Can I start being lazy now? (College Senior)

College Life

<p>Preface: College senior year starting. Major = Electrical Engineering.</p>

<p>So, I just wanted to run my logic by all y'alls. </p>

<p>-At my college the trend is you interview for full time jobs in the Fall before you graduate (internships in the Spring). Thus, full time employers only will see my current GPA (and I've never heard of an employer asking for a full on transcript. At most a degree verification.)</p>

<p>-All of my scholarships have a 1 semester probation on them. I could probably fail an entire semester and still be above the GPA threshold.</p>

<p>-I'm applying for a few grad schools as a fallback if I don't get hired full time. But again, all my applications are going out before I get my grades from the upcoming semester.</p>

<p>So I can't think of any reason why I should do more than the bare minimum to pass my classes. Why have I never heard of this massive "senior freedom" before?</p>

<p>The bare minimum won’t always get you through life. </p>

<p>I would work hard till the end.</p>

<p>You might actually find that you learn something useful if you try hard. If you know you won’t, pick different classes. </p>

<p>Really, I have no idea if there’s any reason why you’d have a problem if you got straight Cs your senior year. Though you might want to wait until you get a job offer or get into some grad school or something before you actually do say “screw it” and stop trying. Just in case.</p>

<p>That’s the engineering spirit</p>

<p>With that attitude you MIGHT con an employer into hiring you. </p>

<p>But you won’t last long. </p>

<p>You probably don’t deserve a job if you are that type of person.</p>

<p>You give 110%</p>

<p>Interesting responses. 2/3 seem to be to the effect of you suck at life. I suppose all of those responders aren’t planning on retiring until they die. Not much difference between working hard first 3 years of college to be lazy the 4th and working hard 40 years in life to be lazy the last 20.</p>

<p>IDK, if you want to be lazy go ahead, but would it really be that hard to work hard until the very end?</p>
