14 Ways You Know You Have Senioritis

It can hit you at any time. It probably already has and you may not even be a senior yet. That feeling that you “literally just can’t” with school anymore and need graduation to come ASAP. This, however, does not mean that you are ready in the slightest to go out into the real world, you just cannot bring yourself to care about certain things anymore that you used to spend so much time on. There is no doubt in your mind that you most definitely have been hit with senioritis.

1. You go to the gym to avoid doing homework.

Because somehow that seems more enticing.

2. You order out more often than making the trek to the dining commons.

Because it’s so convenient and you can stay in your pajamas you’ve already changed back into.

3. You bring your laptop to the library, but end up binge watching netflix instead of studying.

Don’t worry, we’ve all done it.

4. You write a paper in an hour or two and turn it in without editing it.

As long as you pass the class, right? You just do not care enough.

5. You research jobs or internships you can’t even apply to yet instead of doing homework.

While you may not want to actually go into the real world, it makes you feel like you’re being productive.

6. You calculate how many classes you can safely skip before affecting your grade.

Especially early classes on Mondays and Fridays. They just don’t stand a chance.

7. You do your homework about an hour before class, if it all.

Most likely because you forgot and your friend reminded you by asking a question about it.

8. You’ve doubled the amount of alarms it takes to wake up.

Your bed is just too comfy and inviting to get out of just to go to class.

9. You spend your time decorating for the holidays instead of doing work.

Because obviously having the most festive common room and snapchatting it is far more important than studying for your exam the next day.

10. You have no shame going to class 20 minutes late because you need to get coffee.

If you’re going to have to sit through a morning class, you are going to need some caffeine in your system. There’s no way around it.

11. You come up with every excuse not to meet with your project group.

Even though they text the group chat incessantly to set up a meeting time everyone can make it.

12. You call home more often than ever.

It’s always good to have a three hour life chat with mom every day, isn't it?

13. You take more naps than you did when you were in kindergarten.

Because you need them.

14. You can hardly plan what you’re doing next weekend, let alone after graduation.

You just don’t want to adult quite yet.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
