<p>I can’t do nothing school wise. My grades are good for now but I’m pretty sure they’ll go down if I continue like this. Somone please motivate me.</p>
<p>haha so true for me…sorry can’t offer any advice. Probably in more dire need of help though…lol…</p>
<p>I have school-itis and it looks like I’m on track for a state school. Learn from me, get good grades before it’s too late.</p>
<p>The only thing motivating me for next semester is that I got 3 B+ this semester…well I think I’ll have 3 B+'s. It’s finals week for me and I think I have a slight chance of getting an A- in APWH.</p>
<p>Here’s some motivation. I’m assuming you are a sophomore in high school… I’m a junior. You NEED those A’s to fall back on. My school doesn’t offer AP’s until junior year, so I signed up for Lang and US History. I got the easier grader for Lit, but in US History, I currently have a C. This is coming from a person who has (had) a 3.9 GPA. On top of this, if you have extracurric’s (theater for me) and don’t normally have a lot of free time, imagine how much stress you will be under next year- PSAT’s, then SAT’s, SAT Subject Tests, college visits, AP Exams… I didn’t believe it when they said that Junior year is the hardest, but it really is. So many of my friends are regretting slacking their freshman and sophomore years. Sorry if I scared you, but doing well those first two years makes it a whole lot less stressful in 11th grade. Good luck :)</p>
<p>I’m experiencing the exact same thing. School is so…monotonous. :(</p>
<p>me too and my classes aren’t too terribly difficult, except for chemistry. Chem is dragging me down, I f’ng hate it, lol</p>
<p>Physics is worse. Enjoy chem while you can :\ lol.</p>
<p>clearly you aren’t even invested enough to be able to spell ‘sophomore’ correctly</p>
<p>it mystifies me that people can go through their entire 10th grade year w/o ever learning this</p>
<h2>Physics is worse. Enjoy chem while you can :\ lol.</h2>
<p>I hope not at my school. My Chem teacher is notorious for being one of the hardest teachers in the school. Haven’t head anything about the Physics teacher, don’t know if that is good or bad, lol.</p>
<p>Sophomore year almost makes me wish I was a freshman again.</p>
<p>Ehh…sophmore year is ok. I have an extremely easy history class and C++, which we get to work together and help one another, and latin, which is a piece of cake in which we never get projects or our hw checked. My only challenging classes are Chem, Algebra 2, and English. So basically, I have it easy, so I’m enjoying it while I can.</p>
<p>I HATE sophomore year. It is like the forgotton year of crappyness. I have like the hardest schedule ever and my GPA dropped .8 after first quarter and I am expecting a similar drop this quarter even though I do 4 hours of hw every day. Junior year means soooo much more to colleges too, ugggggh.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>^Same…I hate this year, worst year of my life by far, it totally makes me want to be a freshman again…</p>
<p>Sophomore year is pretty stressful. I’ve studied for 4+ hours most days and just barely made all As.</p>
<p>Ya… it was terrible. Your stuck between motivating yourself for college and slacking off cause your joining ECs and still used to the relaxation of freshman year. It is also madding cause the teachers all think they’ll be easy by assigning a half hour of homework… ALL OF THEM… 4+ hours later… still here</p>
<p>You can only motivate yourself (in a very loose sense). A couple of people online won’t help you, and if we do actually motivate you based on this, that’s pretty sad. </p>
<p>I’m a sophomore too (like a couple others I recognize on this board, hi Databox?), and I’ve never got the “click” yet in my life in academics.</p>
<p>Maybe you should just accept the things you’re currently doing, it isn’t that bad. </p>
<p>I do maybe like 30 minutes of schoolwork a week and chill/play/sleep the rest. I literally come home, sleep, eat, play games, exercise, hang out (when I can), sleep. Daily.</p>
<p>It doesn’t bother me.</p>
<p>oh and my grades only dropped .08 first quarter, not .8. That would be pretty harsh.</p>
<p>Ahhh, I feel you, dude. I’m a sophomore too, and last year, I did not do as well as I should have. I overloaded myself with marching band and drumline, and I just nicked 4.00 weighted. My unweighted GPA was probably like 3.5. It was not very pretty, considering it was freshman year. This year, I dropped band and drumline, and stuck to music programs outside of school that are less rigorous. I expected to be getting straight As… WRONG. My classes are much tougher, and it sucks. I want straight As so damn badly, but it’s gonna be a hard battle. I have 3 B+s right now, and whether or not I get As will depend on when my teachers will grade the freaking tests!!! My math grade depends on whether or not a test that I did horribly on is over 71% or not, and my teacher is taking her time grading them. My chem grade will be decided by my final. And my Euro grade will be decided on how well I can suck up to my teacher in the last week (seriously, she is biased as hell). I go to a top school in California. It’s in the top ten in the state. But that doesn’t mean much to me if I can’t get straight As because I’ll feel like an idiot compared to all the fking geniuses surrounding me with their 2400 SAT scores as freaking 5 year olds (exaggeration).</p>
<p>Anyways, hang in there, people. I know at this point in our lives, college seems like the most important thing in our lives. But I’m sure getting into Harvard won’t necessarily make you the happiest or most successful man/woman alive.</p>
<p>I can’t think of anything that would make me the happiest woman alive. Short of actually getting Harry Potter-esque magical abilities. That would be pretty satisfying. </p>
<p>Sophomore year isn’t that much harder than freshman year around here, but I have sophomore-itis anyway.</p>
