Have you been getting lazier?

I always get lazier as summer approaches. Everyday, I see my handwriting becoming messier and uglier. I stop doing my hw at night, I do them in the morning now. My test scores start slipping, mainly due to carelessness. Anyone experiencing this? Or are you working harder than ever for the exams coming up?

Um, well I'm always the most hardworking and motivated at the beginning of the year. I mean, my grades are the same, but I definitely feel an urgency for summer.

In the beginning of the school year, I was like this: I want to get my average as high as possible.
Near the end: Nah, it does not matter anymore as long as I have an A.

Haha, only on CC. IRL, you'd hear:

Near the end: Nah, it does not matter anymore as long as I have a passing grade.

I comepletly agree with this, but I was perpared. I set up my schedule for the second semester for where I am still taking non-pointless classes, I've got no homework, and good grades are easy. But yes, after committing to college and with graduation on the horizon, I have no motivation for school anymore. Aka Senioritis

I so don't give a crap right now. I'm a senior this year, and I literally couldn't care less what I get on my AP exams. You should have seen my last year though (junior)... I was literally paranoid, and rediculously focused on getting 5s.

Oh God yes. My entire experience with my dull, simple-but-just-barely-hard-enough-to-force-you-to-study-but-oh-my-god-i-just-cant-do-its-so-dull math class has been just baaaarely keeping a low A with as little effort as possible.

I am getting a low A in math too. I had A+ last semester. It's not the matter of studying but rather how careful or careless you are.

I'm over school, at this point. I feel like I'm just going to completely check out after my IB exams are done in the next two weeks. The only thing keeping me going is the fact that this quarter solidifies who will be valedictorian.
