Hi everyone! I bet you are surprised to see me a little bit early this week! However, I have a question that I want to answer urgently…
This one actually makes me a little bit sad. Has anyone ever hear of Senioritis? I have and I can tell you it is not pretty. This is the time of year when many high school seniors receive their college acceptance letters. I often hear student ask, “since I have already been accepted to college do I have to do well during my last semester of high school? Or can I just coast?”
Let me make this very clear; you cannot just coast. It is extremely important to keep your grades up during your final semester of college. First of all, many college acceptances are conditional upon successful completion of your high school career. Your final grades are sent to your chosen school and if they feel like they are not sufficient they can rescind your acceptance.
Secondly, if you want to be considered for any merit-based scholarships you need to maintain your grades until the end. Scholarships are a great way to pay for college because they do not have to be repaid. The best way to get scholarships is to do well in school.
Finally, your grades still count towards your overall high school GPA. If you are even thinking about vying for a top spot in your graduating class your final grades could make all the difference in the world. Additionally, college is not going to be easier than high school so it is important to maintain good study habits and keep your brain sharp.
Ok, now that I really sound like your mother, get back to the books! You are in the home stretch of your high school career now so do not let senioritis set in. I would hate for anyone to lose an acceptance or a scholarship because of a few high school grades. Trust me, when it is over it will all be worth it!

i have not yet recieved any acceptance letters so
im still sitting AT THE EDGE of my desk with out senioritis!!
yea, Senioritis is DEF real and when you think about slacking, or cutting one of those boring classes, remember what your dreams are and what you need to do in order to accomplish them
You might not have to do as well as say your junior year, but you cant just stop doing your work. I want to so badly but i know that colleges are still looking and it looks bad to suddenly stop doing work. That just shows colleges that you can be very lazy.
i believe in senioritus and i beleieve i have a bad case of it. but i know that i need to finish up high school the right way to be able to mae it in college
i believe in senioritus and i know that i have it badly right now. but i also know that i need to finish school up the best i can to be able to make it in college
I agree. I’m a junior graduating early and I see so many of my friends slacking off.
Yeah I think you should coast in fact you should try to get as highest as u possibly can!
Personally, I’d like to finish high school in a dead sprint. I agree that good study habits and a sharp mind a needed for college. So why drop the ball now?
I am just a junior and I know that there is even such thing as junioritis and I have experienced a few time… Especially after long breaks! I am kinda worries about next year.. lol
omg! its so true..
iwas giving in but not any more
The urge may really try to pull you in to just not do anything, but college can check up on your grades and then take back the admissions they had offered you earlier in the year. The rest of your senior year really does count.
Senioritis is tough, but you’ve got to just look on the brightside. Only 4 more months until graduation!! Then I’ll be moving on to classes that I’m excited to take
These feelings are real but slacking off during Senior year will affect what you’ve worked so hard to accomplish.
Yes, you cannot just take it easy.
Procrastination is affecting me right now, and I want to know how I can become more active.
this is true. you can’t slack of even after you’ve been accepted into college, which sadly is what some of my friends in high school are doing
I am suffering from senioritis and it is not good at all. You procrastinate to do your homework and to study. You must prevent and avoid from catching this disease. Do something fun, go volunteer somewhere and get the number of days off of your mind.
Great advice, but I know that I should work hard each second. I’m still
looking for scholarships and I won’t stop until I get one.
I guess you can say that I’m an adamant student.
I am also experiencing senioritis, it is truly difficult, but you must continue to work hard. Don’t give up!
I know that in my situation i will be in great risk of senioritis
i only have one required class my senior year!
Well I feel youi on that and it is going on at my highschool and I am a senior.
yes i agree
Yes I totally agree.
I totally agree and everyone does think they dont have to do well in their final year.
You will get senioritis your senior year. My best advice is to think about your future plans and do the best you can to finish your last year.
