Senioritis 101

There seems to be a common virus going around campus these days. Everyone is susceptible to this contagion, and most have fallen victim to its sleeping side effects. The virus lurks in dark corners of the libraries and grassy spots of the shade. It is Senioritis, and here’s the low down on this curable disease:

Common Symptoms Include:

• Discontinued Use of the Alarm Clock
• Mistaking Spring Time for Summer Time
• Forgetting Days of the Week
• Neglecting to go to Classes
• Sudden Amount of Free Time
• Sunburn
• Drool Stains on Homework Assignments
• Sudden Strain on the Netflix Movie Server

If you or any of your colleagues are experiencing these symptoms, do not worry; these are common among males and females 18-23, and especially those that are preparing to graduate. Although this may be something you have to live with for a couple more months, temporary relief can be found around every corner.

How to Relieve Senioritis:

• Get Off the Couch!
• Do Anything Productive: Free-Read, Exercise, Be Outside
• Get Up Early, Eat Well, Stay Hydrated

If anything, my recommendation for Senioritis is too get excited. Get excited about the future and what graduation will symbolize for you. Just a few more months and suddenly our lives will begin. College is not the end of a book, or even a chapter; soon college will be seen as the introduction to the story of your life.
