As summer is approaching, the upcoming school years dawns upon us. Thus, a new senior class rises to the top: the Class of 2020, but a warning must be issued NOW. A new disease is sweeping across the nation, taking seniors by storm. This contagious case is at a critical level of infection. They call it, SENIORITIS.

The exact cause of senioritis is not known but is to be believed to stem from anxiety and the urge to move onto the next phase of one’s life. Check your seniors for the following symptoms, as reported by WebMD, during the 2019-2020 school year, so they can receive treatment as soon as possible:

• Excessive hallway wandering
• Mild to moderate cases of staring out the window
• Swollen ego
• Homework fatigue
• Inflammation of the whining gland
• Acute mediocrity
• Short-term memory loss
• Excessive tardiness
• Classroom intolerance
• Existential malaise

If you or a loved one are experiencing these symptoms, boy are you in trouble. The only way to cure all symptoms is graduation itself and that is many months from now. While dwelling upon graduation, a student should practice walking in their cap and gown, take thousands of pictures in their cap and gown, begin a countdown to graduation, and remember to sleep often, maybe even during class…it eases the stress. But above all, enjoy your senior year, you only have so much time to make the last memories of high school. Best of luck Class of 2020, may your immune systems stay strong!
