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.
