Senioritis does exist

FACT

There are three days of classes left, yet you roll over and turn off your alarm clock. Your 8 a.m. isn’t important. You’re paying someone to write your final paper on the aftermath of the Civil War. Your beer pong table is set up outside, your backpack is left untouched in your room. Graduation is a mere two weeks away. You’ve mailed it in, and you just don’t care.

Senioritis is real. It affects high school seniors already accepted to college. It affects college seniors, whether or not they have a job lined up or their place of work is in front of the television until further notice.

Sure, there are a few overachieving seniors still adamantly working on their honors theses or senior projects, but work is for chumps. Senioritis is all around us. Just count the number of seniors in your 300-person lecture.
