I find it a bit...interesting that I started my college application process in early July (by writing my Tufts essays) ... yet I'm not done.
I still have three colleges left to apply. Those three colleges have essays.
Yay.
A good chunk of my friends are done with the college process. Well, some of them are only applying to three or four schools, so it would make sense that they are done. One of my friends, however, has been done since September...and he applied to almost the same number of colleges as me!
Well, anyway. I have a few quizzes and tests before December break, and I'll be honest....I haven't really studied for any of them.
Oops.
I've just been insanely lazy, and I don't feel like working hard. I know that I have to, seeing that these grades will still be factored into my decision to my various colleges, but sometimes it's so hard! Sometimes I feel as if I don't really..."care," in a way, about my grades. Other times, I feel that the material being tested isn't too hard - and thus I don't need to study that much. Oh the perks of being a high school senior.
I've realized that the name and fame of a college (especially undergraduate) doesn't exactly matter. What matters more is that I'm in the top of my class, I'm happy, and that I go to graduate school and eventually get a job that I'll like. Maybe that's why I feel a bit apathetic about my grades.
I know I shouldn't be, but sometimes I don't feel like exerting a lot of effort for something that really won't matter in the long run.
