Your Senior Year

Important Meeting Notes

Meeting #4

To Start… What is in my hand?!?

Drum Roll Please…

Curbing Senioritis “The main symptoms of senioritis include chronic procrastination, lack of motivation, a drop

in academic performance, and “coasting,” which is the act of going through classes with very little concentration or application of intent. This usually happens in the last year of high school, college, or graduate school. One of the most notable symptoms of senioritis, is that all attempts by educators to curb senioritis tend to actually increase senioritic symptoms. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms please make an appointment with “Dr. Jamie” as the best cure is a strong dose of reality. If not properly treated, failure to graduate may be the probable prognosis. Attack this before it is too late!”
