Senioritis (noun): \u201ca supposed affliction of students in their final year of high school or college, characterized by a decline in motivation or performance.\u201d (Oxford Languages)<\/span><\/p>\n Symptoms of senioritis include the following: a drop in grades, procrastination, not completing assignments, and a loss of interest in studies.<\/span><\/p>\n Yes, this is definitely my diagnosis. My fellow Maroons, the senioritis is real.<\/span><\/p>\n While I might not suffer from all of the symptoms listed above, I am definitely experiencing a few of them, like procrastination and a loss of interest in some of my classes. Even though I manage to get all of my assignments done, I do see a difference in my efforts in comparison to my earlier years of college. I\u2019m just not meeting or surpassing my full potential anymore.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The end of fall semester is sneaking up and so are all of the deadlines to meet before final exams. While I can\u2019t wait to complete yet another semester, I lack the motivation to get there. It\u2019s becoming harder and harder to work through assignments and put my best performance forward.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Considering that I only have one more semester after this one, I really need to find the cure for this so-called diagnosis. How does one fight senioritis? Is senioritis real or is it just an excuse to be lazy? Either way, I need to figure it out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019ve gotten this far, and there\u2019s no stopping me now. Senioritis, I\u2019m coming for the cure, so you better watch out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" by Marisa Seager Senioritis (noun): \u201ca supposed affliction of students in their final year of high school or college, characterized by a decline in motivation or performance.\u201d (Oxford Languages) Symptoms of senioritis include the following: a drop in grades, procrastination, not completing assignments, and a loss of interest in studies.
