PHS seniors not immune to annual disease

by Tommy Verdon

It’s about that time of year again when all of the seniors catch a special kind of sickness. According to UrbanDictionary.com, the side effects of this disease consist of extreme laziness, lack of studying, repeated absences, and a generally dismissive attitude. This rare disease that only seniors catch is called Senioritis.

Andrea Schaedler is the only one that would admit to having Senioritis. She thinks that by having only a few months left is what triggered this rare disease to attack her. “It’s because I only have a few months left of school,” explained Andrea. She is not that worried about herself, but everyone around her is, as she tries her hardest to keep herself under control. “It doesn’t really affect me as much as it affects the people that are around me,” said Andrea. Senoritis is very hard to keep under control because there is no way that people can absolutely keep it contained. “I don’t really think that I can fight through Senioritis,” said Andrea.

Santanna Terrill is one tough cookie to crack because she is trying very hard to stay strong through this long and tough period. “I act like everyone else; I don’t let it get to my head,” explained Santanna.

Jessica Ruder is also one of those hard working seniors that has yet to catch Senioritis. She believes that the key to being immune to Senioritis is by staying focused on her school work no matter how hard it can get. “Focusing on keeping my grades up and by turning in all of my homework will be the key,” explained Jessica.

If you or your friends are showing some signs of Senioritis then you may want to see the school’s guidance counselor or else you or your friends just might fall behind in school and you will have a very rough road ahead of you. Side effects may include broken hearts or lost friendships.
