Anyone else feeling . . .

<p>This weird sense of apathy similar to senior-itis?
I know it's my last semester at CC and it's so hard to get stuff done and force myself to care. I keep ditching class. I got into a couple of colleges and I have to maintain a 3.0 but I've been slacking so bad and I'm kind of worried now ><
Is anyone else feeling this way after getting their admissions? If so, any advice/suggestions would be welcome :) Thanks</p>

<p>get ur crap togetherrrr. I feel you on the transferitis because I sleep in and want to miss some classes sometimes, but just make sure to stay on top of ur grades.</p>

<p>Look up stories about people being rescinded from UCLA on this board who have to stay at CCC for another year…should give u a little motivation</p>

<p>The answer lies within your question. You are admittedly worried about the effect that slacking off will have on your grades. Solution? Stop slacking off. It’s all about work ethic. Think about it this way: You’ve worked so hard to get into those schools. You’re about a month and a half away from achieving that goal. Are you okay with blowing that achievement because you got lazy NOW? It’s not worth it. It’s time to soldier up and get it done.</p>

<p>PS, good luck :)</p>

<p>thanks both of you guys! Yeah, it’s my spring break now soo ill use this time to relax and recharge before i go back, i guess. Last semester I had a 3.5 and before that a 3.3 or something . . .this semester, ughhh. :confused: But I know I need to (wo)man up and get my ***** together like you both said. blah! I just want to move out already. I spend a lot of time looking at kitchen utensils and posters and random stuff like that online, hahaha. I’m too excited about finally moving out, I guess.</p>

<p>Ahaha, know the feeling! TOTALLY know the feeling. I usually slack off one day, and around mid-day I realize, “OH CRAP! SO MUCH TO DO!” and just get right back to it. I really could use Spring Break though. I’m start to pile on quite the sleep debt thanks to an odd class schedule and too many papers to be written >_> But, just keep your eye on the prize! You’re ALMOST there, and don’t forget that!</p>

<p>Transferitis has completely taken over…</p>

<p>I, too, am another victim of transferitis.</p>

<p>At least it’s Spring Break though :D</p>

<p>its not spring break for me yet, stupid online classes, i still have an essay, couple of discussions, a quiz and a midterm left, before i can actually get on with my spring break</p>

<p>i knew id get transferitis. what i did? pushed hard(please skip the sexual innuendos haha) at the beginning of the semester and padded my grades like hell. im sitting on 4 100+% in my classes.</p>

<p>Well transferitis has taught me a lesson…here I was my 2 years at community college stressing and being a complete overachiever for nothing. I have put significantly less time into my studies and still aced all of my midterms this semester. I got a 100% on one of my midterms. I am not here to brag or anything. I just feel like I had this epiphany…that I dont need to be all stressed out all of the time to do well in school. So I am kind of happy that transferitis has happened to me… :)</p>

<p>My school doesn’t have spring break… at least I am done April 29th.</p>

<p>I’m much more apathetic but somehow maintaining straight As in all my classes except Calculus 2. I’m doing fairly bad in that class though! Need to get it together.</p>

<p>^im in the same boat as you, but I still have an A in my calc 2 class…for now…hahahaha</p>

<p>Please also remember that if you want to go to grad school at any time in the future, they will look at your grades from this semester… so keep that in mind!</p>

<p>You don’t need all A’s, but you do need to get decent grades. B’s are not hard to get at all so once you realize that you are feeling the transfer laziness kick in you probably have to lower your expectations a little. Shoot for B’s. Then when you transfer, all the motivation is back on your side. That’s why you take at least 1 guaranteed A course to average out your last semester a little better. Always take an easy A in your last semester before transferring. That’s the best advice I can give to future lazy transfers. It will curve your semester GPA and allow more breathing room (less pressure) for the other classes.</p>

<p>keep your eyes on the prize.

<p>damnit I’ve got transferitis so bad its not even funny. </p>

<p>Look at me right now! I’m sitting here browsing collegeconfidential when I’ve got a calc test on wednesday and i haven’t done homework for the past week an a half. *** AM I DOING!! </p>

<p>So ya, I understand where you are :)</p>

<p>Guys, I’m so on board with this. My transferitis is absurd! I left a semester’s worth of Psych hw, and a 200 question midterm to study for until the very last day…Let’s just say that I need a stellar 2nd half of this semester to salvage an A (highly unlikely) and a strong showing for a B. We’ll see what happens :/. I feel like I should never procrastinate again after that midterm shot me down hard.</p>

<p>All this being said, I’m going to actuvely try to reduce my procrastination from now on. I’m also going to try getting into the habit of going to office hours for some of my classes. </p>

<p>I’ve already started somewhat…I’ve reduced my College Conf. use a little bit lol.</p>

<p>My big time wasting thing is Facebook. Ugh.
The sad thing is that most of these classes I took this semester are easy As. Or should be.
I just had a midterm for my Intro to Music class and my transferitis was so bad that my textbook was still in its shrink wrap until the day before the midterm. And I’ve ditched that class a LOT. On the first test I got like a 60% or something, cause I had never opened the book and because I can never bring myself to pay attention when I’m actually in class either :frowning: So I pulled an allnighter cram session (hahaha, innuendo) and took some of my ritalin (for which i have a prescription for btw!) and I totally ACED that *****. I know I got a high A. Might have gotten one question wrong maybe. </p>

<p>I’ve never been a studier. Or a hard worker. I’ve learned how to do reasonably well (3.3-3.5) only spending about two hours a week on each class, the very minimum. I know this transferitis is bad because now I can’t even bring myself to do that minimum. I probably spend about one hour total on all four of my classes in a week and the rest of the hours stressing about what I need to get done for the classes . . . :frowning: I’m just not motivated anymore.</p>

<p>But hey! I’m so glad a whole bunch of you replied to this thread and feel the same way! That helps a lot, actually! :slight_smile: I’m on spring break now and I’m sure most of you are too. Enjoy your vacation and if you’re still waiting on some college admissions, like me, try not to worry about it for a few days! I’m gonna try to stay off the Internet this week and do something fun instead. Hope it works . . .</p>

<p>^^with a work ethic like that idk how you’ll survive the ucs.</p>
