The 5 Signs Of Senioritis

Senioritis is a disorder that... I don't care

Whether you're a senior who is about to graduate or a sophomore who has no idea how there are 5 semesters of school left, you might be showing signs of Senioritis. It is a common disorder that is absolutely fatal to your school work and affects your entire life. Here are a few symptoms:

1. Complete Disregard for Attendance Policies

You’ve skipped class so many times you’ve lost count. You refuse to look at how many absences are allowed on the syllabus. You just DON’T CARE!

2. Perfection of Procrastination

You have made procrastination a form of art. Not only can you write a paper hours before it’s due, you can write while keeping up with every form of social media. If this was an olympic sport, you'd get a gold medal.

3. Lack of Motivation

Your lack of motivation is not just directed toward your school work, your lack of motivation is seeping into other aspects of your life. Clean my room? No. Take a nap? Yes.

4. Constant Questioning of Post-Graduation Plans

Until this point, graduation was just a figment of your imagination. Now you have to make sure that what you’re doing is what you want to do for THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

5. Sentimental Moments

You find yourself getting emotional at random times just because you know it might be the last time you’ll get the opportunity to do whatever you’re doing. Graduating may mean moving away from all your friends or never getting to be in the ERUPTION Zone ever again. That’s just not okay.

Enjoy college while you can, and bask in every moment of senioritis.

Warning: The University of Kentucky Health Clinic cannot cure this disorder or any of these symptoms.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
