Senioritis Paper

Apple Valley, Minnesota.

Hundreds of high school seniors this year are slacking more than ever before. Eastview high school has a very high number of students that are slacking and being absent more than usual. There are also an outstanding number of students that had to switch to an alternative school to graduate. Senioritis has taken over Eastview high schools’ seniors.

Senioritis is a horrible disease that has stricken many high schools. Senioritis for some people has taken over their whole life and has potentially ruined it. Some people have fallen in the trap of senioritis and could not get out. Because of this, seniors are not graduating.

No motivation to be in school makes it really hard for seniors to get up in the morning and go to school. Tk, an Eastview student stated that one of his least favorite things about high school is getting up in the morning. Many students find it hard to get up in the morning because they feel like they’re already graduated, stated Tk. Everyone’s procrastinating and putting things off till the last minute, another Eastview student, Paige quoted. One of Paige’s least favorite things about high school is all the papers she has to do because of her three English classes. This causes a lot of stress and tiredness. Other students just can’t wait to walk out of Eastview and move on to another school and another part of their life.  Everyone is just so excited for college and their next chapter.

Tons of students have been more absent than normal. Students are just skipping to sleep so they can rest up for the next day. I don’t know what it is about senior year but its just so stressful and makes you want to curl up in a ball and sleep all day. A few people I know have missed so much school that they had to transfer to DCALS to graduate because they had too many absences. This is not good for our future. Our generation is getting lazier and lazier. How is our generation ever going to learn to get up in the morning for our future jobs?

You know the saying that your parents tell you when you’re just starting your freshman year? “High school goes by fast so live it up!” Well it’s definitely true. You don’t think your parents are telling you the truth… you feel like your parents are just telling you that. High school totally goes by so fast, but when you’re about to graduate you couldn’t be any happier.
