Senioritis

I only briefly experienced senioritis in high school, and it wasn't too memorable. I just vaguely remember being distracted by parties, the theatre department, and college applications to care any more about school. And after all, after transcripts were sent out, as long as you passed your classes it didn't matter too much, right? Well, I never expected to experience senioritis again after the shock of freshman year at Longwood and realizing I would never again be able to sail through classes without working.

So now its senior year again. After four years, I finally figured out how to use my independence for good instead of evil and balance my time between schoolwork and other activities. I just found out Friday that I will be graduating this May, which makes me feel like a real senior for the first time this year.

And it took approximately 5 minutes for senioritis to set in.

I suppose I need to just grin and bear this last year as I finish my college career and head on to nursing school. After all, I'm here by choice (aside from the social and family pressures to get a college education) so I should enjoy the last semester and a half of my time in Farmville. Sit back, relax, and do the work that I already know how to do. This is what college is about, and now I'm leaving.
