Struck with Senioritis
Today is Doomsday, for I have finally conceded to my fate and accepted the fact that I’m down with a terrible case of Senioritis. Senioritis is a term used to describe seniors in their last year of high school/college who grow complacent and couldn’t care less about schoolwork anymore. C’est moi.
I just came back from a wonderful Thanksgiving break and have been dreading starting on my schoolwork. I have quite a lot of shit to do, but the negative repercussions from not completing them shits are not registering into my head right now. All I could think of is WINTER BREAK and WARM MALAYSIAN WEATHER and FOOD and LOTSA LOVE, not papers and exams and studying.
HOW! Snap me awake! It’s just three short weeks to go actually, three weeks of writing two papers and taking one exam, that’s it! That’s not hard at all compared to what I’ve gone through my previous years. I remember last semester, all that flurry of 4 papers and 2 exams and a presentation in two weeks, and all that panicking over looking for an internship.
The worst part is, I HAVE NOT STARTED LOOKING FOR A JOB *GASPS FOR DEAR LIFE
I must be the ONLY senior who is still happily whistling and frolicking around despite knowing that I will graduate without a job or two in hand. And is it strange that I…couldn’t..care…less?
What has happened to me my dear mother god amitabha?! What happened to my drive and passion to succeed in life, my ambitious career goals to be a strong-headed business-suit wearing woman? Haha who am I kidding, I never wanted to be one of them in the first place. But still, I cannot sit down here everyday and munch on my bite-sized honey graham teddy bear cookies pretending like the real world is not really a big deal and that I can take it without preparing for it.
While the entire graduating class is mucking over their almost-perfect CVs and pulling their hair out in agony applying to graduate schools, I’m here wondering what should be my first meal upon arriving at home. I’m an utter disgrace to mankind, and people should just crucify me along with all the other complacent underachievers.
Ok great I just wasted 30 minutes of my life calculating my GPA in the unfortunate events of (godforbid) me getting all Bs this semester. I can’t believe I’ve resorted to such kiasu means to placate myself and to reassure myself that I have room to slack. Well truth is, I DO have room to slack.
But how oh how do I break away from my extreme lack of motivation! I should be looking for a job, or planning for my grand career plans after graduation, or do something meaningful before I venture into the big scary world, not sloth around all day!
Damn, I must say, writing this entry has taken up all my energy for today wtf
*reaches for my pack of bite-sized honey graham teddy bear cookies wtf
No related posts.
No worries! Me graduating soon too and I’m still frolicking around watching Vampire Diaries even tho I have 2 papers in the next two days wtf. Thinking of taking a 2 months’ break after graduation before diving straight to the hellhole that is working life zzz.
hahaahhha oh you~! don’t worry, be a hippie!!! 8D take your time! don’t rigidly plan your future! let everything flows into place with minor planning!!
If I retract your rewards, will that motivate you to get going and hit your GPA targets? Who am I trying to kid? We’re equally incorrigible LOL
wakakakakakakakakakaka
y r u soooooooooooooo funnyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!
nvm u need to have fun okayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!
you’re perfect (almost), a hot stuff (brain-wise), who wouldn’t want to hire you?
if you and i were in a room vying for the same job, i might as well wave white flag before even stepping into the room! heh.. luckily we’re in different field. your cv makes me look even tinier than a speck in the entire mighty universe.
i’m in the same predication like u too. i’ve 1 week to go before finals. yet i haven’t finish my studies yet. i’m so unmotivated to study i plan my revision so last minute that once i’ve completed them, it’s the time for exam. how unthinkable!
i used to scoff at people who just want to score to pass, cun-cun 50 enough already. what, you want 50 only?! i must get 90 and above! now.. i’m one of them. what have happened to me?!
i’ve become so lazy, the 17 yo me preparing for spm will kill herself if in 5 years time, this is what i am.
Heh. Don’t feel so bad. I’m having my STPM tomorrow and I’m still playing Plants vs Zombies here.
life is full of surprises and reality is random so ride on the spontaneous waves and dont be shackled to anything! take things as they come!
there there. ive been that way since like forever. WTF
and after bumming for like forever again. i have still yet to go register myself for class =X oh FML
yes. i have been doing nth since u last saw me. pfft
I’m graduating this semester too and I’m freaking out! Good luck!
HAHAHAHA THIS IS HAPPENING TO ME NOW EXACTLY !! I’VE BEEN TRAVELING HALF OF OCT. THE ENTIRE NOV. AND ALMOST THE ENTIRE DEC. and the only 8 days i spent @ stanford in Nov I went out w/ friends n eat n play n shop T_______________T I was so dissapointed and angry at myself for like 1 day then im back to the watever let me hav fun phase
HA! i know exactly how you feel. my final semester was literally just PENUH DENGAN SENIORITIS i literally just whateverrrrrrr-ed it and couldn’t give two hoots about how I did. it’s a miracle i didn’t fail anything wtf because i just couldn’t be arsed to do anything. and now look! i still don’t have a full-time job wtf if there’s a prime example of failure in life it’s probably me FML.
You’ll one day wake up and decide you should write a perfect CV.
That happens.
smeech, agh don’t mention TV shows to me! i don’t want to start watching them like how i spent a week watching SIX seasons of Weeds wtf. i might take a break too haha

michelle, you think so? okay that’s a good enough inspiration for now. let’s all sit and wait for that day to fall into my lap wtf
are you thinking of going to grad school? maybe that would help in whatever field you are interested in.
your blog is haunting me. i keep trying to press close tab on my browser and it just doesn’t go away. boo :/
work for me then…
this is probably the wrong time to hear this but, this is the only time u have to slack off (after ur two papers and one exam i mean haha) when you get a job, there is NO TIME anymore. to travel, to eat, to enjoy. its always work work work. so, have fun! slack off. delay finding a job. for a month (not too long lar) go on holidays. euro trip or hk again! hahaha.
all the best!
It’s happening to me too! ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH
I like the way how Amber puts it”i’ve become so lazy, the 17 yo me preparing for spm will kill herself if in 5 years time, this is what i am.” SO TRUE.
Well, life IS A JOURNEY, not a destination. it’s the journey that matters most.
this is the first time i see -itis used in this way. i have seen many times -itis used in medical language. i have done a few exams before, another one coming in february. i have been preparing for it for a few months now, and it’s less than 2 months away. i have no confidence at all. i have memorising work and i prefer more practical stuff.i heard cardiologists have the most impressive cv. good luck for your exam, and to me too.for some reason you give me an impression like an ABC, but the way you mention about malaysia is so malaysian. anyway, that’s pleasantly unique.
itis- meaning inflammation –> so by saying senior-itis –> inflammation of the seniors .. does not make any sense hehehehhe
sorry nerdy-fying here *slaps self* my exams comming up tooo !!
Haha don’t worry I didnt look for a job either but somehow things always go the way you want it to be <3
