Essay On Senioritis

Seniors have a tendency of taking their last year of high school for granted. They do not realize that the relaxed classes and fun filled weekends with their best friends will all soon come to a devastating end. They have applied for college, bought miniature refrigerators, and sent in their housing applications, but none of them have really thought about college in the way that they should. When asked about college most high school seniors image the huge parties, attractive people, and freedom; however, college is much more than that and, in a way, much less. College and high school are completely different when it comes to a student’s actual lifestyle, but they have many of the same traits that most high school seniors do not see coming.

When junior year ended last summer, I felt like I knew exactly what was coming my way-- after all, I watched three different groups of my friends go through senior years of their own. It was finally my turn to experience senior year, something it seemed I had known about for years, and I felt like senior year would be easygoing and uneventful. Now, it has taken just a few short months to realize how incorrect I was. If senior year has taught me anything, it is that one never really knows what comes next for them, even if they have a good idea. The monumental highs, as well as the deepest of lows, have kept me on my toes throughout my senior year.

Senioritis is hard for some people and for some people is easy. Many people find because they are worried about going to college and they have some other problems in their life. Many for us starts worrying about like summer vacation, like oh I am going to be senior this year what am going to do and all this. Many people are worried because they think that way, I am not going to be here next here and what am going to do after high. Has an example If you finished middle school than you still know that you are going to some different school, but like after high school your life is start to being in a different way. You have to worried about you careers and yourself. Some student they don’t know how to deal with in senior year and after graduation it’s pretty hard for them.

In ‘Abolish high school’ by Rebecca solnit, she writes “High school is often considered a definitive American experience, in two senses: an experience that nearly everyone shares, and one that can define who you are, for better or worse, for the rest of your life.” which means high school isn’t wonderful for many people, it has a lot of challenges for teens, maybe some of them ‘kill’ by pressure and challenges, it would affect their rest of life. The high school is not a wonderful place for everyone. People should skip it and escaped it that you would don’t be suffered by it. However I disagree with her, because I believe high school is a indispensable place for students. It is a place for students, they can find a great relationship and an unexceptionable place to learn. On the other hand, I believe the high school is the key to definitive teens who they are in an great way. For example, Teachers would shape everyone’s identity, make you strong to face challenges, and open child’s heart. For example, in my childhood, when I lived with my parents, I was happy to learn, because my parents always encourage me to learn. Also, they want me learn from mistake, because It is a way to learn. They want me to be someone. However my parents left me at 12 age, they have to work more hard to support this home. I can’t focus on learning, I was playing video games every day, because I think I was ‘release’ from my parents. I have no ideas about my future. There is no one like my parents to guide me , I feel alone and confuses. Until I was be a part of high school.The high school make me stronger and hopeful. Teachers guide me walk on the right way again, they talk to me about future and how wonderful thing would happen in high school. I

Christmas break is over and the Spring Semester has begun. The seniors are acting a little sluggish and are starting to avoid their work. A phantom disease, something that has never been diagnosed among anyone, is now taking over the senior class. Senioritis has now kicked into effect. Teachers know that this epidemic is going to run through the halls every year starting around this time and that it is inevitable. This ‘disease’ has been invading schools for many years. Every year students get this so called disease and often ruin their last year of highschool or college. Students can see many effects to know they have senioritis, can do many things to avoid it, and only one thing to get rid of it.

