21 Sure Signs You’re Embracing Senioritis

We’ve been living the college life for over three years now, and our fascinated freshman year selves are slowly being replaced with slightly less motivated seniors. We know campus like the back of our hand, we can take lecture notes in our sleep and the only thing we want to focus on is savoring every last moment we have left. This just-getting-by attitude is a dangerous side effect of the college world’s most widespread disease. It’s contagious enough to spread to your whole class, yet deadly enough to ruin your GPA.

Go get your medications, collegiettes. You’ve officially contracted senioritis.

1. You consider class optional

No attendance policy? Not attending.

2. The only thing you’re not late for is happy hour

Gotta get those $3 specials!

3. You’ll celebrate any and every accomplishment

I made it to my exam! Drinks for everyone!

4. You’ve mastered the art of procrastination

It takes a special kind of person to write a three-page paper in 30 minutes.

5. You’ve resorted to taking online surveys to pay for your bar tabs

Girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do.

6. You get emotional over every “last time”

Oh my gosh, this is the last time I will pass that weird building. *tears*

7. Extra credit assignments are kind of a joke

Ain’t nobody got time for that.

8. The only number you care about is how many points you need to pass

So, do you round up?

9. You’re always down to party…. like always

Going up on a Tuesday is actually a thing.

10. You envy all your friends who already have jobs lined up…

Life’s not fair.

11. …and don’t understand why they continue to try

Less work, more play.

12. The only list you care about is your bucket list

Screw to-do lists.

13. The only important dates on your calendar are sylly week, spring break and graduation

Priorities, people.

14. You spend your free time looking at apartment listings in your dream city

When I become a rich businesswoman, I’m definitely getting this penthouse.

15. You frequently stalk companies you want to work for but are too scared to send your résumé

Total rookie status.

16. You’re disgusted by the eager motivation of the underclassmen

Slow down, freshies.

17. You’ve been searching graduation cap designs on Pinterest daily

So cute. I bet it would only take me three days to make.

18. No matter how many you’ve been assigned, you STILL don’t see the point of group projects

The WORST.

19. You will drive to class any time it’s humanly possible

Walking is overrated.

20. The bartenders know you better than your professors do

I’ll have my usual.

21. You do not understand how it’s humanly possible that you have one semester of college left

……….what?
