4 Symptoms Of Senioritis

Senior year is full of many ups and downs , but one thing is for sure every senior catches Senioritis at one point during the year. Senioritis is normally associated with just lack of motivation, but it is much more than that. From thinking about the future, college applications, going to interviews, applying for scholarships and keeping your grades up, it seems that you can never get a break.

1. You're Stressed

You are worried about getting into colleges. You are worried about getting a job. You are worried about keeping your grades up. You are worried about the future, and top it all off your “to do list” seems never ending. You can't seem to keep up with all the deadlines, interviews, rehearsals, events and studying you have to do. It seems like you're worrying about both the present and the future all day long and you have no clue how to make it stop.

2. Your life seems to be full of lasts

From your last football game to your last exam, your life seems to be full of lasts. It seemed like yesterday when your life was all full of firsts and you never thought the day would come when you were playing your last basketball game or buying a dress for your last prom. You been praying for this day to come since freshman year or even before that, but now that it has you want it all to slow down. Everything is more fast and it all seems bitter sweet. At this point you are coming to know the true meaning of “You don’t know what you have till it’s gone.”

3. You just don’t care anymore

You heard the rumors about this epidemic but now you understand the truth. Somewhere between the first day of school and the second day of school you stopped caring. You have no motivation to go to class, do homework or study. Ever since you got that first college acceptance letter you felt as though you no longer had to try or care about school anymore. Your grades seem to be dropping, you're missing class, coming in late and leaving early. You don’t care if you have a A or a B. Motivation is running low and all you want to do is leave.

4. You're both excited and scared.

You want it to end and at the same time, you don’t want it to end. You're excited for the future and all the “firsts” you will have. You're excited for a new school, a new job and overall a new life. You're excited for a fresh start, but at the same time you're scared to leave the familiar. You're scared for the homesick days when all you want it your mom's cooking. You will miss the familiar streets and restaurants. And most of all you're scared and excited for change.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
