'here is a disease that Iruns rampant through each year’s senior class. There’s no known cure. It’s highly contagious. The symptoms include extreme apathy and disinterest in ac­
ademics. It’s incredibly fun as long as you don’t start failing badly. Yes, my friends, senior- itis. A friend of mine who is now a freshman in college tried to tell me about her senior year, but didn’t get very far. She couldn’t remember doing anything related to school. I
didn’t understand at the time, but as soon as this year start­ ed, I figured it out. Every rea­ son for trying hard or jumping into extraschool activities just dries up when you are a senior. Grades that were good start
plummeting. The prevailing at­ titude becomes "Oh, I’ll live.’’ Some people hold off until
the second semester, or even the last month of school. Not me, pal. I caught this disease the second week of Septem­ ber. My excuse when ques­ tioned on my grades was " I ’m having fun.” Indeed some peo­ ple call senioritis a disease, but those of us who are "afflicted” know what it really iS: Insight into the true nature of life. Preparing for the future is fun, but if you get caught up in it, you’ll never have a chance to experience the present. I’m not afflicted with some bizarre vi­ rus, I’m just enjoying my pres­ ent and not worrying about the future.
Come on, girls! School can’t be that much fun. Ste­ phanie Adornato, Laura Murphy, and Katie Yeomans gear up for another day of stimulating education.
