<p>I have been slacking hardcore in my classes, and I don't know why. I have just been running out of motivation, I want to transfer to a good school, but a part of me is giving up...what do I do?</p>
<p>trixee :(</p>
<p>I feel the same way... I am not happy here. Last semester in Physics 1 I was raned #1 out of 300 people and this semester Physics 2, same students, I got an AB. I don't know what to tell you. If you are not happy you are not happy. I am trying to think about the consequences and that motivates me a little but still the feeling persists :| However thinking of not being able to get into med school, I studied semi-hard for organic chemistry 2 for a day and a half (I couldn't get myself to do it before that) and I ranked #2/400 so I guess that was alright ;)
I hope we get in, though, that's all I can say. Otherwise, I might withdraw in september and try applying again, because I am definitely not going to be able run on false motivations for a long time.</p>
<p>this always helps me. whenever i lose motivation completely, i just pick it up and read...and wal-lah. just read it. (my suggestion).</p>
<p>That actually has some pretty good advice. Now I don't have to read a lot. =P</p>
<p>after ive sent my midterms im just gonna slack off and barely get a B :)
senioritis college style
until then, it's hard work for me</p>
<p>so you don't want to do any grad/med/law school then/???</p>
<p>well GPA doesn't get transferred (or does it!?), so it doesn't really matter what I get for final spring</p>
<p>Well, you do have to make sure you actually transfer...</p>
<p>Even if you did get straight Bs in the spring, I highly doubt you couldn't pull your GPA up by the time you graduate, so whatever.</p>
<p>no but you do send all your records when you apply.</p>
<p>I had this problem last year. I applied to several schools, and wanted to just put everything on the back-burner until I got my acceptance letter. I could not stay in the present because I was so caught up on May. It ended up being the worse semester, grade-wise that I had had in years.
You freshman have to be wary of this. Visiting CC too often is one sure-fire way to NEVER get your mind off the acceptance. You have to look at this semester in the broader perspective -- think in terms of Grad school, or just think about the simple present. Whatever you do, don't think about May too much.</p>
<p>drug me then.</p>
<p>It's because "I want to transfer to a good school" isn't really a decent enough reason. Everyone wants to transfer to a good school, but you need to give yourself a legitimate reason for this. When or if your college application asks, "Why do you want to transfer to our school?"</p>
<p>It can't be "Because it's a good school." There has to be more to it than that, and that's why you probably have no motivation to do well in your classes.</p>
<p>Is there something you want to study in particular? Does this "good school" have specific resources that you desire to further your studies/research?</p>
<p>It was only until recently that I understood my reason for transfer - I found another family, and felt very at home with the people I did research and activities with.</p>
<p>it is because i ranked #1 out of 300-400 people during the last 2 semesters almost effortlessly and i need something MUCH MORE demnding and challenging. still second in o-chem 2 tho so i am not doing that horrible, just the fire burns for a different place and i can feel it in everything i do. my school is by no means bad. it's academics are ranked at #20 by USNews.</p>
<p>Have you tried participating in an internship of some sort that relates to what you're doing? I used to be really bored myself, but the internships have challenged me on another level.</p>
<p>did research. it is a major void that i feel. only transferring will take care of it.</p>
<p>At least you know how to solve your problem. Good luck, man.</p>
<p>you too!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
