High School Class of 2018

I WISH THE SCHOOL YEAR WAS OVER ALREADY, there’s so much time for my grades to just completely nose dive. It’s making me feel sooo anxious. :-SS

Does anyone else have this problem where they get incredibly lazy as the end of the year gets closer? :s It’s becoming a big issue for me. I always end up just sitting around at home on the PS4 and putting of homework for the morning and lunch.

Also, @Abbiegalie, that’s a very nice Sehun as your profile picture. :^)

@zoriez Thanks! that’s a really cute Bacon…I mean Baekhyun… picture you have :wink: Baek is my bias in exo after chanyeol.

Yes, I do have that problem, even if school is ending tomorrow I still have this play I need to complete for my creative writing class… I just don’t want to do it. I’m not even motivated and it’s my last assignment…XD I think it’s like the senior slump… just the sophomore version XD… or maybe it’s just being in high school for 10 months straight.

@ak2018 Good job on the SOL scores! I got high 400’s for Chemistry, 500 for Biology, and 534 for Algebra II. The World History II is waived for me since I took the AP Euro exam.

I like your reasoning for not applying by using affirmative action. While I think affirmative action is a good idea, I feel like it’s a little faulty. I haven’t looked in depth, but it seems to me that the lower proportion of URM students is both population percentage and lower average socio-economic status, not ethnicity. I think what you’re doing is pretty admirable.

Happy Birthday @KG5APR ! <:-P

@zoriez that is exactly how I feel.

@ihavenoideawow If you’re going to be doing track next season, I’d highly recommend being on top of your grades 24/7. I had to quit the track team because of my back pain from shot-put and lack of motivation to do assignments.

@KG5APR HAPPY BIRTHDAY! <:-P <:-P <:-P <:-P <:-P <:-P <:-P <:-P <:-P <:-P <:-P <:-P <:-P <:-P <:-P

@aspiringgirl The fact that you already have taken your ACT and have a weighted GPA as a sophomore shows your already academically above most sophomores. Don’t worry, your fine for now! Believe me, I wish my GPA was 3.8 right now.

@zorlez That has been me every single school day since April. It’s so frustrating, I think I’m just slowly losing motivation.

@Abbiegalie Same!

@IrisShadow Thanks! I just feel like I don’t want to be apart of it.

I’m definitely feeling the loss of motivation too. Guess how many videos about chimpanzees I’ve watched in the past week? All while I still have 4 essays to write and numerous exams to study for.

@KG5APR Happy Birthday!

@ak2018 In my school district, Health and PE are two separate classes. I took PE as a normal class during my freshman year, but I don’t want to take health at school because it could bring down my rank, so I’m taking it over the summer.

@IrisShadow Did you guys take your SOLs yet? We’ve been having them all of this week. I have my Chemistry SOL tomorrow afternoon and I’m currently in the library trying to study with the worst stomach. I didn’t eat that much for lunch today, but I’ll pull through. Right now, I would say my worst area in Chemistry is Stoichiometry, so I’m going to do all the practice problems and watch all of the videos I can. I think if I work hard enough I’ll get at least 470, maybe I’ll pass advance.

I remember back in 8th grade I got a 504 in Algebra I, yet I had a C in the class. It was mainly because I never did my homework. I seriously hate doing math homework. :))

@ak2018 @neptuna @bubblylaugh @aspiringgirl Thank you so much for the birthday wishes! It has been a great day so far! :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

@KG5APR Good. Hope it stays that way. Welcome to the 16 and over club, newbie. :smiley: :))

Also, I just calculated my projected GPA, using my projected 4th quarter GPA, and I know it will be at least a 3.71,

So I decided to change my profile pic just to let you guys see what I look like. I’ll probably change it in a day or two. If anyone from my county is on here, hi! :)) So, how do I look? :))

One more day!!!

awww I have an unweighted 3.2 and a weighted 3.6 >:( this year hasn’t been too kind to me, but I’m hoping next year is better :slight_smile: it’s never too late to improve!

@KG5APR Happy birthday! :smiley: There are tons of May birthdays on this thread.

I might be able to get all A’s this quarter… My only B is a 89 in Honors English. :o For once my semester grades are actually good too, I have 2 B’s and both are 88’s. I would need a 98 on the final to get either of them to an A, but at least they are padded enough to stay a B, even if I completely screw up on their finals.

I’m turning 16 on Monday… WHYYYYYY I feel like I haven’t changed since I turned 12. :stuck_out_tongue:
