Senioritis is an imaginary syndrome attributed to students nearing the end of high school and college in the United States. Its symptoms include laziness, procrastination, and apathy toward schoolwork.
While senioritis is most certainly not a real disease, its effects are well known to most experienced educators. This imagined affliction is a symptom of students' complacency once they have all but guaranteed their place at commencement. After college admission letters arrive in early spring, high school seniors feel even less pressure to push themselves academically. However, in an effort to combat senioritis, many colleges require that an updated transcript be sent from the high school after the end of the school year, and will revoke admission if a student's grades drop dramatically.
