Senioritis

Being a senior in college is so much different than being a senior in high school. There's a lot more temptation to skip class, not do assignments, and just zone out. The funny thing is that every senior here seems to experience the same kinds of things. Here's some of the ones that I've suffered (and that people have told me about) so far:

1. Memory loss. Seriously. You start forgetting where you put things, if you sent that email, and when the last time you washed your sheets was. You also can't remember what day of the week it is and what classes you have to go to. You also forget what you were saying 2 minutes before and sometimes don't finish your senten
   
2. You start planning all these really elaborate, amazing epic pranks. However, you never go through with any of them, because you're so stinking close to that diploma you've worked so hard for, and you can't risk losing it now. You also may begin to incite others to do these pranks for you, but they don't do them either (if they're smart).
3. You turn in your SIP, and you expect the sun to shine brighter, the birds to be cheerfully chirping, and everyone to be happy and excited. Instead, all you feel is a vague sense of loss, like your purpose for the past 2 semesters is suddenly gone, and you just want to sleep until graduation. (At some point, the birds and the sun and the happiness do appear...it just takes a little while for the realization that you're done to sink in.)
4. The only thinking that you really want to do involves contemplating what your grade in a given class would be if you didn't do that last assignment.
5. You will either be freakishly busy until the last day of classes, or have nothing to do. At all.
6. The only question anyone asks you is "So what are you doing after graduation?"
7. You want to kick the next person that asks you #6. Very hard. In the shins. And then run away.
   
8. Everyone suddenly realizes that they won't see you after the next few weeks, and so they all want to have coffee/do dinner/hang out/go see a movie/etc. Your social life basically explodes.
9. All that stuff that you held on to for 4 years, swearing that you would use? Yeah, it's in the Goodwill pile.
10. The only thing you can accurately remember is how many days, hours, and even minutes until graduation. :)

I think this pretty much sums it up. :) Now, if you'll excuse me, I have one more assignment to complete.
