“Senioritis” is a condition which is associated with many illustrious rumors. In reality, many of the rumors are simply not based in fact. Take for example, the claim that senior year is your easiest year. This is false. Although the workload is indeed simple enough for a fourth grader, senioritis victims have sudden realizations of priorities, and consistently choose to do things more important than schoolwork, such as rewatching entire seasons of Breaking Bad on Netflix from the minute they get home until 2 A.M.
Not everything you hear about senioritis is false, however. Everyone has heard someone say that “senior year flies by.” This is true. It feels like school started two weeks ago, yet we’ve already finished an eighth of the year. I can say with proud conviction that I am already lasting longer than I thought I would at the beginning of the year.
