The potentially life threatening disease that most commonly affects graduating high school seniors. It affects 99.9% of the population of high school seniors. It is most common in the second half of the year, especially after receiving college acceptances, thus provoking the common predicament among all seniors: “what am I even still doing here??”
Common symptoms:
- overall lack of motivation towards anything & everything.
- Wearing sweatpants at least 3x a week. (Bonus points if it’s the same pair of pants)
- Going to bed at 2am. Not because of homework, but because of Netflix ... because...duh.
- Unable to function without coffee.
- Arriving late.
- Substituting regular school clothes for pajamas .
- “huh???”
- Copying the math homework from Slader 5 min before it is due.
- Excessive use of the term “No.” in response to any task given.
- Not constantly checking your grades for the ~first time ever~ in all of high school. (You probably forgot that online grades even existed, until your mom called you frantically asking why your Econ grade dropped from A to C in one month.)
- Scouring the house for your textbooks on textbook return day, because you misplaced them at the beginning of the school year and haven't touched them since.
Cure:
- Graduate. Have fun feeling the same way in 4 years when you are about to graduate college!!
