Well, I'm not actually a senior. Graduated, but retaking courses currently.

I have two tests tomorrow, and just can't convince myself to study for them. To be fair, I have an A in both the classes, and the lowest test score is dropped, so I could get fail both the exams without it mattering. But still, feels weird not studying for them. This whole semester I've felt like I've been lazy and lacked motivation. I don't know if it's just because I felt confident doing well on these tests without studying much or something.

Also, I know the application cycle is going to open soon, and I keep telling myself to work on my personal statement and pre-write secondaries, but can't seem to bring myself to do it. Again, to be fair, I started my PS way back in the fall and have already gotten a lot of helpful criticism and positive feedback, but I still think it needs more work.

Exact same boat as you. I've been pretty restless this whole past week and now it's dead week with finals coming up in 9 days. I just want the semester to be over and start my application on AACOMAS then hit submit.

I really want to get the ball rolling on all this and see which schools might give me some love with and after secondaries are submitted.

But that inherit desire for instant gratification is partly the reason why I am in this boat to begin with. So with that in mind, I have to remind myself the days will pass no matter what. I can either being doing something productive with studying or could could be wasting the days away with something meaningless.

Better to turn and burn to finish out the semester strong with leaving it all out. That way we aren't looking back going, "dang I really should have put more energy into that!" Instead after finals, it'll be "Yeah, I did everything possible there. No excuses. I did my best."

No regrets. Finish strong. Stay motivated and study hard. June will be here soon enough. Enjoy the calm before the storm.

It gets even worse when you're already accepted you get the Cs get degrees mindset . I've never received less than an A- in any bio course but Senioritis put me down to a b+

My senioritis is acting up so bad, hence what I'm on here posting in a senioritis thread.

Ps. I'm definitely not in class if that's what you're wondering :/

I am, only 3 days left! Residency can't come soon enough. In truth, the small break between med-school and residency can't come soon enough!

Relax after you've gotten As and have sent out your primary and secondary applications. Applying/interviewing is a bitch, but you have to do it.

Dude. I'm a few weeks from end of first year. But with about 6 tests in the way.
