I know we've all heard of senioritis and most of us experienced it senior year in high school. But let me tell you what the real silent killer is: Junioritis.
Junioritis is worse than senioritis because it doesn't hit you in your last year of school, it hits when you still have a year and a half left. That's a long time to put up with these symptoms.
As I approach the end of my junior year in college I've been hit with a terrible case of
1. You're way too preoccupied with finding an internship and perfecting your resume than paying attention in class.
Hello? I'm graduating in a year, I have to make up for the past three years I've spent doing nothing. I need to perfect my resume and transform myself into someone a company would consider hiring.
2. You think going to class is a monumental feat that deserves a reward.
It's my third year in college, I may not have very much figured out but I do know this: going to class is so important. No matter how much of a chore it is, I still go, even if I struggle to stay awake.
3. You don't know the last time you went to class not dressed like a degenerate.
Putting effort into how I look to attend a lecture where I'm hardly going to interact with anyone? Nah.
4. You live on cereal, chicken nuggets, and corndogs because you're broke and have no time to cook.
Plus they taste delicious so this isn't really a loss.
5. Your brain is so full of information you can't fit anything new in.
How am I supposed to study for tests when all I can remember is a random fact from my freshman history class? My brain has reached capacity, I'm tapped out.
6. Procrastinating is your lifestyle now.
Just embrace it. Motivation does not exist anymore. I will find literally anything else to do besides what I should actually be doing.
7. You binge Netflix on the daily.
It's basically therapy and an escape from your life. Then it becomes your life. Oops.
8. You constantly daydream about what it will be like to have more than $2.83 in your bank account.
I'm not looking forward to having a real, full-time job but I am looking forward to not being paid minimum wage.
9. You want to tell the high school students touring campus to run.
I may or may not be guilty of yelling this at a tour group.
10. You cry while planning your class schedule for the next semester.
I still have 28 hours to take? Can I not do that all in one semester?
11. Literally all you can think about is graduation.
Please, can May 2019 come any sooner?
