Ever since you were a freshman, you’ve heard rumors about it: the constant exhaustion, the inevitable procrastination, the desire to rebel against everyone and everything around you
the list goes on. Now that you’re a senior yourself, you can’t help but notice that you’re starting to show some of the symptoms.

With second semester on the horizon, it’s more likely than not that you’ve come down with a case of senioritis. However, if you’re still not sure about it (or just too afraid to admit it) ask yourself if you’re experiencing any of these obvious signs.

1. Sweatpants have become your go-to.

It may only be first semester, but you’ve already mastered the art of the comfy-casual look.

2. Coffee is your new water.

And you wonder how you made it so many years without this stuff.

3. You haven’t worn makeup since homecoming.

You just don’t have that kind of time or energy in the morning like you did freshman year.

4. You take all homework assignments as “suggestions.”

Your teacher can’t honestly think you were going to fill out this study guide, right?

5. You can’t wake up without hitting snooze at least five times.

It happens almost subconsciously.

6. Your first period teacher rarely sees your face.

Actually, you’re not sure if she even knows your name


7. You haven’t done a reading assignment since the first week of school.

You’re just hoping to fake it ‘til you make it.

8. You’re seriously okay with a C.

You’ve already been accepted to your dream school, so you’re just doing your best not to fail.

9. Your tolerance level for drama is at an all-time low. 

Because honestly, ain’t nobody got time for that. 

10. You can’t remember the last time you went a week without having an existential crisis. 

Because even though it’s less than a year away, you have no idea what you want to do with the rest of your life.

11. Everyone keeps telling you that you have a big ego.

But who can blame you? You’ve been waiting four years for this.

Unfortunately, there is no real cure for the dreaded senioritis until graduation. Let the countdown begin, pre-collegiettes!
