Senioritis: noun  /ˌsēnyəˈrīdəs/

A supposed affliction of students in their final year of high school or college, characterized by a decline in motivation or performance.

“I try not to let my grades suffer from my senioritis”

There comes a time in our lives when you simply stop giving a f*ck. Turns out this wide-spread phenomenon has a name: Senioritis. It’s the plague of all student: young and old, near and far. Legend has it that this disease has been afflicting the innocent and the hard working for ages. 

Symptoms include, but are not limited to:

 

Binge eating to avoid responsibilities and/or homework

…but only having condiments in your pantry, because you’re poor AF.

A sudden fleeting of all your worries & doubts

Your response to someone asking “What your plans are after graduation?” are lacking excitement.

A distaste for those who love starting up conversations in class

Not being able to rally when your younger, more youthful friend wants to go out

Much too tired to deal with anything at all, bedtime is promptly at 8 pm 

Not being able to remember why you thought college was a good idea or that it would be “fun”

Total & complete lack of motivation

Oh look, time for another nap! 

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

 

Your life is only as good as your mindset.
