Senioritis is a decline of motivation or performance by students during their final year. This is my second case of senioritis. In high school, toward the spring, I took a countless number of "mental health days" as I liked to call them. I found myself sleeping in later, binging Netflix and just doing whatever I wanted. However, every senior should not feel too ashamed of this kind of laziness. I mean, you did work four years of your life to get to this moment. So enjoy every moment of your last days as a student. If you have been experiencing the following symptoms, you may be suffering from a case of senioritis. The good news is that there is a cure. The day you receive that diploma that costs you 30 years of paying off loans, you'll be in the real world paving your way with your career.
1. You don't even buy the books for a single class in the semester.
At this point it's a waste of money and you solely rely on the Powerpoints from class.2. You go out ... a lot.
You can't get away with drinking on Mondays, Tuesdays or Wednesdays after you graduate, so you take full advantage that no one will call you an alcoholic for drinking that much during the week.
3. Skipping class is a weekly routine.
You skip at least three times per class and don't even bother with e-mailing the professor with some excuse.
4. You stop caring about your appearance.
Bare-faced and an outfit that screams "hobo chic." Sweatpants and leggings are worn even though its warm spring weather.
5. When you are given an assignment, you procrastinate.
Writing a two-page paper now takes six hours rather than two. Even if you can bring yourself to sit in the library, you still find a way to distract yourself.
6. More concerned about "Senior Week" events then graduation itself.
Your main concern is what you are going to wear to the last day drink, picnic, dance, etc.
