I’m a senior who just got accepted into my top school via ED II a couple of months ago. It’s been a huge relief, since for the past year and a half I’ve endured nothing but stress over getting into college, and finally that weight has been lifted. Maybe it’s because I’ve already been accepted, maybe it’s because I only have ~2 months of school left, or maybe it’s both. All I can say is that I feel 300% done: homework, studying for tests, assignments…all of it I leave to the last minute, and it’s gotten to the point where if it’s not done by 11:00 p.m., I leave it until the morning (finally catching up on my sleep is a great feeling, I won’t lie).
I’ve always been a procrastinator, but I’ve managed to get things done and done well. I never half-ass things (except for lately), and am not so bad that I pull an all-nighter to finish work I put off (well, I did that once while at a college summer program…paper turned out great). But lately, my procrastination has gotten really bad. I’ve actually started to fear that these habits will continue into college. Now, my school is expensive, and I have a single parent paying, so naturally I’m not inclined to party and screw up while my dad foots the bill. But I am a little concerned. Does senioritis continue into college?
(F.Y.I. I had a 96 unweighted average the first two quarters of senior year…right now with my lack of caring, I’m at about a 93-94 unweighted, so I’m not failing, and my school’s a private college prep, so the work load is intense. Just so you know I’m not a horrible slacker.)
