Seniors: how do you have any motivation at this time of year?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Like I have a thesis statement due tomorrow, and AP Econ and physics tests tomorrow, but I haven't started any of them. Everyone always talked about senioritis but I didn't think it would be this bad >.></p>

2

<p>I like A’s. :confused: GL.</p>

3

<p>I still haven’t gotten accepted (or rejected) to most of the universities I applied to. Which keeps me somewhat willing to get good grades.</p>

4

<p>It’s weird, even though I have no motivation, I still force myself to make good grades. When will this year end?!?!?!</p>

5

<p>I don’t. I still do work but it’s mostly in study halls or really late at night. I just don’t care anymore and it bothers me a little. I should ammend that, I have a little motivation. The top five at my school get to speak at graduation, and I am currently fifth, with ranking stopping after the third marking period. My grandmother is coming up for my graduation from NC and I want to be able to speak if she’s going to be traveling that far. So I will try to keep my grades near their current level in the laziest way possible.</p>

<p>I agree with tbs8569, I have no motivation but I just force myself to get the work done. The only thing in the back of my head is that I still haven’t gotten into my top choice college yet so I need to keep my grades up.</p>

7

<p>^ agree with tbs and redsox. i haven’t been accepted to my top choice school so i just try to motivate myself to keep the grades up. notice, “i try”.</p>

8

<p>Yeah I’m the same. I’m fine with keeping my grades up but it sucks when my health starts to suffer because I don’t start homework until 12 or 1 am</p>

9

<p>I seriously have no motivation whatsoever. My grades are slipping; this is bad @_@</p>

10

<p>I’m in IB, so I don’t know if I get my diploma until I take my IB exams at the end of the year. Therefore, in order to REALLY graduate, I need to pass those exams, which means working hard now.</p>

11

<p>I don’t…just dropped a class today ;)</p>

12

<p>I don’t. I’m just too proud not to get A’s in such easy classes.</p>

13

<p>I was seriously considering dropping half of my classes second semester. lawl. and self studying for any AP tests I desire to take.
The only thing keeping me motivated is the fear of having a college admissions rescinded. darn you second semester!
second semester of senior year should not exist</p>

14

<p>I just do most of my homework at school nowadays during lunch or whenever teachers give us an opportunity to start on homework. As long as I’m paying attention in class, I can also get by without doing too much studying.</p>

15

<p>i dont, i am barely hanging on with mediocre grades, i dont think i have done homework seriously without bs’ing some stuff for about a month now. i just try to absorb everything in class and cross my fingers for the test.</p>

16

<p>My motivation was superhigh first semester (high enough for straight As), but now that second semester has started, I just… idk. I just want to sleep and watch TV. :/</p>

17

<p>Enough I guess</p>

18

<p>ah, the joys of college
it’s infectious</p>

19

<p>I think I’m starting to give up on working hard now, but I shake my doubt and tell myself this.
“You’re a senior in HIGH SCHOOL, and you’re slacking because of an excuse that it’s you last year. What if you’re a senior in COLLEGE? Would you do the same?”
Then I just get back to work, wanting to prove that I’m not lazy.</p>

<p>If God wanted me to be motivated now He wouldn’t have made me a senior.</p>
