Are you on the brink of burnout?

1) You just got home from school. You:
a) scarf down two Pop-Tarts. You're starving because you skipped lunch to get ready for the big pep-rally.
b) tackle your next mission (work,chores,studying,sports) immediately. You're hungry but think you can hold out until dinner.
c) grab some leftovers from last night and take a 15-minute breather.

2) You've had a really busy week: two tests, 15 hours at work, tons of chores. On Saturday you:

a) wake up early and got to the library to get a head start on a science project.
b) don't even think about it. All your friends are tired, too; that's just the way things are.
c) set aside a few hours for a long bubble bath or to see a movie with a friend

 

 

 

 

  
3) It's Wednesday night and you've been studying for tomorrow's history test for an hour-which means you haven't even started studying for tomorrow's English test yet! You:
a) blame your teachers. Can't they get together and figure out a way to avoid a double test day?
b) blame yourself. If you hadn't spent so long at track practice you could have started studying sooner.
c) put aside history and start on the English, getting your mom or Dad to quiz you on the Civil War over breakfast the next morning.
4) You signed up for drama club last year because you wanted to be the next Jennifer Love Hewitt. Now:
a) rehearsals just seem like one more thing you have to do before you can crash.
b) you think it'll look awesome on your college applications if you act, build sets and sew costumes.
c) you think rehearsals are totally fun
