Focus on future or try to enjoy teen years?
I’m 16, and I have the option to take summer school, which would let me get ahead and take higher level classes in my junior year. I also wanna have a job soon so I can gain some money and independence. I know it would help me in the long run, especially since I want to work towards a good career, but at the same time, I don’t want to look back and feel like I wasted my teen years just studying.
I see a lot of people my age talking about making memories, going out, and just enjoying life, and I don’t want to miss out on that. But I also know that the choices I make now will affect my future and I don’t want to regret not working hard enough. What should I do?
