Need suggestions for balancing studies and other life activities in cbse 10th class
Guys, please don't begin by saying 10th is easy af, I know u people might have clutched 10th by only studying a day before or few months. I need a good 10th class, I want to really put in efforts and be a better person...
A simple intro of me..
Tall, skinny kid,not at all athletic,wears specs, got 97% in 9th & 8th grade. And I'm aiming for 495+ in boards.
But here is the issue, I heard that to get 495+ people need to sacrifice a lot! Like all the extra activities, but I know this ain't NEET OR JEE OR 11TH class to begin with Real Efforts! Still in kinda confused..
Like if I wanted I could just study normally and get around 480 no pressure. But I really wana out do everybody and get the highest possible...
But all the seniors tell me to enjoy my life, like how? Could u be more specific pls?
As I have a inter school basketball tournament in November mid. I'm bad in bb but I have been in school team in previous tournament in 8th grade, but lost the match as we were pretty beginners. But in 9th i tried my best to improve in bb by going daily coaching, but turns out some people are only good in one thing. Like all my friends surpassed me, ngl, I suck at bb, but I like playing it... And this time the tournament is in Rajasthan (I live in Tamilnadu). Even getting selected in school team is enough to just have an experience of going somewhere representing school... But u know life isn't as easy, my seniors keep on mocking me, while my friends think me as a joke in the court.
The way I have been treated in court is polar opposite to how I'm in academics and class. I have topped my class several times, even in all cca activities. But life isn't just abt studying right?
Alright leme get into the issues quickly, why I can't go for selection.
I wear specs, so I got to get contacts lens (for the first time) if I wana pursue bb tournament.
there will be atleast 1.5hrs of daily practice after school, afraid might affect my studies
3)I suck at bb, and so seniors in my team( we gona go in U19) will mock me if I don't keep up.
4)the practice might start from August or sooner.
- the tournament is in mid November or end November, and I have pre board 1 in December 1st week itself...
Why I think I can pursue the tournament:
my friends all aren't good in academics, those who always mocked me or better than me in bb, won't dare to pursue sports this year, they are afraid they will get very low marks( while I'm afraid I won't get 495+ marks, even if I don't study properly ill get around 475-485)
2)this is the last year for these sports and all activities. As from 11th I have to prepare JEE🥀🙏(wallahi I'm cooked)
3)my parents don't care abt my marks. Only I strive for the best marks as possible!
Questions:
should I try to balance both and get mediocre marks? Or focus on studies alone and get 495+?
what if they exams were tough as hell or some osm type of shit happens and all gets lower marks, then people who spent their time doing other activities and creating memories will be same as the people who tried so hard sacrificing everything.
am afraid of fomo, and I might loose my teenage years by locking myself in a room and study daily with no social life
Conclusion: should I focus on making memories and pursue bb even though it might affect my marks? Or only focus on studies and get 495+
Or is there a way I can balance both and get 495+ while in bb?
