<p>Any other seniors feeling really lazy/unmotivated now? I spend most of my time on reddit/CC/YouTube/etc. or playing video games because I really don't want to study or do homework. </p>
<p>For some reason, it's starting to take much more willpower to start working than it did in years before, and it looks like it's having a bad effect - my grades are lower than they have been since 8th grade. (Though a difficult class with a bad teacher doesn't help...) Even with math or CS (my intended major fields) classes, I never feel motivated enough to do work beyond the minimum requirement for an A- or so.</p>
<p>Despite colleges taking this semester into account, I don't really feel a sense of urgency because I feel that I'll end up going to Berkeley (which doesn't consider senior year grades) anyway - my ECs aren't exactly excellent, and my essay quality is very uncertain, so I get the feeling that MIT/Caltech/Mudd are going to reject me. So I don't feel very motivated to work in classes like English or Japanese that won't transfer to my college transcripts.</p>
<p>(and wow it is past 3 AM time to sleep)</p>
