Senioritis

What exactly causes senioritis? Most seniors start feeling the effects of senioritis around this time of year. Some of us tend to accumulate absences, tardies, and lower grades. By this point in the year, most high school seniors have been accepted to a college. Because of this, a lot of seniors do not feel the need to continue working to keep their spot at their college. What some seniors fail to realize is that colleges can decline their acceptance. Another cause of senioritis is stress. The majority of us are all stressed by this point in the year, and are tired of the habitual schedule of getting up early, going to school, and coming home to do homework. Now that we no longer have to use our knowledge for tests, such as the SAT, some seniors feel that they no longer need to continue learning. Senior only festivities also cause senioritis. Prom, senior breakfasts, meetings, and picnics are all at the end of the year. Most of us seniors would rather have fun with these senior only events rather than sit in a desk for an hour and some odd amount of minutes. We are all looking forward to graduating so that we can move on to bigger and better and leave the immaturity behind.
