senioritis - anyone else have it? I just returned from the bars here and I thought, man, if it I didn't already have a few acceptances I'd be in studying, but why not live it up before 2 straight years of hitting the books followed rotations and RESIDENCY?!?...I'm just hoping someone else can relate to my lack of motivation to finish undergrad (seriously, are these random liberal arts GE's going to apply to anything that I do with my life - i know the memories I make at the parties will stay with me forever!)

I'm in the same boat, senioritis is rotting my brain.
 
My amount of studying has definitely decreased. I used to get anxiety when I took a 5 minute break from studying. Now, I get anxiety thinking about studying. I literally have to drag myself away from SDN to hit the books.
 
i am taking 3 classes this semester adn 4 credits of research grades pass/fail... on friday i have decided to take my literature class pass/fail bc i have three papers due for it this month and have not started on anyone of them. and you know what? i dont really care. lol.. i am enjoying relaxing and spending time with friends and partying a little more.. after 3 years of working my a*ss off, i think i deserved it.
 
Same here!! I am really reaching the breaking point. I mean grades do not motivate me AT ALL at this point. If I had been getting these grades earlier in college, I would have been FREAKING out but I really don't care at this point. Stuffing premed into 3 years, and then applying really takes a lot out of you. After this semester and most of my interviews being over by Feb, I look forward to relaxing, partying, and doing everything I didn't get to do the past 3 years. And honestly, I think everyone should because in a couple years you are really going to wish you had.

YAY SENIORITIS!!
 
Ah, college and senioritis....I remember it fondly. :laugh:

The irony for me that while I had little motivation to do work, I think my senior year GPA was somewhere around a 3.9. But I hadn't applied to med schools yet, so those grades still count (thankfully!).

But it was a good time, most definitely. Enjoy it while you can!
 
The inflammation of the senior?? AHHHH! 🙂
 
dont feel guilty about it. it is the greatest time you will ever have. enjoy every second of it. please!
 
wait till Spring quarter or the last semester, that's when senioritis will own us haha
 
something else has clearly set in in my case, as I read the post title as "señoritas has clearly set in"
 
what a relief to see i'm not the only one feeling this way. it's hard to stay motivated, and i've procrastinated so much compared to past terms...

Salty Senoritas maybe, if you're from the AZ area 😉. Anywho, I have felt a little bit of the drag of senoritis, partially because I'm done with my degrees more or less and I'm taking 12 credits each semester. I'm forcing myself to keep busy by working two jobs, because after all these years of honing my study skills, I don't want to lose them before medical school!
 
I am studying now because I feel compelled to not mess up my acceptance. But then again, Hopkins did say "We do not rescind offers of acceptance for anyone who obtains “Bs” in any of their remaining courses. There are a number of other reasons far more serious than this that could result in Hopkins having to change an applicant’s status from “accepted” to “acceptance withdrawn,” or something representing a similar action."

I don't plan on getting arrested, so I should be okay.
 
I made sure I finished all my major classes and prereqs before my final quarter because I knew it would be a difficulty quarter to study. I took 3 classes: one GE, one for my minor, and a random one I was interested in to make sure I was still a full-time student. And I took them all Pass/Fail, so I only needed a C 😛
 
damn me and having a chem minor. i have to take biochem in the spring for it. sadly if i decided not to do it, i would have no class on monday wednesday or friday. seriously, 4 day weekends all the time? that would have been glorious. but instead, i'll have biochem to look forward to. 😱
 
After an acceptance, I don't think you need to put yourself under pressure to get a high mark.
It's totally legitimate to slack off to a degree.

But if you don't have an acceptance, you might want to maintain a certain range of GPA.
*wink to self*
*nod*
*pat pat*
 
Well I have a test tommorow and can't study. So I'm having a beer in honor of all my senioritis afflicted friends in this thread.

This is to you guys.

*off to the fridge*.
 
Only 1.5 of my classes next quarter count for something. The rest are for fun/ I need to have enough units for my scholly to kick in...
 
i am sooooo failing this semester (not really failing but might be getting bunch of Cs). When i come back from an interview and go to class and fight not to fall sleep. and i only have 8 crds, i dont know wut i am gonna do in the spring, i think i might take some scuba diving class or something really cool to take.
 
wow, i think i have something worse than senoritis...infact, what i have is much worse than senoritis, so bad that i have the first case of its kind seniorosis.

i am taking 12 credits. 3 classses and 2 credits of research. i go 2 about 2 classes a week (on which meets once a week) and a mandatory lab. i go 2 lab whenever my PI sends me an irate email about why i havent been in lab for the past 2 weeks (interviews, duh). ive taken 3 tests all of which ive studied for only the night before and all day leading up to the test, resorting making rediculous nmenonics and tricks to memorize **** that i have little to no conceptual understanding of (91,90,78 yay me) do labs and papers all the night before (all b's)...i go to the bar 4 nights a week, getting **** face wasted on 2 of those nights at least, i play basketball for hooours at a time instead of going to class or i jus hang out in the dorm while wathcing sports center and eating fruit snacks and sippin on gatorades :laugh:

my brain is rotting, i can feel it. im lodged right now preparing for an interview at a top 10 school tomorrow and i have group prenseation (requiring 10 pages from me) due tuesday. havnt started. havent looked at the article. and instead of sleeping, or preparing for this interview...im on sdn, wathcing sportscenter, and tagging facebookpictures...

seniorosis my dear friends, seniorosis:meanie:
 
Senioritis, coupled with a particularly hard class I'm taking that's required for my major has me contemplating dropping to an easier major. I wonder how going from a biochem/chem major to a bio/chem major will look to a school that's already accepted me.... lol.
 
I cannot wait to graduate:yawn:. I'm sitting at my computer trying to write a 6 page paper on Shamanism. I cannot focus at all. I still care about my grades, but I'm seriously lacking in the motivation to actually study.
 
lol. How are you guys doing it? Seriously, no matter what, senioritis is NOT kicking in for me. Sure, I'm beginning to procrastinate more, but some part of me wants to graduate with Latin honors. Bahhh, I don't know what to think anymore.
 
surprisingly, senioritis hasn't sunk in. i'm pretty sure it's bc i'm taking interesting classes... classes which i've wanted to take for a while but couldn't fit into my schedule during the past three years.
 
I have senioritis real bad right now. I just received a letter in the mail from my school saying the only thing I have to do to graduate is pass one class and write my senior thesis. It's gonna be a lazy rest of the semester for sure.
