Imminent Graduation Apathy (IGA)

The feeling that a person gets when they are very close to graduating from their undergraduate/ graduate/ doctoral /advanced field of study degrees.

It is characterized by having no motivation to complete your assignments or study for your labs/exams, or invest any effort at all whatsoever in the remainder of your course work simply due to the fact that you are SO CLOSE to being done.
N: "Oh man, I'm so close to being done my undergraduate degree! I have only two assignments left, but I don't want to do them. Why God Why?!"
D: "You, my friend, have Imminent Graduation Apathy (IGA)"
N: "What's IGA?"
D: Imminent Graduation Apathy. You lack any motivation to invest any effort in the remainder of your course work, given that you are so close to being done.
N: You're right, I do have IGA. Why do I have to get it now, right when I'm so close to being done undergraduate?
D: *Sigh* Such is the way of IGA. It is a disease, like chickenpox. There is no escaping it. Everyone must get it at some point in their lives.

mass shooting apathy

The condition by which our horror over the reports of innocent lives taken, families destroyed, and not enough done to put an end to such gun based mass casualty violence, over time, leads to mere head nods of sadness given how commonplace they have become, and how in order for us to get through the day, we must block out what we felt over "Sandy Hook" or "Columbine," or "Parkland," multiplied by the number of times it has happened since.
It is sad how, while the one hand, I feel terrible over the most recent mass shooting, my mass shooting apathy has kicked as a survival mechanism, and made me feel less than I did when I first heard of the "Columbine" incident.

Amethyst

A purple or violet gemstone. Is a colored variety of quartz, caused by iron and aluminum content within the stone. It is the birthstone of February.
One of my favorite gemstones has always been the amethyst, but I think that it's pretty stupid that they make you pay so damn much for some colored quartz, which if clear would have been useless as a precious gem.
