Senior year problems

Anybody having a really tough time motivating themselves during their final year at university? I was fortunate to get a FT offer after this summer, and school doesn't REALLY matter anymore (except for maybe grad school one day, but who knows). It's getting bad and my study habits gone to shit. By the way, I know this sounds like "first world problems", but just wondering if anybody else is experiencing the not-giving-a-fuck syndrome, and I welcome any tips on how to motivate myself since I would preferably like to see my GPA not sink into an abyss.

You have a good point...I should definitely party but I need to put in the minimum amount of effort to maintain my GPA, with future job search as motivation

 

I can guarantee you one thing from experience. If you bust your ass on no matter what you're doing, you will never have a single regret in the future.

Too many kids shut the door on target ugrad schools, networking events, grad school, and lateraling opps because they got a bit lazy. We've all been there, and you should really just try to find the motivation, it's there somewhere.

 

I can relate. I've never skipped classes before, but I go to like half of my classes now and just walk around hitting on girls. Having just turned 21 is a large contributing factor though.

Enjoy it. Keep the GPA up, but this is one of the last points in your life where you'll be able to get fucked up on a Wednesday night, wake up at noon, and crack another beer in the shower while getting head from some chick you met the night before at the shitty campus bar three blocks away from your frat house.

I feel like it isn't.
