Seniorits: As Told By 'Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt'
Huff Post

It's that time of year for seniors. Graduation is right around the corner, and we've done everything: ordered caps and gowns, double and triple-checked our apply-to-graduate form, and planned our senior week itinerary down to the last minute. As much as we love college, there is a part of us that just really wants the festivities to begin and the mundanity of classes and homework to go away.

That's called "senioritis."

It's a disease that develops when seniors stop caring about their classes and are too anxious for the next step to focus on anything trivial. The cast of "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt"understands. As the days go on, we being to feel more and more antsy and sarcastic like the forever-child, Kimmy. Here are some signs you've got a bad case of senioritis:

1. You start being blatantly honest to your professors when they ask if you did the reading.



2. You can't handle even the tiniest obligation.



3. Your diet's gone out the window.


4.You start sharing unsolicited sage advice to underclassmen.


5. You're so old that you've forgotten all the hip words kids are saying these days.


6. You often find yourself drifting off into a sea of missed opportunities and regrets from the last four years.



7. You've become increasingly withered looking.


8. But you walk around like everything's fine.



9. When really you're just an all-around hot mess.


10. But the thing that keeps you going is that zero obligations is just around the corner.

Until you enter the real world, that is. So hang in there, fellow seniors-- the end is nigh for better or for worse.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads.
