By Anthony Fuentes Senioritis is a “condition” that is an affliction for many students in their final year of high school. It is characterized by a decline in motivation or performance. If a student’s wardrobe turns to sweats, skipping class is their new routine, and homework is no longer being done then they might have a case of senioritis. The reason as to why senioritis matters so much is because it can hurt the students’ academic record and potentially affect their future. Chemistry teacher Mr. Neal says, “I had senioritis really bad when I went here, everyone gets senioritis.” Senioritis is not something that was recently discovered; it’s been around for quite some time. Some solutions to this “condition” are to enjoy their senior experience but responsibly, possibly by committing to an internship or career focused job and maintain a rigorous course schedule. Teaching assistant Ms. Washington says, “Students deal with Senioritis their own way and usually get themselves back on track before it’s too late.” Senior Tailor Davis states, “It’s real.” Senior Jaden Brown agrees and says, “I’m stressed.” If you’re feeling overwhelmed or stressed by your senior year, talk to your guidance counselor, social worker, or trusted teacher. You’re in the home stretch and don’t want to lose it all now.

Love this article, Anthony! I'm sure lots of kids can relate to it. I like that it was funny but also had a positive message.
