It's a global epidemic -- second-semester seniors everywhere are suffering from the condition that causes symptoms like procrastination and laziness and puts them on the verge of becoming alcoholics. Homework and studying become a foreign language when you are just THIS close to graduation and the summer. Forgetting about, and not doing, anything that you should get done seems to be a temporary cure for all of the stresses that come along with graduating. But, that is okay because hopefully you’re living it up and spending quality time with the people you’ve grown close with over the past four years and making the best of each and every moment. If you suspect you are suffering from senioritis, here is how you can be sure:
1. Your wardrobe for class has made a sharp turn from cute and collected to literally just rolled out of bed.
2. On the days that you do make it to class, you might as well not have gone in the first place.
3. The time you need to write a 10-page midterm paper largely decreases.
4. Studying for an exam means becomes a game to see how much material you can cover the night before.
5. Reading listicles on The Odyssey have replaced any and all work you have to do.
6. Instead of getting grad school applications done, you watch one more (or 5) episodes of that show you’ve been binge-watching.
7. Your Tuesday afternoon study-group meeting quickly becomes happy hour.
8. Wine nights are no longer reserved for special occasions.
9. ... which increase in frequency when people ask you about post-grad plans.
10. When you pass by tour groups on campus, you can't believe you once looked so young and youthful.
11. You know the one cure for this condition is graduation!
