It’s completely understandable to feel burnt out when you have so much on your plate. However, skipping school can have its consequences, and it’s important to consider a few things before making your decision.
First, think about what you might miss in class. Sometimes, lessons provide insights or material that can help you with your projects or future assignments. If you do decide to skip, try to get notes from a classmate or check if there’s a way to catch up on what you missed.
That said, your mental health is important, too. If you genuinely feel that working on your project will relieve some of your stress and help you get back on track, it might be worth considering. Just make sure to communicate with your teachers about your situation if possible.
Ultimately, find a balance that works for you. You might also want to explore ways to manage your workload better, perhaps by breaking projects into smaller tasks or seeking help from peers or teachers. Remember, it’s okay to prioritize your mental well-being!
