<p>I’ve been in a slump lately as well, and I think others in this thread have really nailed it - sophomore year is just so *****ing boring. It’s like, I want to move on to something greater (ie: getting more involved with colleges), but we’ve got this whole year in the way. It just gets so repetitive, too. It’s hours and hours of studying and it all just goes by, day after day.
Also, I learned a lot about people this year. I really know who my friends are, and who isn’t. </p>
<p>Personally, I think my slump stems from the social changes that came about this year. Academically, everything was alright. It was just an evolutionary step up from freshman year. Socially, however, sophomore year was a total overhaul of what I had last year - more a revolution, really. The social aspect of sophomore year has been the troubling part for me.</p>
<p>I just can’t wait for junior year. I know then I’ll be moaning for senior year to come along, but for now, I just want to get the hell out of 10th grade.</p>
<p>I definitely had a sophomore slump which disappointed me greatly since i told myself that it wouldnt happen to me but it did so im trying to redeem myself this year in return</p>

<p>That is EXACTLY the problem with sophomore year. My grades from sophomore year are significantly lower than all other years. They kill my GPA, actually. Arghhhh. Now I’m a senior and it’s my biggest regret rageragerage.</p>
<p>1st semester sophomore year was just bad. I was concentrating more on ecs, and I had my first AP class. 2nd semester I finally learned time management , and it’s been good since then.</p>
<p>Sophomore right now. Goodness, I have no motivation at all to finish my homework and instead leave it to do right before the period starts. It’s awful :/</p>
<p>Freshman year sucked, but sophomore year actually went really well. It was easy enough but I had an AP class to challenge me. Junior year is a fair amount of work but I’m actually enjoying it.</p>
<p>I’m currently a Sophomore. I REALLY miss freshman year. My classes were so easy, I had a lot of friends in all of my classes, and overall I didn’t have a lot of stress. Now I have harder classes and, socially, everything seems a lot worse. I was doing really well in all of my classes at the beginning of the year (I was motivated to do well because I hardly had a social life) but I’m starting to feel less motivated because I’m getting tired of my classes and my teachers. Hopefully things will get better next semester because I’ll have the tennis season to look forward to… but for right now, I agree with everyone else… Sophomore year sucks.</p>
<p>Nope. I had 7th, 8th, freshman slumps, but my grades haven’t been this high since elementary school lol. 95.375 overall average Q1. Half 97s/99s, half 92/93s <.<’’. On top of that, I’ve met a ton of amazing kids this year (mainly juniors… a freshman or two), and I’m finally circling my life around people & things that are important to me instead of what other people want to be important to me. </p>
<p>I’m also figuring out how to be happy. That might be a small part of it.</p>
<p>Ugh- I feel a ridiculous amount of slack-age throughout my entire being. I don’t feel like doing anything but write, read (anything but what I’m assigned), and shop. It’s disgusting and…blah. I am so concerned with my social life this year, and I feel less confident with myself and more preoccupied with… others? </p>
<p>Sophomore year is rough. I don’t feel “fresh” anymore, and nothing seems to matter. Also, since I totally slacked off first quarter while taking the most rigorous course load available my prep school while STILL managing a perfect 4.0 (one of the only in my class), I don’t feel the drive to try anymore. ****.</p>
Hopefully things will change…</p>
