I’m not sure if this is the exact right topic but recently I really have a trouble remembering things. Since it is currently exam season at my school, I always prioritize my study and all until I always forgot about my curriculum activities at school. I’m a leader for my curriculum team at school. When I suppose to go for a meeting with the teachers, I always forgot and straight to go back home. It keeps bothering me until I feel so guilty over it. It is my senior year and I feel bad and pathetic. I just wish that this will not be happening again. I don’t know why but I feel like I disappoint others.

Hey there! Thanks for sharing! You don’t have to feel paiseh or doubt yourself if its the right topic to discuss. Anyway I would like to say that it’s good and sensible of you to prioritise your studies over others during exam season now.
I mean we are all human, we all make mistakes and we have our flaws. Personally, I have troubles waking up on time for school or work which I feel bad for but I’m glad people around me understand that it’s a flaw of mine and I’m not perfect you know. Main point of me sharing that is that hey sometimes people aren’t as disappointed in you as you thought! As an overthinker and people pleaser myself, I was always conscious of what others think about me - are they disappointed in me for whatever small mistakes I do, etc. Overtime, I realised I overthink and magnified my fears and worries, so don’t think too much (easier said than done but maybe think about the reverse like they are chill about it, there’s a slight chance!).
Anyway to provide you a solution of not forgetting about your CCA’s maybe you can have a planner or a keep a checklist. As you have more responsibilities and things coming up, you probably will have difficulties remembering every single detail. You can use your phone’s calendar and start to plan and manage your own time. You can also set a reminder on your phone on the activities you have planned for yourself and other people! This works for me and at the end of the week, I will look back at my calendar and feel productive because I managed to juggle school, CCA and other responsibilities like spending time with my family well. Just sharing with you what works for me so hope it will work for you!
