Senioritis is a colloquial term used in the United States and Canada to describe the decreased motivation toward studies displayed by students who are nearing the end of their high school careers. By definition, Senioritis is not due to the direct physiological effects of a general medical condition such as hypothyroidism or insomnia but is typically said to include: slowness, procrastination, apathy regarding school work, a feeling of entitlement or privilege and a tendency toward truancy, increased drug use, malingering or feigning illness in order to avoid presence in a school setting, cognitive impairments, and changes in sleep patterns. Many high school students find themselves in a type of lame duck situation: their plans are made and a new chapter in their life is about to begin, so finishing the current chapter (the current term separating them from graduation) becomes just a formality or "holding pattern." Even though high school seniors tend to be the bulk of the victims, high school juniors and sophomores are also known to have it.
Senioritis usually results in a withdrawal from school-related extracurricular activities and school spirit events and a reduced concern for social acceptance, instead focusing on graduation (and the end of compulsory school) in June and/or acceptance to college in September. It can also manifest as increased social and extra-curricular activity, which comes at the expense of academic duties, with the student preferring to "have fun" rather than work academically.

Jenny contracted Senioritis and began to smoke pot and skip classes. She failed all of her courses because of her lack of motivation.

Get the senior citizen deathmatch mug.A longboard company that sells decent longboard decks, although a lot of 11 year old newbie boarders think S9 is the best company hands down. They often go and get their parents buy a S9 complete and try to act cool even though they don't know anything about boards. These people give S9 riders a bad name often.
NOTE: To avoid this say the name of your board not "Sector 9" (See Example 1)
Also over the years S9 has started putting Chinese low-quality parts on their boards, Gullwing Chargers are no longer USA made and feel cheap now. The Decks are still good though!

Randy: "What board you riding?"
Andy: "A 9 Star -Paris trucks, and Retros"
Randy: "Niceee"
Tip: Don't get pre-made Sector 9 boards select your own parts, and get the reviews first. Have a boarding specialty in mind like Cruising.

Get the Sector 9 mug.A large high school located in the city of Osseo, Minnesota. Osseo Senior High claims itself to be a "simulation of the real world" with its diverse student population, but it's nothing more than a disaster waiting to happen.
The school is filled with ghetto ass black kids who get into fights over muffins and orange juice in math classrooms before first period, and wannabe black kids getting into fights over carrots at lunch, causing the whole school to attend a stupid assemly. 40% of the girls that do not fall into the above categories are whores and will go nowhere. The rest of the school is composed of hicks, cracked out townies, a few rich kids from Plymouth, emo kids, and there are a few nice and intellegent students, but you will need to venture into the AP and HP classes to find these rare but charming oddities.
The new motto of Osseo Senior High is "We teach Students to Learn," and it's definitely true because the teachers do absolutely no teaching and that responsibility is completely up to the students. Some of the teachers in the school are complete morons.
For Example:
Mrs Roskens: Okay class, go back into the lab and meayyyzure the change in mass
Andy: Mrs. Roskens, what unit do you want us to use?
Mrs. Roskens: Yes.
Andy: God dammit
Osseo Senior High is a big school, and the administrators decided that it'd be funny to chop a minute off between classes and eiminate the warning bell. During the final minute of passing time, the administrators are all lined up around the school with their stopwatches yelling "hustle! hustle!" as kids sprint for their dear lives. You'd think you were at a freakin track meet. These days, if a student is ever late to class, they get completely tormented with green community service notification slips until they stay after school and scrape gum off of desks for a few hours. Half the time the slips come for no reason, and the kids serve the community service anyways bcause they don't want to argue with the faculty.
For example:
Samantha: Mrs. Zubich, I got a community service slip that said I was late to your class yesterday, but I really wasn't...
Mrs. Zubich: Yes you were. Go sit down.
Samantha: No i wasn't!!! Even ask Jarod and Chris!!!
Mrs. Zubich: OK Class, let's get started
Samantha: Damnitt! I'm not gonna argue with these people. I'll just serve it. This is sooooo lame and unfair.
At Osseo Senior High there are many fights. On April 23rd 2009, there was a violent brawl during "A" lunch that resulted in innocent people getting suspended, and a massive increase in administrator action for te rest of the year. I felt like I was in Detroit. If there's ever talk of a food fight or the like, the cafeteria becomes flooded with adults standing eagerly with their walkie-talkies.
School Spirit has gone way downhill, and even though the class of 2010 shows potential of restoring it, it's doubtful that they will succeed.
The school is basically run by this huge Black dude who jumps fences and scares the hell out of everyone.
So basically, Osseo Senior High is horrible and you should avoid at all costs. Go to PCSH or MGSH any day.

I had a great example, and now I've forgot it. Must be having a senior moment.
"The Bears are back at Soldier Filed. They used to play their home gamens in...oh heck, I've forgotten the name of the town. I must be having a senior moment.