High school students see adulthood as an entirely new world that they must navigate, and unfortunately, many high school students are just not ready for it. Instead of throwing high schoolers into the jungle of adulthood without warning them of the many responsibilities that they must bear, why not give them, at the least, a taste of what they need to know before they

Being a senior I had already expected that life won’t go that easy. Throughout my Junior year I was being prepared through my AVID class and from all the different articles, and activities we did in class. Kind of reality hasn’t hit me yet, I was making a huge list that marks all I wanted to accomplish in my senior year. But there is this thing called ‘stress’ that is invented and it began to slowly eating my brain away. Just a little stressed what I tell everyone who ask how am I doing. Stress is something we all need to be prepared for in our early stages in life but we can’t help it due to many trials and tribulations that come in our everyday life. For high school seniors like me some of them already developed this disease called, ‘senioritis’ if you haven’t known yet it's a disease that affects your mind, and body from being able to function properly due to the amount loads of work that you have to do. Well if you have good time

Urban Dictionary states that Senioritis is “a crippling disease that strikes high school seniors. Symptoms include: laziness, an over-excessive wearing of sweatpants, athletic shorts, and sweatshirts. Also features a lack of studying, repeated absences, and a generally dismissive attitude. The only known cure is a phenomenon known as Graduation.”

The human organism is a collective structural and functional integrated system. It consists of many components; chemicals, cells, tissues, organs and systems. Atoms being the smallest unit of matter comprise the cell. Cells are the basic structural and functional units that build the body.

Senior year is where students face many real life, difficult decisions, staying up and being out late, becoming extremely tired and much less motivated than the average student. Unmotivated and tired seniors are given their very own term: senioritis. In a high school survey in North Carolina, 78% of the school's seniors say they believe they have senioritis and struggle with focusing and staying motivated (Omniscient). Senioritis is a growing mental illness that high school seniors face. More and more high schools are recognizing that students are not doing as well as they

Suddenly Senioritis hits students like a freight train. Why would a student who planned on being a English major or a lawyer even want to think about taking a calculus class? Is there a reason for a future college professor to be taking classes on animal sciences? Seniors begin to get a sense of frustration that they were led to believe that those classes were needed. This realization will cause seniors to skip classes they don’t like. We start to count down the days until graduation, like how middle school kids would count down the seconds before the final bell would ring in the last class of the day. The clocks seem to be slowed down, as time drags on for the seniors who just want to move on with their lives. High school classes just don’t seem to hold seniors’ interests after senioritis

The beginning of high school is the start to the next four years of hell. No one wants to be there. Everyone says, “these will be the best four years of your life!” Along with, “it goes by so fast,” and, “in the blink of an eye,” but the truth is, I don’t see it. Every waking moment I have to sit through a lecture in a cold, solid, chair is like sitting silently next to your parent in a car as they scold you for what you’ve done. You can’t go anywhere, or say anything. You just have to embrace it.

Imagine a 12th grade student sitting in class looking miserable, tired, and annoyed. Looking around, one notices her mood seems to spread and show up in other students. One by one each person in the class changes. They snap at each other, turn work in late, put in half effort, and don’t pay attention. Teachers notice it, parents notice it, and even the students notice it. The cause of this lack of interest is simple, senioritis. While senioritis isn’t considered a serious sickness it has only one cure, graduation. Senioritis is a sickness that most seniors experience at least once in their lifetime where a student is done with school and have mentally checked out before the year has come to an end. A person stops putting in effort and stops caring because they are simply tired of the whole idea of school.

Senioritis is a serious affliction. However, before you mentally check out there are a few things you need to get done: file your FASFA, apply for scholarships, and apply for colleges. Everything pertaining to college needs to be done early, even once you get into college. My personal model is if you aren't ahead of the game, you're two steps behind.

The murmurs and distant cackling echo throughout the dining room, along with clinks of water glasses and silverware as it taps the plates. There are old ladies dining together wearing big sweaters and drinking coffee in white ceramic cups to keep warm in the 80 degree weather. Thick, dark brown lines are drawn above their eyes to make up for the absence of eyebrows. The smells of hairspray fuming the air from the perms they just came from are almost suffocating. Of course, their retired fannies have nothing to worry about which makes things a little dull day after day. So to fix this, they return back to a time where they were most vibrant and worry free, that’s right, high school. It may not be intentional or realized by the residents themselves. You may be saying to yourself, “It’s not possible for a sixty five year old to be anything like a teenager in high school.” Don’t overthink it because it’s practicable.
