junioritis 

A condition that mainly affects high school juniors who have many senior friends, or have prematurely and possibly overprepared for life after highschool.
Sufferers fall into a subconcious notion that they, in fact, are in their final year of high school, and will soon be free from the trappings of compulsory education.

Condition can be either cured when current seniors graduate, or worsened as the junior realizes that they still have a year left and the true seniors are gone.

Junioritis is almost always a precursor to the highest degree of senioritis.
K's junioritis is so bad, they keep talking about college plans and "getting out of here"-do they realize they have a year to go?

Junioritis 

Junioritis is a pre-mature case of senioritis. It makes the infected junior tired and burned out and all the junior wants is graduation. However, the junior will push through and will have a severe and potentially lethal case of senioritis.
