<p>Question to all of you</p>

You could probably get 4 C's and a B and be fine.</p>

<p>^^are both of u serious!!!????</p>

<p>I've been slacking since 8th grade, what.</p>

<p>oh, I'm having the same problem. It feels like, so insignificant when you only have 5 months of school left. But I'm trying to keep them up so I don't look bad to the schools I applied to.</p>

<p>Yeah, senior year is a joke. I've been fighting against it since last May, but I succumbed to the disease in November! Alas. High school is ridiculous; I don't even graduate until June 26th. :[</p>

<p>(My grades totally went down the crapper this quarter, too. Quarter 1, I had a 3.7 GPA; quarter 2, probably a 3.2. Eurgh.)</p>

<p>Oh I KNOW!
My course load includes Calc, Physics and such. It is soooo hard to try and do this crap when my mind is like GRADUATION !!!!
I already got into my dream college, got an awsome FA package estimate and have my summer job at camp all set.
And I can't drop my classes for blow offs because it will look bad. UGH!!!
Evil second semester!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>ugh, today was my first day as a second semester senior, and it was really difficult to wake up this morning. Now, I'm on the computer, completely ignoring all the chapters I have to read for bio, english, econ, and spanish. yuck</p>

<p>One day I'm going to do some research into whether or not this rescind fear is just a generated tool to keep kids at least half-assing it, or whether it is true that you are at a truly serious, probable threat of being rescinded if you go from, say 3.9->3.4 and dont have a viable excuse/reason. </p>

<p>Because as much as teachers tout it and colleges threaten, I've never seen it happen, except once, but that was EXTREME, like As then CCCCC-. I have been told that most admissions commitees pride themselves in their ability to put together the best class and most importantly, NOT get fooled by smooth-embelishers or fake-passioners. Admissions officers dont want to admit they made a mistake and they want to have faith in their top picks. (I'm mainly talking about CC top colleges and Ivys here, no idea about publics). </p>

<p>I think that this great fear of the rescind that keeps me doing 5 minutes of HW instead of 0, is just a hoax. But I'm not taking the risk. And you'll notice from my opening line that I'm, as a senior should, procrastinating the initiation of any type of research. </p>

<p>Basically, please work less this term and have more fun - just try not to mess it up too bad. And for gods sakes, what you don't want to do is post pictures of you doing alchy/drugs on an open facebook page that a college might catch wind of! Or getting into any behavioral issues/fights/vandalism. That's the type of crap that will break you.</p>

<p>From what I've seen, most schools seem to require that your GPA stay above either 3.0 or 2.0 and that you pass all your classes. So as a general goal, aim for a B and try to have more A's than C's.</p>

<p>Yep, I finally made to the time for senioritis. I can procrastinate without so much guilt, and get more sleep. But ironically, I am really tired and sleepy right now because I just simply can't go to sleep.</p>

<p>I love that there are so many juniors in my bio class freaking out about the AP test and SATs, while I get to sit back and laugh. Delicious.</p>

<p>my senioritis bug was inspired to infect me on inauguration day..i swear, i haven't wanted to do anything since.</p>

<p>Day 7 today for me.</p>
