<p>Ever since the middle of this year (junior year), I've felt really tired overall and started to not care about academics nearly as much as before. I think its because I worked unncessarily hard freshman/sophomore year and also because of my moderately loaded schedule this year (6 APs). </p>
<p>I used to be the kind of person (in 9th grade) that would try to raise anything under a 95% in every class. I would make sure that I knew a lot more than I needed to for every test and whatnot. Now its completely different. My grades aren't so great anymore and I've lost a lot of interest in this thing we call academics. I let myself waste time when I know this is the most important year of high school. I played a good 5 hours of warcraft today...and it's AP test week. This shows how motivated I am as of right now.</p>
<p>Play a sport and find something to invigorate your mind once more. You have burned yourself out and you are not even in college yet. This summer do not worry about your senior year but relax. You are about to go through some stressful times as you ready your college applications and hunt for scholarships.</p>
<p>Let go and find yourself again. The problem is that you are focusing to much on something that you do not have the maturity for. We're not machines and in contrast you need to take a break. If I were you, I would look for something else to motivate you such as a sport or an extra-curricular activity that fits your interests and you do it simply because you enjoy it. I went through the same problem but my solution happened to be debate.</p>
<p>I am sooo burned out. I actually have a C in my AP Spanish class. I've NEVER had lower than a B+ in any class before. I came home and took a two hour nap. And I haven't started any preparation for the AP World History test.</p>
<p>On the upside, I have something amazing to look forward to at the end of the month! Quiz Bowl National competition in Chicago! WOOOOT! ;)</p>
<p>LOL...worrying about C's? I jjust have to laugh. Sorry. </p>
<p>Yeah I guess I feel burned out...last month of senior year, all APs done, I am going to school because I don't want to waste tuition and to see my friends...lol</p>
<p>I'm so burned out. Each class right now is an A-. I feel like a total failure (no, this is not actually sarcasm). I hate my sports, my activities, everything. I just want to watch TV and sleep. I can't focus.</p>
<p><em>sigh</em> I just need to figure things out.</p>
<p>Cheech, I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. I'm in almost the same situation as you, burned out. Freshman and sophomore year, I took extremely hard course loads and did a gajillion extracurriculars, obssessed about colleges. Now, junior year, I see my grades slipping and I am just plain apathetic. I just kind of wish I took it easier but eh what can we do? I can't wait for college to start over... I really don't care what college I go to anymore. Screw the ivies.</p>
<p>I don't know what else to really say. I was about to suffer from burn out this time last year, but I was a total college geek and every time I started to get lazy, I'd tell myself that I'd never get into a school with a B or without 5s on AP exams (yes, I know that was a stupid belief, I'm really good at lying to myself and I'm just that gullible).</p>
<p>I'm now making up for it by letting senioritis completely overwhelm me since none of it matters now, and I'm sure it'll feel so much better for you next year if you don't have junior year regrets. :) Good luck with your AP exams and WoW.</p>
<p>I am burned out. I keep getting stupid assignments. Luckily, today was the last day of that. I have 2 pieces of homework left to do over the weekend and I am done...</p>
<p>today was definitely the cathartic one. Finishing USHistory completely killed any of my anxiety/unhappiness. Went out for a giant thing of ice cream after. Life is good.</p>
