Senioritis is a mental complexion that arises when the student feels defeated by the school system and as a senior is desperately waiting for graduation and "freedom".

This mental state involves students feeling drowsiness or a hazy complexion over their everyday life. Students quit caring about their classes and choose fun and relaxation over the arduous studying needed to score positive grades in classes. This could be very disastrous as the student could end up failing the courses which would lead them to not fulfill graduation requirements.

It is important that senioritis is corrected and motivation is once again found. Just because classes end and summer begins does not mean that work is over. Here are some tips and tricks to get you going back in the game when you feel like all motivation has been lost!

One of the most beneficial things to try when tackling lack of motivation is to go out and exercise! Exercise helps maintain and balance the hormone levels and keeping your body fit and in shape also helps boost your well-being. In addition, exercise can be a stress-reliever and can help your mental health. Even though you probably don't want to get up and hit the gym, it can help a lot.

Not only should you exercise more, but you should also exercise outside. Or, at the very least, spend more time outdoors. Enjoy the glorious weather, take a long walk savoring each moment, or have a joyous picnic in the park with friends. Spending time outdoors improves a person's mood and can get people re-energized and ready to take on the world.

Do things you enjoy and spend time with people you enjoy. Go to a concert. Have a night dedicated to binge-watching movies. Treat yourself! Enjoy the time you have and savor the moment and the emotions it displays in you. With time, the senioritis will hash away and motivation to succeed in harder, time and resource extensive tasks will be greater.

Another tip that could help relieve senioritis is sleep. Make sure that you are getting a full 8+ hour sleep in per night. It also helps if alarms are set to wake up at the same time each morning so that the system feels as if it is in a regulated cycle and can coordinate with the demands asked of it.

Another technique that I have found quite useful when dealing with my own senioritis is making a checklist and a reminder list of all the items due as well as their deadlines. With this list, it is easier to manage the conditions and requirements expected to be delivered and manage your time efficiently so that you would be able to both goof off and do the things you want to do while not falling behind on your deliverable(s).

Hopefully, now senioritis won't ruin your last few months of high school.

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.

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.

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.
