The "-itis"

I am ill with a serious case of Senioritis. Everyone, guy or girl, experiences this laziness and procrastination phase to the N-th power in their very last semester of college.

Since I have slaved away for the past 4-5 years, I entered this semester thinking it was going to be a breeze for me. I expected to be relaxed throughout the term and not having to exude much effort or concentration. Boy was I wrong!!! I'm still as busy as ever and even more stressed out than in previous semesters.

When I started to realize that my last classes in undergrad schooling were not going to be a piece of pie, I had to make a choice. I asked myself, "am I going to succumb to my disease or am I going to do well this semester even though it's my last?" I wish I could say that I'd rather relax and just do the minimum. Something inside of me, though, would not allow it. It's actually kind of annoying.

If you think that your last term will be a vacation, you are in for a real surprise my friend. Your school, as mine, will be sure to make even your last months with them as miserable as possible. I guess when we pay our tuition, that's the service we receive from them => making sure we are stressed out and busy to the bones.
