With only months left before graduation, does every senior flip into another mode? The mode where high school really isn’t at the top of seniors’ priorities is often called senioritis. Senioritis is characterized by a lack of motivation and a decline in performance in the last weeks of a student’s high school career. Many think that senioritis just descends upon a select number of seniors, but in reality the thought of skipping class and homework crosses the mind of every senior. Senioritis is different in all seniors based on the attitude and work ethic they have towards school.…

“Senioritis: An ebbing of motivation and effort by school seniors as evidenced by tardiness, absences, and lower grades” (Merriam-Webster Dictionary. "Senioritis"). All throughout America, thousands of seniors develop symptoms of this debilitating disease, especially during their second semesters. Is this epidemic a legitimate illness, or is senioritis just a rationalization made by lazy students? Although several seniors say otherwise, senioritis is a pseudo-scientific disease employed by students to slack on their studies and extracurricular activities. Despite senioritis being a fake illness, defense mechanisms, or “unconscious process[es] that protect individuals from painful ideas” are commonly used by seniors to make their impending futures seem less frightening ("Defense…
“You’d make a great RA one-day Grant.” Stated my favorite teacher in high school. Because I really did not know the requirements and duties of a resident assistant, I started to look into it and realized that my personality really did fit with this job. In my opinion though, being a resident assistant would not even be seen as a job because I would enjoy it very much. During the end of September, I approached my resident assistant with all of my questions about trying to get this position.…

Stanwood High School, the place I want to leave so badly but has taught me so much.

I have lost all motivation in the last weeks of my senior year, while one day feels like one year.…
When I reflect on my nine years at North Cape, it's hard for me to comprehend moving on to somewhere new. Going into high school next year seems to be a thought that is too early to think about. People always say to me, “You're getting so old!” I always thought I was still in middle school and that I had a while till high school. Now that my year at North Cape is coming to an end it seems unrealistic.…
I have three weeks left of my freshman year, and so far this year has been quite the journey. Although, the journey has kind of sucked if I’m being honest. High school has been alright, but middle school was way better. I miss the nice teachers, the roll schedule, and much more. The classes have been easy this year, but I would prefer a challenge rather than just easy work to keep us busy.…
No matter how much someone hates high school, I think that everybody will miss a piece of it when it's over. High school is filled with drama, love, tears, hatred, and many more emotions. We gain friends, and we lose friends. Some people are involved in so many things, and some people aren't involved in anything. Regardless of all of that, high school is supposed to be the best four years of someone's life, but in a blink of an eye it is over.…
