have a good time and to enjoy the time that we are in now.
