<p>okay it is hitting me full force right now. tomorrow is the last day of the semester, and my quarter grades are the only things sent to colleges which is obviously great</p>
<p>BUT next week is midterms, and while they aren't going to affect my admissions, i still want to do well- after all it's 10% of my final grade</p>
<p>how are the rest of y'all coping with senioritis? is there something you do to get on track? is there a song i could listen to or a quote or something that I could read to motivate me to study? </p>
<p>seriously i've been working on this paper since 3:00 and i have 1 1/2 paragraphs done- i keep going to CC, then facebook, then phone, then repeat</p>
<p>That's like telling a child they should eat their vegetables because of the starving Armenians. How does just comparing yourself to them ever help their situation? Being gracious is one thing, but I doubt his senioritis really has much to do with them.</p>
<p>Mono- you shouldn't play the guilt card with me. i've lived in rural villages with no electricity or everyday amenities, and seen street children in developing nations huffing glue to stave off hunger pains. yes, i'm going to college next year, but i'm not an ignorant person who doesn't care about others. in fact, i'm majoring in international studies to try and help improve education and opportunity for people around the world, so who are you to judge me? just because i was one of the incredibly lucky people in this world who was born to wealthy parents doesn't mean i should be criticized for it. yea that may be unfair but at least i'm using my opportunities for the betterment of society. no i'm not a perfect person, but why does that make me worth any less than anyone else?</p>
<p>if i read too deep into your comment, i'm sorry but you shouldn't judge me based off of one post on cc (so if i was too hasty to judge you, i'm sorry). i wasn't looking for an insult, just some advice</p>
<p>^Yeah, I think you read too deep into it. He probably just meant it as inspiration (kinda like a phoenix rising out of ashes thing...idk)..but what country/countries?</p>
<p>My family is from a rural village in India and there so many kids drink pesticides to off themselves, its sad.</p>
<p>i was in kenya this past summer- it was an amazing experience and so much of it was wonderful, but there are some things that you just can never get past
i thought the post as very hostile, but i'm also very tired and stressed lol</p>
<p>Well, the comment was a little inconsiderate but I wouldn't say toward you. That sounds like fun, wouldn't want to be there now..I know what you mean. You see some messed up things oversees. I think everyone is tired though, I got a little senioritis.. Its like I come home and stay up until 12 just thinking, tired the next day and waiting on the mailman.</p>
