Senioritis is characterised by a general lack of interest in school, while most prevalent during senior year, especially during the spring, it can also manifest towards the end of the school year in juniors, sophomores, and even freshmen. Its is known to cause a slip in one's grades towards the end of the year.
Not only seniors can get senioritis.
The potentially life threatening disease that most commonly affects graduating high school seniors. It affects 99.9% of the population of high school seniors. It is most common in the second half of the year, especially after receiving college acceptances, thus provoking the common predicament among all seniors: “what am I even still doing here??”
Common symptoms:
- overall lack of motivation towards anything & everything.
- Wearing sweatpants at least 3x a week. (Bonus points if it’s the same pair of pants)
- Going to bed at 2am. Not because of homework, but because of Netflix ... because...duh.
- Unable to function without coffee.
- Arriving late.
- Substituting regular school clothes for pajamas .
- “huh???”
- Copying the math homework from Slader 5 min before it is due.
- Excessive use of the term “No.” in response to any task given.
- Not constantly checking your grades for the ~first time ever~ in all of high school. (You probably forgot that online grades even existed, until your mom called you frantically asking why your Econ grade dropped from A to C in one month.)
- Scouring the house for your textbooks on textbook return day, because you misplaced them at the beginning of the school year and haven't touched them since.
Cure:
- Graduate. Have fun feeling the same way in 4 years when you are about to graduate college!!
