Senioritis It was the second day of my senior year, my alarm clock starting going off and I looked over, with my eyes still trying to process what was going on, and it read 6:30 a.m. I rolled back over and put the covers over my head and fell back asleep. I realized that I was ill and senioritis had made its way to me and the symptoms were very clear. Senioritis is a disease that was finally established in the early 20th century, usually striking high school and college students causing: laziness, lack of studying, decline in motivation, repeated absences, dismissive attitude, and over wearing of sweats. The only cure for this disease is graduation. Depending on the severity it may come while you’re a senior or in some cases even a freshman.

First, the laziness hit and you can’t seem to bring yourself to get out of bed and no one can say anything that will bring you out of this “funk”. Every single day I can remember my mom banging on my door and telling me to get up after my alarm had already gone off but it was like my body was refusing to get out of bed and I couldn’t bring myself to make that first step. When I finally brought myself to get out of bed I would take my sweet time taking a shower and getting ready and then I would end up being late to school. When I got to school, I’d pull in my assigned parking spot and slowly walk into class and sit down in the very back and slouch in my chair.

They were the most comfortable clothes I had ever worn to school and I was kind of mad at myself for not wearing them sooner. In classes I couldn’t even focus on anything the teacher had to say, all I could think about was how comfortable I was wearing my sweats. I’m pretty sure I wore sweats almost every single day after that and I was perfectly ok with it.
So as you can see, senioritis was a very serious disease that I thought nothing could cure. Until one day in class when I heard one of my friend’s whisper to someone across the room say, “Only three more months until graduation” The biggest smile shot across my face and out of nowhere I had the urge to get all of my school work done. On graduation day all of the laziness, lack of motivation and sweat pants went away and I had finally found my cure, graduation. I thought the senioritis had made its way out of me for good but once I got into college it was
