<p>The case of senioritis is severe at my school. I am so unmotivated, and I keep procrastinating my work. The first term of my senior year, I managed to get As in all classes. But, this term, I don't know what happened. My grades are dropping dramatically, and I know I will get at least 2 Bs and less than 4 Bs in my AP classes on the mid year report. I don't pay attention to any word my teachers are saying- I keep daydreaming or thinking about my early decision school. I always wait until the last minute to study.</p>
<p>A lot of my friends are experiencing this situation as I am. One classmate who applied ED to UVA stopped taking notes, especially in AP Physics and AP Calculus. She used to be grade conscious and took heavy notes, but she stopped. Now we both don't care when we get a C or D on quizzes. </p>
<p>Any stories you want to share? Any comments that can motivate not only me but also other seniors who experience this?</p>

<p>Seniorosis here....senioritis is the inflammation of the senior. Seniorosis is a condition/defect of the senior. I go to a medical magnet school though! :-) Anyways, I think it started with me, and I'm a junior. It is just that there is so much pressure to perform well at my school, that is breaks you into two.</p>
<p>It's especially bad at my school. 95% of us are doing the full IB diploma so everyone has a hell of a lot of work, but no one is really doing it or putting in an effort. Just tired of all the work and just want to get out.</p>
<p>Last year senioritis hit everyone pretty hard, but it hit me the hardest. I was getting ready to leave the state after school got out, and there were more important things to take care of at the time. I had already gotten into school and my IB tests would mean essentially nothing in the long run. I stopped showing up to class (I only showed up to take tests and give presentations, but I never did homework from then on). Luckily I had already done enough work before this slacker-status kicked in such that my grades did not plummet below the "A" threshold, but it got a lot of people angry at me. I simply argued that it was my decision, and they weren't being forced to go to class either. My report card for that semester was interesting: It went from an average of 2 absences to some ungodly high number I don't even remember now.</p>
