I can ' t cope with that Why didn t you do that before, instead of leaving it till the last minute? my mother demanded. In the meantime, I was busily cramming books, folders, a ruler and everything but the kitchen sink into my tattered backpack. But I have senioritis, I managed to gasp out while dashing down the stairs, late for school as usual . . . Senioritis. Senioritis, noun. 1. An acute infectious psychotic disorder, characterized by apathy, exhaustion, depression, the in- ability to attend class, and later, hysteria. 2. Having or displaying the symptoms of senioritis. (See mental illness) I can ' t figure it out. Last quarter I was doing great. As soon as I ' d get home from school, I ' d finish my homework, clean my room, go to work, and be in bed no later than 9:00. But now ... I can ' t seem to get anything done. What ' s wrong with me? I wonder — no — it couldn ' t be — oh, I don ' t believe this — I think, I think I ' ve got senioritis! It all fit. Those long hours I ' d wasted sitting with glazed eyes, in front of the television, taking an MTV break at 3 am , , . could only be this dreaded disease. Although it strikes only during the third and fourth quarters in high school, its short duration is quite lethal. Senioritis affects approximately 83% of all seniors at San Gorgonio, reports say. The students suffering from this illness are easily identified. Probably most noticeable is his or her lack of energy. Bad posture, dull expression, and intense moodiness are involved. The senior is commonly observed wearing bizarre, unmatching clothes, because he doesn ' t care what others think Symptoms disappear periodically, such as when the bell for lunch rings. Ditching class is the most common ailment of the student who has con- tracted senioritis When rain the night before whispers snow in the suf- ferer ' s head all night long, he possibly has the disease. Taking off to go ski ing the next morning satisfies this craving momentarily. When the weather becomes warmer, and visions of warm, white sand, cool blue-green waves, suntan oil, and beach towels invade the senior ' s mind, he controls those urges by tearing off to the beach. He may experience some embarrassment when he tries to pass off a sunburn as scarlet fever. The final weeks of senioritis are the worst, while the sufferer experiences withdrawal symptoms from the disease. Sadness, or the tendency to burst into tears from frustration, are common occurrences, according to Mr. Emery, teacher of English 4AP. Full-fledged hysteria is inevitable when the student with the illness finally realizes he may fail. Suicidal tendencies are high, with the senior moaning, I can ' t handle it anymore — I just can ' t cope. Spring break marks the end of the senioritis duration and allows for recup eration. Though he may believe he will never be the same, the senior ally recovers and survives.
