<p>I sat down to my god damn final for my hardest college course and looked at the first few questions and just thought “lolz this isn’t happening.” Haha I looked to my left at my girlfriend (she’s a first year at the college) and she looked horrified.</p>
<p>I’m already into my first choice. I feel like you almost have to work at being a bad student to get rescinded. Not worried a bit.</p>
<p>I didn’t slack too hard first semester. Second semester just started about a week ago and things are looking the same so far, but I have a feeling the senioritis will start to hit hard soon :)</p>
<p>how do you guys manage this? I heard a horror story of a really smart guy getting a C in English or something (he’s a math/sci person) and getting rescinded from UCLA.</p>
<p>I had heard that UCs are a lot stricter about rescinding admission than most schools are.</p>
<p>I’m not worried. I had pretty average grades throughout high school and really good ones first semester. So as long as I get at least a C or D this semester, then those classes will be B’s for the year-end.</p>
<p>Now that all that talk about money finally hit me a few months ago and I realized that I was probably going to go to my state school (with a scholarship and an Honors Program invitation), I have already begun to start my decline. Homework? If it’s too difficult, I won’t do it. Midterms? I actually studied. But when it gets warm out, Senior Skip days start. Basically, someone goes on facebook and posts the next day’s weather forecast as their status. If it’s nice, and it’s good timing, then other seniors will comment on it and then the majority of the class will skip the next day and all go to the beach (mind you, we have 400 students a class). So right now we’re all trying to NOT skip until it gets nice out, because we have 10 unexcused absences per semester, and past that is a detention, and nobody wants that</p>
<p>At my school, it’s unlimited. But the local state law says for public schools, that they get 10 total. 5 unexcused 5 excused. Past that they fail you. o.O</p>
<p>…My parents won’t let me skip school. We can choose to have an organized Senior Skip Day, but if we do, we have to do something productive like Community Service or something…</p>
<p>Skip classes, don’t do homework, go late to every class, don’t study. I literally spend all day watching TV because there’s nothing else to do at boarding school, then go to sleep by 10 PM…getting a lot of sleep is nice. It’s kind of coming back to bite me in the ass now, because I could easily fail English this term if I don’t get my **** together.</p>
