If your will to survive academically is thinning, don't worry, you're not alone. Your desire to graduate prematurely, solely for the sake of not having to turn in an assignment ever again, is extremely common.

You have Pre-Senior Senioritis.

How did you get here? Well, there's no known cause, but some report over-assigned work, lack of productivity time, and limited room in the brain for more knowledge.

Although it's a common diagnosis, there are ways to battle this severe form of senioritis:

The faster you pass all of your classes, the faster you'll graduate.

No one wants to experience two junior years all because they were absent too many times and had to take a class over again.

No matter how unmotivated you may be, think of the reward. Most classes don't allow more than two unexcused absences, so make sure you look at the syllabus so you don't get points taken off of your final grade.

College costs a lot of money

Many of us are breaking our bank accounts, doing the most to pay for classes... so don't pay for more than you have to!

The high cost of tuition should be motivation enough for you to keep up with your work. Just think about all of the money you're wasting for every hour you procrastinate. Usually, for every credit you take there should be an equal amount of hours taken to study for that class or to do work. For example, if you're taking a three credit hour course, you should spend three hours a week or more completing work for said class.

Make your friends and family proud.

Everyone has some kind of tight-nit group of supporters cheering them on during their collegiate career. When the going gets tough, this is the group of people who you go to for advice, venting, comfort and support.

So make them proud! They want nothing more than to see you walk across that stage at graduation.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
