14 Signs You've Got Crippling Senioritis

Let's face it—if you're graduating in three weeks, you're probably experiencing that sweet sensation: senioritis.

Defined as by Urban Dictionary, senioritis is "a crippling disease that strikes college seniors. Symptoms include: laziness, an over-excessive wearing of track pants, old athletic shirts, sweatpants, athletic shorts, and sweatshirts. Also features a lack of studying, repeated absences, and a generally dismissive attitude. The only known cure is a phenomenon known as graduation."

You're probably reading this to avoid working on a paper or studying for finals, aren't you?


1. Getting up for class on Monday morning has become the hardest thing you do all week... and your first class doesn't even start until noon:

2. And you get anxious when you're not let out of class two minutes early:

3. Your planner has begun to look something like this:

4. This is how you feel about participation points:

5. Because let's be real, you have far more important things to do:

6. Your reaction when your professor assigns a new project or paper:

7. And then you remember you'll be stuck in school forever if you don't actually pass your classes:

8. Because your brain has already begun the process of forgetting all of the useless information you've gathered over the last four years:

9. And since you're a senior, you've basically stopped caring about getting 'A's—'C's get degrees, right?:

10. You can't even fake enthusiasm for your teachers:

11. You've decided the best career choice is the one where you can utilize all of your awesome skills:

12. The look on your face when your parents ask if you've been networking for post-grad jobs:

13. Your last finals week arrives and you've lost the ability to care:

14. Basically:


So, class of 2016, be strong—graduation is only a few short weeks away and you can finally say goodbye to endless tests, projects, and nights in the library that you could have spent perfecting your tequila shot game.

Fake it until you make it, grads!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
