If your will to survive academically is thinning, do not worry. You are not alone. Your desire to graduate prematurely, solely for the sake of not having to turn in an assignment ever again, is extremely common.Â
You have Pre-Senior Senioritis.
How did you get here? Well, there is no known cause, but some report it is due to over-assigned work, lack of productivity time, and limited room in the brain for more knowledge. Although it is a common diagnosis, there are ways to battle this severe form of senioritis: The faster you pass all of your classes, the faster you willl graduate.

No one wants to experience two junior years all because they were absent too many times and had to take a class over again. No matter how unmotivated you may be, think of the reward. Most classes do not allow more than two unexcused absences, so make sure you look at the syllabus so you do not get points taken off of your final grade.
College Costs a lot of Money

Many of us are breaking our bank accounts and doing the most to pay for classes, so do not pay for more than you have to. The high cost of tuition should be enough motivation for you to keep up with your work. Just think about all of the money you are wasting for every hour you procrastinate. Usually, for every credit you take there should be an equal amount of hours taken to study for that class, or to do work. For example, if you are taking a three-credit hour course, you should spend three hours a week or more completing work for said class.
Make Your Friends and Family Proud.

Everyone has some kind of tight-knit group of supporters cheering them on during their collegiate career. When the going gets tough, this is the group of people who you go to for advice, venting, comfort, and support. Make them proud. They want nothing more than to see you walk across that stage at graduation.
