Senioritis

Hepatitis.  Bad.
Bursitis.  Bad.
Gingivitis.  Bad.

All of these -itis things seem to be bad.  Why do I accept my senioritis so willingly?  According to the all-knowing Wikipedia, -itis is a suffix denoting diseases characterized by inflammation itself often caused by an infection.  That sounds icky.

But really, senioritis isn't an infection.  It's a natural progression of life.  After you've been in college for 5.5 years, you JUST DON'T CARE ANYMORE.  It's sooo hard to eke out those last few assignments, to limp through the final hoops one jump through to get to throw their cap at the end.

Having three different majors didn't speed the college experience along.  I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.  Heck, I don't know if I'll ever know.  But I'll get that piece of paper.  FINALLY. 

Well, that's assuming I pass all of my classes... Just kidding.  I will, but my gung-ho attitude from the beginning of the semester has been grated down to accepting the bare minimum.  C's get degrees, bro. 

Frankly, my GPA's already not exemplary.  What's getting a 4.0 the LAST SEMESTER going to do?  Nothing.  Maybe that's a crappy attitude but my apathy has reached dangerous heights.  To quote the wise Peter Gibbons from Office Space:

It's not that I'm lazy.  It's that I just don't care.
 But I'll keep truckin'.  Don't you worry.  After graduation, a whole new, thrilling chapter of life starts.  That's right.  Paying off student loans.  Exciting times, everyone. 

What are you dragging your feet about?  What are you lacking motivation to do?
