Batxillerat


I remember when last year some students, who now are in second of batxillerat, said that batxillerat was much harder than ESO, that you would have to study much more, or you would have to be up to date with work by reviewing everything we did in school, or doing homework, etc. I actually didn't believe it, I thought they were exaggerating. But yes, here I am, with the lesson learned, you don't really know it until you live it. I have no life. I mean it, I literally have no life. When I'm not in school, I'm at home doing homework, even when I am on holidays school is still there because I know that I have a lot of work to do and I am not doing it.
When I was in ESO the bell rang and I didn't realize that it had been an hour. Now I spend every minute of the class counting how long it takes to end the class. Last few years, when it was Friday and the weekend was about to begin I was so much happier than now, Fridays for sure I didn't do anything, it was my relax day, and I only spent like two hours in the whole weekend doing my homework (in 4th of ESO, because in the other school years I could only spent 30 minutes in the whole weekend). Now, I need one more day in the weekend if I want to be up to date with work. 
Aside from that depending on what degree you want, you have the pressure of having good qualifications, because it's not just hard enough to pass, besides that you have to have good marks. Because, yes, we are here because we want, batxillerat it's not obligatory, but if you want to have good studies or a good job it is the quickest way to do it. You can do a CFGS but it will take you at least 4 years to end it, and if after that you want to go to college, it will take you 4 more years. And you spend all of your youth studying, when you were supposed to be living and enjoying life.
And now that we are in the third term and we only have more or less one month left and this is when we have so much work to do; we have to do 2 projects plus starting the TdR, (because if you want to do the practical part in June or July you have to know what you are doing so you have to be informed), one video, finish the blog, read two books, and study for at least 13 exams (of course, we don't have to study to get a five, we have to study to get good marks), in one month! I think this would have to be forbidden, because it's insane.
And that's not all, if batxillerat wasn't hard enough you have to do TdR. So, here is the thing, you spent all the year studying, doing homework, works, essays, and a lot of stuff and when it's time to relax you can't do it because you have to do TdR.
Well, I know it's hard and we have to do it whether we like it or not so, I will make an effort to do my best, end this two years and take a gap year to disconnect from studies and everything
