Maybe it's just me, but I am having a REAL hard time staying focused on this semester! I have 4 exams coming up by next week and I can't find the motivation to study!?!?!?!? All I can think about is Dental School, Interviews, and SDN!!

Anybody else suffering form this condition?
 
yesssssssss! i'm so glad i graduate in december, but i just wish it was sooner!
 
I am struggling with this SOOOO badly....December cannot come soon enough! :scared:

I have never been this unmotivated in my life....i thought it was senioritis at first but now i really think it's aspiring dental studentitis I just want to KNOW!!!
 
Huh....I graduated back in May. I feel pretty good 😉.

I was about to make a thread about this but you already did so. I have 4 tests next week as well and another one tmr...

Seriously I have to get in this time otherwise I am probably gonna suffer from my horrible annual GPA of this year by the time I apply next cycle...!

I have the same symptoms- only known cure is acceptance into dental school.
 
Lol! I know, its painful.

I have a biochem exam in 2 days and I haven't even begun. This is not like me.... I usually spend the last 2 days reviewing, NOT GETTING STARTED! I blame the application process! It has taken over my life :scared:
 
Who you tellin! If I don't get who knows what my GPA will be

I am in the SAME exact position! I also have a biochem exam next week and I haven't even read chapter one! (ok im lying i glanced at it). I also have 2 biochem lab reports due in 48hours, and i only wrote the introduction. THankfully I was smart enough at the beginning of the semester to take a light courseload this semester with Biochem w/ lab being the only science class I am taking....HOWEVER at my uconn interview they brought this up and suggested i take more science classes UGH! I CANNOT WIN! I am so unfocused and unmotivated I just want an acceptance or at least 13219 interviews to feel safe. lol.
 
how to stay focused? easy. think about this: what if you don't get in this cycle? i hate to be a pessimist, but one should realize this is a possibility. OR what if on dec1 you are waitlisted? At least you can show them your new awesome grades and maybe get off the WL.

better safe (and have a higher gpa for next cycle), than sorry (and have a lower gpa than when you applied this cycle).
 
I've had an incredibly easy time focusing…on my golf game. :laugh: I graduated in May and have been playing three times a week since then. Biochem lab reports and exams used to fill my time. Life is good.
 
Same here!

Im a senior but im taking a lot of 1st and 2nd year courses and i just cant seem to care to much about them. I dont even feel motivated unless the task is worth 15% + of my grade
 
lol i have the same issue too

Same here! Except, I haven't been on SDN in foreeeever. Which is weird because I was on it all day every day this summer. Extracurriculars have officially taken over my life. One in particular. Ahhhh I have my first interview on Friday and haven't really done anything to prepare because i have no time :scared:
 
i graduated last year and decided to TAKE on classes because I felt like I was going crazy waiting to hear back from schools. At least with these classes, I have control on the outcome of my grades BUT with dental school interviews and acceptances once you've submitted all your applications...it's all out of my hands!

it's driving y'all insane because the decisions are all out of our hands and in someone else's!
