<p>Hi!</p>
<p>So when a HS senior who is already admitted into a great college gets senioritis, what are the repercussions in the first year of college?</p>
<p>Lets assume this senior was working hard till HS junior year, and is quite intelligent.</p>
<p>So does senioritis affect the first year of college as well?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Depends if he’s stupid enough to not grow up.</p>
<p>I would be the greatest example of a success story from senioritis. I was totally lazy senior year, but some how got a 3.9 due to ap classes and such. However in college I learned to wise my act up and it actually irritates me now to see people acting in the way I used to in high school. The quicker you mature enough to know whats truely important the better. Do you think my roommate and his 1.4 gpa is going to have much success landing a good job after college? My guess is not likely…What makes a company think that someone would work hard for them if for 4 years they did jack squat?</p>
<p>It better be easy, lol, because I have major senioritis now.</p>
<p>Go to class. Do your hw. Study for exams. Just do all those things, and there’s still plenty of time left over in college to hang out, party, and post on CC.</p>
<p>^^^ to me, senioritis is just another term for procrastination (so no, procrastination never goes away unless you really want it to). It really depends on what you mean by ‘senioritis.’ When you enter college most kids are excited for new coursework, professors, etc. so they tend to try to stay on task. But once kids start partying and realize that it’s okay to skip class once in a while, sometimes “college-itis” kicks in. Partying and skipping class is definitely all right to do in college. BUT before you can do this, you have to know your limits of how much you can do without hurting your college education/grades. Learning how to time manage in college is a lot different than in high school, so it might take a while. I have learned that procrastination (waiting until the last minute to do everything) actually tends to make me more efficient. This may or may not be the case for you</p>
<p>^^^I echo that you should know your limits. I skipped some classes the whole semester and got A’s. My professors did not take attendance, and just read word-for-word off of powerpoints they posted online. In situations like that why go to class? Just know your limits and what you can and cannot get away with and you will be straight. You will learn that you have a lot more time in college, because more than likely you aren’t in class for 7 hours a day like in high school. However just realize that some classes your grade is made up of 2 tests thats it! So sometimes it helps to form study/work habits specific to the class.</p>
<p>I’ve heard it said that the student you are second semester senior year of high school is most likely the student you’ll end up being at least freshman year of college.</p>
<p>I’ve heard that said too, but I don’t think I believe it. The reason senioritis hits is often a lack of interest in classes and high school at large. If the students had any interest in academics at all (and not just the admissions rat race - obviously, this is not all students), it will return with new classes and a new atmosphere.</p>
<p>kindaslick89 pretty much summed up my senior year as well. I didn’t show up to half the classes and ended up with a final 3.3 HS GPA. </p>
<p>I’ll admit, my first 2-3 weeks, I thought I could go in with my high school tendencies, no reading or studying and realized I needed to do more. Now I have a 3.1 C GPA first semester and am scheduled to be an RA next year as well. You could say I did a complete 360 as I am involved with many organizations and events and still have a good time Friday and Saturday Nights.</p>
<p>College is all about time management and learning your limits on what you need to do, what you want to do, and what you CAN’T do.</p>
<p>I had mild senioritis, but by the beginning of freshman year, I was pumped and ready to start something new. My grades freshman year were a lot better than those during my senior year of high school, so I guess it really didn’t affect me.</p>
<p>took me 3 semesters to learn :(</p>
<p>It depends on what kind of university you’re attending.
In my situation, I got kicked into shape after about a week, once you realize that everyone else is kicking it into gear and you’re just coasting.</p>
