<p>Yeah, so I think it's time to admit it....I have senioritis. The ironic thing is that I'm a junior so it came a year early for me. I've never ever been so lazy in my life, all my priorities are out of wack and what usually takes me 3 hours to do at home, I finish in 30 minutes at school. It's gotten to a point that my reputation as "one of the smart kids" in school has nearly completely disappear. </p>
<p>The funny thing is that my grades remain the same, but I feel like if I wasn't so lazy, I could have made 100s in all of my classes. What do you do when you feel lazy/unmotivated/distracted? I feel like if I keep this up, there'll be hell to pay in college (and I really want to do well on the SAT that's coming up but I'm afraid this laziness might take its toll)</p>
<p>I'm feeling the exact same way now! And it just struck me after I came back from Massachusetts at my grandmother's funeral. I mainly think it's because everything is out of whack, and i'm a bit overwhelmed with everything I have to do and make up. It's like, I know I have 2 essays to do, but i'll surf wikipedia instead and the second I get the least bit of motivation to write, it disappears when Microsoft Word opens up.</p>
<p>I'd recommend setting up a very professional, but slightly fun place to do your homework. Make it like an office, heck, even pretend you are in an office doing work. Kinda kiddish but this isn't the first time i've suggested pretending you are in an office. Or perhaps you're a teacher teaching this stuff to your class.</p>
<p>Also, organization is usually a very big work-hamper. Try to get everything together, make a time for different assignments and push through it. </p>
<p>And then just relax. Maybe you need to rejuvenate.</p>
<p>Senioritis during junior year is REALLY bad. You need to snap out of it immediately. Tell yourself that you don't have a choice if you are aiming to get into a good college.</p>
<p>I used to stay in school for a long time because of music stuff, and I would see the janitors walking around cleaning the place as I walked to my locker. I asked myself whether I wanted to end up like that (not that there's anything wrong with earning an honest living). That's all the motivation I needed.</p>
<p>It's physically impossible for me to have senioritis right now even if I wanted to. I've just got way too much hw, tests and college applications I need to do.</p>
<p>How are u getting senioritis so soon? Don't u have a tonne of work to do?? Well whenever u start slacking off, just remind urself that after a few months of hard work, u can relax and do whatever u want.</p>
<p>Yeah, see, but the problem is that the grades I'm making right now are still pretty high. Sry, I'm not trying to sound conceited right now, but if I try to actually work in my classes, I'm pretty sure I can only make about a point or two higher in all my classes' averages. However, I do realize that if I keep this up right now, I won't be able make it in college.</p>
<p>The types of classes I take are all Pre-AP/AP. I have 4 AP classes: chemistry, spanish 4, English 3, and APUSH. Pretty much all my homework are completed at school and I rarely finish anything at home. This takes away a lot of my concentration in class and make me look very bad in front of my teachers, who probably heard very good things about me from previous teachers. I think this problem started about late last year and kept on going since I got a little overconfident about the way my academics have been going at the end of last year. Seriously, does anyone want to share their grades/rank and correlate that to the amount of work they do every night? I really need someone to hammer into my head the right way to approach school and deal with all the stresses of everyday life, I seem to have forgotten....</p>
<p>I feel you on that one, Hamchuck. I've had senioritis since the sixth grade. Thing is, I've never been really into working hard. Not my thing.
And if you think it's bad JUNIOR year, just wait. Haha, just wait.</p>
<p>[case in point: it's 11:18 pm. I have an AP Government test to study for (aka I have to read 30 pages and write a 5 page outline). I also have a mega-huge case study for Microbiology. I have to read an entire novel by Wednesday for AP English. What am I doing? Posting on CC, duh.]</p>
<p>Hire someone to yell at you and make you do stuff every time you slack off.</p>
<p>LOL just kidding :D</p>
<p>Just try to focus and reward yourself every time you don't slack off...ie have a cookie after you finish your homework lol and oh, get off of CC. Right now.</p>
