Early-Onset Senioritis, As Told By GIFs

When you're still an underclassman, yet drink enough coffee to kill a small horse.

Early-Onset Senioritis, As Told By GIFs
KFOR-TV

So you've got it.

You're an underclassman, whether it be in high school or in college, and you're already more than ready for the next step. You're not quite at the point where you can see the end of the tunnel--you're aware that you still have a little over a year (or two, or three,) left to go, but it hasn't quite hit you that you still need to be trying your best. Your motivation plummets, your sleep schedule dwindles, your caffeine intake skyrockets.

You've got senioritis. But you're not even a senior.

... Sound familiar?

I share with you in these struggles. Believe me, I feel your pain. That's why I've compiled a list of my all-time favorite GIFs to better express the pain that is having senioritis as an underclassman. (Because I am a full believer that it's real):

1. You use just about everything as an excuse to not do work.

I need to... uh. Nap. And take my dog outside. And water my succulent that died last week.

2. You almost always decide to sleep instead of doing something productive.

Naps are greater than all things.

3. You convince yourself that you "work best under a tight deadline."

This is fine. Totally fine.

4. AND convince yourself that you have more time than you actually do to finish everything.

So much time left to cry.

5. ...So then you're always left scrambling 10 minutes before your paper/exam.

This is no longer fine.

6. Trying to balance a social life, homework, sleep, exercise, a balanced diet, extracurriculars, texting people back, calling home, and finding time to breathe.

This hit too hard.

7. You drink enough coffee to kill a small horse.

*But alas, still not enough.*

8. Your apathy becomes an astounding force of nature.

I ain't gonna worry my life with these things, man.

9. Pulling things out of nowhere with next to zero time and still doing okay.

And here, we have the 10-page paper I wrote at 5 a.m. the morning it was due.

10. Feeling like the end is near when you get into bed every day...

Just let me crawl under my covers and be done, please.

11. Deciding to pick up new hobbies just to avoid work.

I, too, enjoy the pan flute.

12. Trying to motivate yourself with the thought of post-grad plans.

(Usually, to no avail.)

13. Professors asking you to explain your answer in class.

It's far too early for this.

14. When it seems like your life is on a repeat loop between exhaustion and a neverending to-do list.

(Some days are better than others.)

15. Feeling a lot like this dog chased by obligations.

No thank you.

16. Knowing your GPA is going to suffer regardless, so just continually praying for divine intervention.

*Jesus take the wheeeeeeeeeel*

Hang in there, brave soldier. Graduation will be here before you know it.

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
