How do I keep organized with a high school and college to-do list now?
What is the best advice for keeping up with everything due in my senior spring semester as well as completing everything I need to for my "college stuff". I have a very long to-do list!

Make sure you fully understand your schedule and prioritize what matters most. Start with your high school deadlines first—those are non-negotiable since you need them to graduate. Write everything out so you can clearly see when assignments, study time, and homework need to get done.
Once that’s organized, you can start thinking about your college goals and longer-term milestones. Break those into a simple, manageable to-do list and weave them into your schedule. For example, setting a goal like “submit 5 applications in a month” is realistic and trackable.
The key is to keep your goals clear and achievable alongside your current workload. Don’t overcommit or try to do too much at once. Steady progress, even in small steps, is still real progress toward your college goals.
