Juniors, how are you managing?

<p>I want to be done with high school so badly. I wish I could graduate this year and start college next semester. High School is so boring and ridiculously easy. I have a great mom, who let's me do whatever I want. I have no parental interference in terms of grades nor social life, yet I still hate high school. Doing the same thing everyday sucks so incredibly hard, as I'm sure you all know.</p>

<p>now, my senior friends at this point couldn't give a **** about high school. They are about to find out where they are going to spend the next 4 years of their lives, meanwhile I'm stuck here to complete another year. How are you other juniors managing? please only respond if you are in the same boat of hatred as me. I can't handle this ****... i dread everyday of school because it's so freakin boring, yet I know how close I am to true freedom of the monotony</p>

<p>I'm bored too. I don't even know why I'm doing homework. Watching Death Note makes it all the way worse. I didn't study at all for the 1st semester and got a 4.20 and ranked 9/160, while people around me are buried in their books and can't get in top 10%. They are either obsessed with studying or puppets of some sort.</p>

<p>I don't have a social life or any kind of activity, but that doesn't mean my life would be better if I had them. I used to, but it was just as boring. Right now I can say that I wish for some disaster to happen near me - tornado, flood, storm - whatever. WHATEVER to get out of this boring life for a change.</p>

<p>So how do you deal with it? Just ***** and moan 3x a day like I do?
No joke, I can't get the fact that I still have a year and a half out of my head :(</p>

<p>I thought that junior year was the easiest, funnest, and most rewarding out of all of the years. everything kinda just clicked for me academically, athletically, and personally</p>

<p>Time is precious. I'm trying to enjoy my junior year by hacking passwords, blowing up a tree, throwing a broken computer from the 20th floor (not kidding).
Get the crazy out while you still can without consequences :P</p>

<p>I get bad grades and all but i just try to enjoy myself and take off of school and go out all that i can. Even if it is detrimental to my grades, it's fun!</p>

<p>Eh, not enjoying the work. My band has a gig on friday, so we need to prepare for that. To make things worse, I have midterms this week. AND an SAT II on Saturday that I need to prep for. Wowee.</p>

<p>I want to graduate and go to college already. I'm tired of this high school crap.</p>

<p>Ha, at least you're not a sophomore. :[</p>

It really is a great feeling. Especially since I just got an email response from my 1st choice saying that scholarship info is not recalculated based on your end of year GPA, so my grades really don't matter one bit (assuming I don't fail anything)</p>

<p>A girl at my school decided to do this program at the local uni where, as a junior, you go there for a year and after that you get your HS diploma. I sometimes wish I had done that.</p>

<p>Anyway, I manage by staying home "sick" from my 2nd and 3rd bells with some frequency. They're really pointless (I don't have 1st bell anyway) and coming in for my later classes which I actually enjoy.</p>

<p>@King818: I moan and curse and throw stuff across the room every now and then.
3x a day is hella weak. I do that all the time. In the classroom I would spin my chair and stare at people for half of my classes while pretending to take notes. When I'm assigned some group work, I'd continuously say that this book is stupid, that teacher is stupid, etc, etc. I really don't get the American high school atmosphere. What's with all the silly projects that History teachers love to pull? Academic Decathlon? USAMO? AMC10/12? Having come from a country where people take Calculus in 9th grade and make overly artistic/epic/depressing poems since 6th grade, I probably would be able to pull off one or two of those 'competitions' if I try. There's just no point, and people take them to get "recognized", or to fill out an empty slot on their college application. To conciously desire recognition is to desire the right to brag, isn't it? One supposedly brilliant kid participating in my school's AcDec (which got 3rd nationally last year, by the way) is having an impromptu speech about how he accidentally deletes his work without saving. DUH. If that was how he got perfect Honors Essay and Honors Speech last year, I'd be sooo lost.</p>

<p>How do I deal with it? I try to learn hacking and do other stuff with my laptop. I managed to install Mac OS X as well as break my neighbors' WPA-protected wireless networks. And then CC. Otherwise I have no motivation to live.</p>

<p>im moaning, overloaded, too many classes. im graduating early so this is my schedule: 4 classes- 6 AM to 3:30 PM; soccer- 3:30PM to 6:00 PM; shower from soccer, eat: 6PM to 7PM; online class: 7PM to 8PM; 8PM to 11PM- homework; after 11PM or 12AM go to sleep.. it starts all over again :(</p>

<p>DONT EVER GRADUATE EARLY... im taking all academic AP and honor classes and i have no time for myself</p>

<p>Dude, apply to USC in their early program. You can just skip out on senior year of hs and start college. The kicker is you don't actually graduate hs, so if you don't make it through USC you are SCREWED.</p>

<p>I've lived in LA my whole life.. I want to get OUT</p>

<p>Deal with it. You only have a year left. Stop taking high school for granted and make something of it because it will be over before you know it, and you don't know if you will love how college will turn your live upside down.</p>

<p>Junior year
is
the
WORST</p>

<p>I can't stand LA. I can't stand my high school. That weight is harder to bear than any amount of APs.</p>

<p>I've kind of stopped caring about school. Just get those high grades and not care whatsoever.</p>

<p>I love every class except chem lol. I don't really have any monotonous classes :) I really can't wait for senior year, though. Finally going to be able to take some awesooooome courses (not that this year isn't awesome... just less awesome)! Also it's my first year in Academic Decathlon, so that's pretty exciting/nerve-wracking.</p>

<p>Gl with junior year, guys, I hope you find a way to make it interesting <3!</p>

<p>Junior year would be nice if I learned how to sleep better.</p>

<p>Well, maybe not nice, but more tolerable.</p>
