Stressed out ranting (that really has no point but I needed to get it off my chest!)

Called in sick from school today, because I have so many things I need to get done and I don't have time sitting in class and listening to something that's completely unrelated to what we have to do. I know school is all about learning and stuff, but honestly, when I have this much shit I need to hand in before graduation I can't afford spending 7-8 hours in school without being able to do what I have to do. Ugh. I just feel like giving up on it all because it's so overwhelming, I was hoping I'd get through this final year of HS with the same grades I've had throughout the other years, but it seems like they'll be a lot lower this year unless I get my shit together these last few weeks... Blergh. I just want it all to be over, but right now, this is what I have to get done in 3 weeks:

2 half-hour seminars in English
A valedictorian's speech in English
A 10-minute presentation about my project in English
An exam in Philosophy
A seminar in Philosophy
Hand in a 4-page essay in Philosophy
An exam in Spanish
A half-hour presentation in Spanish
A 10-page essay in Computer Science
A discussion in Social Studies
A 15-page essay in Social Studies
A 10-page essay in Psychology
A 2-page essay in Esthetic Arts
An exam in Esthetic Arts
A 6-page essay in Nutrition (yes, it's a course xD)
A 5-page essay about my project
A photographic exhibition about my project
National exams in Maths

And I haven't even started these things due to everything else I've had to do. I just feel like hiding under my cover and never getting out of bed again, and on top of all this is all the organization that has to be done surrounding graduation itself... Getting clothes, shoes, send out invitations, decide on cakes, try and make the cakes, decide on food, how to transport people...

Okay, I'm done ranting, I just needed to get some complaining off my chest because there's really no one I can tell this to except you guys I'm going to go make myself some coffee and get to working!

  I feel ya. I had about the same work load for my college finals a week before. Best advice I can give is to separate it into smaller parts and give yourself about a 20-25 minute break in between or you'll burn out.

  I know how you feel . I need to write a 2500 research piece, do one accounting test (and maybe one more that is unannounced), trade stocks and also KNOW everything so I can do my final exams. Just break it up as Sora said. What also works for me is constantly going over content. The more that you read it, the more that you will retain. Try studying for 30-45 minutes and then taking a 10-15 minute break (Psych students have told me that 45-15 is the best ratio for studying). Also try doing things in blocks.
  
  E.g: 1 hour English/1 hour Nutrition/1 hour Computer Science/1 hour Spanish etc.

  Thanks you guys! Feels good to know I'm not alone, and thank you for your advice. I'll try and break it up and see if it's easier that way! It was just very overwhelming at the time I wrote this, now things are looking a tiny bit brighter though One month until graduation!
