Evan, it sounds like you are juggling a lot right now, and it's completely understandable that you're feeling overwhelmed. Here are some time management strategies, attitude adjustments, and creative problem-solving tips that might help you navigate this challenging situation:

1. Prioritize and schedule your time: Take a look at your weekly schedule and identify pockets of time where you can dedicate to studying and completing assignments. It might mean sacrificing some social time or adjusting your practice schedule, but it's important to carve out dedicated study time during the week.

2. Break tasks into smaller chunks: When you have a large assignment or project, break it down into smaller, manageable tasks. This can make the workload feel less daunting and help you make progress even when you're feeling exhausted.

3. Utilize downtime effectively: Look for opportunities to study or review material during downtime, such as on the bus or during breaks between classes. This can help you make the most of your time and reduce the amount of work you need to do on weekends.

4. Adjust your attitude: It's important to approach your challenges with a positive mindset. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by the workload, try to view it as an opportunity to grow and develop your time management skills. Remind yourself of the reasons why you chose this academic program and wrestling, and let that motivation drive you forward.

5. Seek support and resources: Don't be afraid to reach out for help. Talk to your professors, academic advisors, or coaches about your concerns and see if they can offer any support or resources to help you manage your workload more effectively.

6. Get creative with solutions: Consider alternative study methods, such as forming study groups with classmates or finding online resources that can help you review material more efficiently. Look for ways to streamline your tasks and find more effective ways to study and complete assignments.

Remember, it's okay to ask for help and make adjustments to your schedule and study habits. By implementing these strategies and maintaining a positive attitude, you can work towards finding a balance that allows you to excel in both your academic and athletic pursuits. Good luck, Evan!
