Apathy

I don't really feel like writing a definition..

I have to use the word Apathy in a sentence? Ugh..

Conscientious Apathy

The easy-going way of life. Blissful avoidance and ignornance of common organizations, movements, responsibilities, or anything that doesn't affect the follower. Someone who is a follower of Conscientious Apathy often won't care about a breakthrough in cancer research anymore than they would if they accidentally forgot to comb their hair that morning.

Though frowned upon by the 'go-getting' and influential type, a follower of Conscientious Apathy will often shrug off any criticism and live by the Conscientious Apathy code: "It's great that you care, I'm glad that you care, but, I don't care."

Someone who is a follower of Conscientious Apathy does not do it to be rude or harmful to others, the way of life is chosen to relieve stress and to find a more peaceful and pacifistic way to survive in times like these. It's controversy is ignored because no one who is a follower cares what others think about their way of life.

"I think it's great that the Lung Cancer Association is around, but I really could care less about it."

"I'd love to donate money to the school trip, but I'm not going so I really don't give a crap."

"Is my shirt really that ugly? Well, I'm sure I'll survive."

"Sorry, My Conscientious Apathy is leading me away from that 'Teamwork' conference"

Arpathy

The apathetic feeling one gets while that nothing new of interest is to be found online.
(Etymology: Arpanet + Apathy)

I was slipping into total Arpathy until I noticed my friend updated his blog.

Imminent Graduation Apathy (IGA)

The feeling that a person gets when they are very close to graduating from their undergraduate/ graduate/ doctoral /advanced field of study degrees.

It is characterized by having no motivation to complete your assignments or study for your labs/exams, or invest any effort at all whatsoever in the remainder of your course work simply due to the fact that you are SO CLOSE to being done.

N: "Oh man, I'm so close to being done my undergraduate degree! I have only two assignments left, but I don't want to do them. Why God Why?!"
D: "You, my friend, have Imminent Graduation Apathy (IGA)"
N: "What's IGA?"
D: Imminent Graduation Apathy. You lack any motivation to invest any effort in the remainder of your course work, given that you are so close to being done.
N: You're right, I do have IGA. Why do I have to get it now, right when I'm so close to being done undergraduate?
D: *Sigh* Such is the way of IGA. It is a disease, like chickenpox. There is no escaping it. Everyone must get it at some point in their lives.

Security through apathy

Reliance on nobody caring enough about your account or system to bother trying to hack into it.

"Dude, shouldn't you use a more secure password than 'qwerty' for your Tumblr account?"
"Nah, who would want to bother trying to hack into it? There's no credit card information or anything like that stored in it."
"Security through apathy. I like it!"
