The Idea of Senioritis
In the last couple of days, many people have been talking about being a second semester senior and the work ethic that comes along with it. The funny thing is that I've heard this from all different types of students, from your average student to a student that takes all AP classes. Why is Senioritis a thing all across the country? Throughout our educational career, we've all been competing to hopefully get into a good University and as some students have already gotten in and a number of us haven't. So why give up know? I believe there is a psychological standpoint to this and as one student begins to emphasize this idea of Senioritis, it acts as a domino effect. I believe it can also be looked at as a tradition overtime. It has seemed as my parents have also talked about their last semester of high school and the fun that came along with it. I'm just curious in the idea of Senioritis and it's effect on students around the nation.

It's all a mindset. If you want to stay motivated you will stay motivated. People who choose to use senioritis as a rationale for not doing work don't really need an excuse. Don't blame it on some fictitious mental fatigue that doesn't really exist. Do your work, don't do your work. It's up to you. Just own your decisions.
ReplyDeleteI believe people are into this idea of senioritis because lets face it, your last semester of high school, you either want it to be over with already, or you want it to be filled with fun. People can get to carried away with the idea that its almost over so might as well do what you want to do, but like you said, why give up now? Why not try your hardest? It is your last semester of being in high school.
