Well, I’m back. This is an article that you might’ve been expecting (probably because we write one about it literally every year). Have you guessed it? Yes, the grade-threatening disease that seems to plague the senior class: senioritis.

Everyone says it. “I’ve had senioritis since I was a freshman,” or “I’ve always had senioritis.” Well, I’m not gonna lie to ya. I used to think senioritis was some sort of excuse these seniors would come up with just to not do their work or something, but boy, lemme tell ya. This senioritis thing is something serious.

I remember when I first started high school, I did everything to the best of my ability, and everything was in before the deadline. Oh yeah, I was one of THOSE freshmen. Heh. Heh. Yeah. Sophomore year is something I’d like to forget, and probably something everyone wants to forget, so yeah, let’s move on.

Junior year was definitely my best year. Well, grade wise. I’m pretty sure I was extremely sleep deprived and spent half of my summer hibernating and trying forget the majority of the year, but to no avail. I actually worked hard because college and stuff, but I still think a part of me died junior year.

But anyway, this senioritis thing. Yeah, it’s pretty bad. I haven’t been doing anything. And when I do do something (haha doodoo) it usually just sounds like I word vomited all over the paper trying to sound all philosophical and whatnot.

I’m pretty sure most of my teachers just laugh at me behind my back because of the things I try to pass off as smart sounding. I’m like 100 percent sure that that’s exactly what happens, but what they don’t understand is that it’s not me. It’s the senioritis.

I wonder if senioritis is considered a serious disease. I’d check webMD, but I’m pretty sure it’ll just tell me I have some sort of cancer, or something. If senioritis isn’t considered a serious grade (and life) threatening disease, then there’s clearly something wrong with this planet. I think I’ll move to Mars. They have water there, ya know.
