5 Signs You've Caught Senioritis
The Rattler

Senioritis is a term used for high school or college seniors who have survived to the bitter end. It's a condition when everything and nothing matters all at the same time. Finals are coming up, but it's okay because you've already calculated the lowest scores you can make to pass each class. You laugh at the fact that you must wake up at 7am even though it's been the routine for the last four years, and rather take the extra 10 min to sleep then actually get ready for school. You've been wearing the same variation of nike shorts and big t-shirts for the last three months, and can't remember the last time you've brushed your hair. Make up becomes less and less important, because really who are you trying to impress? If any of this sounds a tad bit relatable here are the 5 signs to clarify that you have caught senioritis.

1. Short term memory loss


When it comes to remembering dates for papers, test, and assignments, your short term memory loss starts to kick in, and it only becomes possible to start assignments last minute due to your increasingly strong procrastination symptoms.

2. Anxiety or feelings of Discomfort

You’ve been experiencing feelings of restlessness when being contained in the same building for 7 hours, and you have a hard time not checking the time every two minutes when sitting in class for long periods of time. You may also become very skilled at making excuses to leave the class under any circumstance. Bladder infection? Sever dry throat? The bathroom or water fountains always prompt the perfect escape.

3. Inclination to skip class

You have started feeling a desire to skip class, and if you're not in the running for exemptions, you find yourself taking the maximum number of possible absences before having make up hours. You consider Mondays to be optional, and every Friday to be senior skip day.


4. Temporary Wardrobe Downgrade

You can’t remember the last time you wore real pants to class and your sense of style has completely diminished. You’ve built up an allergy to jeans and real bras, but hopefully it's one of those kind of things you grow out of right?


5. The Ability to Go From a 3 to a Solid 10 With a Little Weekend Motivation

Makeup? whats that??? The person you look like at school compared to the weekend you is like two different people. “Jackie.. is that you????”

If you were one of the lucky few immune to Senioritis congratulations!! But if not, only 16 more days class of 2016!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
