Hiya!

I can't offer concrete advice sadly since I'm also in Year 13 but I'd just like to say this is completely normal, with this year being one of the most stressful academic years (possibly even the most). If it's any solidarity I too am feeling the stress like hell, also being swamped by homeworks, deadlines, and the pressure of revising for exams. But we will be all done in 8/9 months time.

Once you've sent off UCAS and finished up your personal statement, you may well begin to feel less stressed. Though it can't be guaranteed, I have found this to be the case since sending UCAS off has allowed me to reallocate quite a bit of time back towards things I was and am stressing about, like revision.

If you're feeling really stressed about deadlines and homework, there's always the option of speaking to teacher's about it, and they could help you!
