Junior year is known for the intense pressure it puts on students with more challenging classes and daunting decisions regarding life after high school. Additionally, with Advanced Placement (AP) tests, the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), American College Testing (ACT), and college tours, it can be stressful finding the time to manage it all. Not only do students have to manage their school work load, but many students also have extracurricular commitments including working, club activities, volunteering, and taking care of family. The Ghostwriter asked current juniors how the stress of this year has been affecting them.
"I think, that in comparison to my previous years, the stress of this year has been a bit elevated for me. Personally, I've been getting eight hours [of sleep] everyday so it hasn't really been affecting me, but I know people who have been getting less sleep and have been stressed," junior Kojo AsieduOtibu said.
