I have junioritis

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>You know how high school students start slacking in their senior year of college because they don't care anymore? </p>

<p>Well, that's basically me, except instead of senioritis, I have junioritis. Yes, that's right, I'm slacking off in my junior year of high school, the year that colleges look at the most and deem the most important. I'm perfectly aware of that, and yet I simply don't seem to care about my grades at all. Even worse is that half the school year has already passed and I'm still not taking things seriously. I procrastinate and waste 3-4 hours of my free time every day. My one and only EC, Model UN, takes up close to no time at all and I also volunteer at my local hospital for 4 hours every week. </p>

<p>How do I recover from junioritis? I want to stop procrastinating so much and start putting my time towards better use. This is really taking a toll on me and possibly my future as well. </p>

<p>HALP!</p>

<p>****. No such thing as junioritis.</p>

<p>There is only senioritis. If you’re doing poorly junior year you are just be a poor and/or unmotivated student.</p>

<p>Junioritis is BS… get over it. Only us Seniors are entitled to any sort of -itis.</p>

<p>The only reason why Senioritis exists is because by that time you’re done. College apps are turned in and all you need to do is just MAINTAIN your grades. Although that is not the case for many who need to show stellar 7th semester grades if they’re borderline for acceptance from a certain university.</p>

<p>Basically they have already finished all their applications and essays and such for college and therefore feel like they deserve a little chill time.</p>

<p>You, you’re just being lazy.</p>

<p>And how do you stop being lazy? Imagine yourself staying up at 4 am finishing an assignment that you should have finished much earlier. Imagine yourself in the future regretting not putting in the extra effort and letting it pay off sweetly later. But then again, trust yourself to know your limits. If you know you can slack off to a certain point and still be okay and you want to do that, then go ahead.</p>

<p>Just wait until next year so you can reap in the benefits ofr senioritis. It’s not worth it to lose it during your junior year.</p>

<p>3-4 hours is nothing. when you start skipping school and spending 16 hours a day on college confidential, THAT is when you don’t care anymore.</p>

<p>I’d like to suggest that “junioritis” is the exact opposite of senioritis. Junior year is THE time to step up performance and show colleges what you’re capable of. Junior year is THE time to focus and commit to higher performance, both in the classroom and in extracurriculars, too! Earlier underperformance can be positively impacted and stronger junior year performance may qualify you for more merit aid.</p>

<p>Just be careful. Junior year is your most important. Don’t blow it off!</p>
