Sophomore year in High school

So it's day two and I'm starting to feel a little pooped from all the homework. The ap euro load and chem mixed with algebra two homework is enough to take me 3 hours to complete on day two. English honors and spanish 3-4 takes an hour to finish...So does anyone have any tips and does it get better with time cause I'm dying slowly..

Junior year is worse, althought college would be even more difficult by comparison.

Sucks for you, man.
Shouldn't have chose those classes if you knew they gave out that much work and didn't want to do it.

3 hours? You won't know the meaning of "dying slowly" until you get homework that always takes 5~6 hours in high school. Then you get to burn out again in college

OT: Just get over it, the amount of hours you're putting forth for your classes is nothing when you get into college. Devise your own plan of how you want to spend your day after school because I'm going to assume you arrive 4~6pm at home. That should give you around 6~8ish hours before you should go to sleep. I always sleep at 12 and wake up at 6:30 everyday, not a problem for me because I've gotten used to it. Maybe you should try out such a schedule depending on your high school classes? o.o

Adapt to the workload. It doesn't get easier tbh.

"Your competition out there is doing push ups in the raining parking lot while your doing it in a temperature controlled room."

That's what my English teacher always said. There's no need to complain about your work while you're on Basil. There's kids who have siblings to care for or are even home less and are doing your workload or more.

Just clench your fists and keep working throughout "your" storm.
