Senioritis - Has anybody caught it? Forum

[traehekat]

I have been a complete bum this semester. I haven't cared less about school in years - normally I am bitching if I receive anything that isn't an A or A-, now I am just happy to be turning things in and occasionally attending class. Feels like high school all over again!

To be honest, I almost feel guilty. I am so used to actually caring about my grades it is kind of natural. It almost feels like work to me to be sitting here not caring, like I made a conscious decision this semester that I will NOT care about school. It has taken every bit of my strength not to pick up that Property outline I have on the bookshelf and start skimming through it. I don't want to be THAT guy.

To add to all this, I quit my job last semester so I had time to study for the LSAT, and I still haven't found a new one because I am enjoying sitting around doing nothing too much.

You are my hero

I'm actually taking 17 credits (what the fuck was I thinking?!) And I'm in 3, count 'em, 3 theatrical productions, one of the is Shakespeare. No wonder when my judicial process teacher assigns a reading on the merits of judicial elections, I'm like Ha ha! That's a good one!

I absolutely have senioritis. I only need 15 hours to graduate and 3 of those hours are coming from an independent study class entitled: Beginning Computing, which is for people with no prior computer experience or knowledge. It should be a barn burner .

[statuscheckerssuck]

I was taking two classes. That was too much work, so I dropped one. My remaining class is with my advisor and I am taking it Pass/Fail. Senioritis? I think so.

[stratocophic]

I've got a near-terminal case. 12 credit hours, classes only on Tuesdays and Thursdays. One of those classes meets on Tuesdays only and lasts 1/2-2/3 of the ordinary 2 and a half hour class time. Another is a project I've been involved in for the 3 semesters (with no actual lecture classes), I just happen to be getting credit for it now. Gas dynamics and judicial process are the only 2 which have any sort of work attached to them. It's glorious.

I think I just rid myself of it after my first exam of the semester. Lowest exam grade I have had in the past two years.

[lovethelaw88]

I have it BAD. I'm taking 5 upper level classes, all of which I need to finish my double major. I'm so busy with extracurriculars (which take up at least 20 hours/week) plus trying to have a life that it's SO hard to make myself do work.

It's also hard knowing that none of the stuff I'm learning this semester will count in any way after May.

[caleng]

It's deadly. One of my classes is independent lab research (two full days a week) and it's tough to be fully invested in research when I know I'm going to be switching fields in just a few months. All I want to do is skip out and enjoy the easiest semester I've ever had.

5th year senior, and yeah I'm pretty much paralyzed

[Pretzel_Logic]

taking 15 hours of easy-peezy classes...one of them is Film/TV Criticism where we watch at least one full movie a week and then talk about it. Last spring, I worked on a paper EVERY WEEKEND. I have about a quarter of that work this semester. I had senioritis in August, too. Last semester I took the LSAT twice...so that kept me busy...and also made me not care about classes. I still go, and do the work, and get As, but I'm coasting for sure. Pretty much I've used the first month to endear myself to the profs I haven't had before so I can skip a lot come March Madness.

however, my funds are low, so I can't really do anything really cool like road-trip every weekend or go out a lot. Oh well.

[pikalove]

I'm supposed to have written a third of my thesis in the past week, which is attempting to give an account of consciousness.

What have I been doing instead? Playing peggle.

Takin 18 hours and seriously run the risk of failing and missing out on law school. I need a full bone marrow and blood transfusion. I have only been to most of my classes one or two times, I have even skipped exams and found a way to excuse and make it up. I wear gym shorts with leggings that are black with navy blue sweaters and always have a beenie or einstien hair, just don't giva a F. I feel like I am in limbow. A campus bus almost ran me over the other day when I jaywalked right in front of it, I had a sac of burritos in my hand so I couldn't shoot him the bird when he honked at me but I just mean mugged him and kept on walkin-gangster. My wife is ready for me to start law school and get motivated again, but I am having fun enjoying this semester. As long as I pass senioritis is awesome!!!!!

i love tls

Zero motivation. Only four classes this semester - two are to fulfill one minor, another is to fulfill another minor, and one is some BS biology course I need to fulfill to graduate. Seriously considered forgetting about my two minors, dropping all but the biology class, and taking it easy.

i can prob do a search but i wonder how much your cum GPA can fall and still be admitted to ls. mine is 3.57 and im wondering how little i can do this last semester and still make it in.

You mean to the point of them revoking your acceptance? I've never heard of that being done.

[swc65]

OMG I love this thread. I have been so embarrassed about how lazy I feel. I only have three classes. Two on Tues and Thurs. and the third is an independent studay. I have no class five days a week! Somehow, I still cannot find the "time" to get my work done!!!

It is so weird. i have never felt like this before, but I am already in at my top choice law school, I have above a 4.0 at my current school, and so many new video games have just been released!!!
