It’s that time of year again when all seniors at any high school are starting to suffer from a infectious disease called senioritis. What is senioritis you may ask? According to Oxford Dictionaries, senioritis is a supposed affliction of students in their final year of high school or college, characterized by a decline in motivation or performance. Although it does happen to college seniors, it affects high school seniors the most. It truly is an infectious disease that targets all high school seniors. Mainly, seniors get this contagious disease around the second semester of their final high school year, around that time they get college acceptance letters, decide which college to go to, and think about senior prom. Symptoms are lack of motivation and focus, refusal to do work, laziness, and skipping classes. They may not seem to be very dangerous symptoms when they start, but if they keep persisting, it will become a problem.
While senioritis is not a curable disease, it is treatable. There are many treatments for senioritis; one treatment is to make sure you set goals that will get you through the entire year. If you do this, this will make you focused and motivated to accomplish your goal. Another treatment option is to take challenging classes. Taking challenging classes will make you focused to do well in that class, and you will be one step closer to preparing yourself for college. Those challenging classes can even give college credits depending on how well you do. Talking to your guidance counselor’s is also treatment for senioritis as they will give the motivation you need to finish up senior year. However, the biggest treatment for senioritis is keeping your grades up for college. If you let your lack of focus and motivation get the best of you, your grades will slip. Colleges will notice and, as a result, they have the right to take away your acceptance letters or drop you from the school you had committed to. But if you take into consideration all the treatment options, you not only avoid senioritis, but can also beat it.
