Past senioritis sufferers?

<p>If you had a bout of senioritis in the past (high school), and are in college now, can you chime in?</p>

<p>How did it affect your transition to college, academics-wise? Did you find that you had catching up to do? Did you find that some senioritis still lingered in you?
Or, were you back up to your usual standards upon stepping onto campus?</p>

<p>I went from a 4.0 first semester of senior year, to something like a 2.7 second semester, and will have a 3.97 after my freshman year in college.</p>

<p>You’ll be fine if you’re an academically motivated person, but simply didn’t see the point in putting effort into grades which have absolutely no bearing on your future.</p>

<p>Disclaimer: if there’s a possibility that you may, at some point, want to transfer, then second semester grades are significant. </p>

<p>The reason I did so well in my first semester of senior year was that my grades from 9th/10th grade were ****e, and I wanted to show an upward trend. </p>

<p>Ultimately, I was still only accepted to mediocre schools, and even though I knew at the time that I would want to transfer to a more intellectually challenging school after a year in college, keeping up strong grades in second semester wasn’t worth the opportunity cost of not smoking weed every day for seven months.</p>

<p>^^ I dont see the correlation between keeping up strong grades and smoking weed everyday for seven months.</p>

<p>I’m lazier in college than I was in high school. </p>

<p>To be honest, I don’t really care about being teh awesome at school any more. Still have a decent GPA, but whatever.</p>

<p>anyone else?</p>

<p>I checked out after junior year. The time junior year ended until the time I shipped for boot camp was one big blur. My grades didn’t even change that much (~3.0 all through high school, a few AP/Honors courses). I never worked. I remember, on a typical school week, I would organize with my friends and we would hang out at this house on the sound (the water) drinking, smoking, playing cards, listening to music all day long. Those were the days… Those were the days… The only things we noticed different about the weekends would be that more people were available to hang out with us.</p>

<p>As a disclaimer, I didn’t go to college. I went into the military, so it mattered less to me than most people. I just recently was admitted to Ohio State - although I also go into NYU - but most of my friends weren’t the top 25% of my class. My best friend goes to NYU, one at Rochester, and the rest at SUNY Albany. So go figure.</p>

<p>The fact that you’re worried about it tells me you’re gonna be fine… If you were worrying about yourself.</p>

<p>I have very bad senioritis now but I’m pretty confident that I’ll be fine when college starts.</p>

<p>As a college student, using a free service called ******* can help you stay on top of things. The site provides a free service which allows you to create schedules, read professor reviews, and also share study materials. Especially for those who suffer from senioritis or have problems focusing, this is a great way to get back into the swing of studying!</p>

<p>For some reason it’s hard to post a website, but if you just type in ******* before on your web bar, you should be able to go to the website. It should look like this: <a href="http://www..com%5B/url%5D">http://www..com</a> </p>

<p><em>type in </em>**** where the stars are</p>

<p>I think you’ll be just fine.</p>

<p>I had BAD senioritis my senior year…I would skip school maybe twice a month because I just didn’t feel like going. A have a 3.67 cumulative GPA as of right now, and it’ll probably go up a little bit at the end of the year.</p>

<p>I slacked most of high school and especially my senior year. You just need to kick your but into gear, and realize that it is a whole new game.</p>

<p>i am slacking now, i got into decent schools, i no longer see the point in working hard. i am glad that i get to start over fresh, lol the grades i got in HS kept me out of UT Austin/ so i want be like most college freshman i am going to work my ass off because after not getting into UT/ i realized that if i had done better i would have gotten in. So when i go to college i will just have to do what i have to do</p>
