Coping With Senioritis Jeff Pollard | Life Section Manager 
Brush away the cobwebs and think back to your senior year of high school.
It wasn't that long ago, yet for many seniors, it feels like a lifetime
ago. You were on top of the world, being the most highly ranked students
in the school. While you may have just been a big fish in a little pond,
you savored each moment of that year. You also anxiously waited for
graduation day to arrive, counting every last day until that fateful day
when your name was called. As graduation drew closer, your anticipation
grew more and more with each passing day. In this respect, college is no
different from high school. Senioritis is a bitch.
Some students complain that the hardest thing about college is the classes while others point the finger at the rigorous schedule of waking at noon and staying up until 3:00 a.m. By far, the hardest thing about college life is senioritis. So, what can you do to survive one of the most crippling diseases on campus? There are three ideas you should keep in mind as the year (and your college career) come to a close: concentration, ambition and celebration. The first, concentration, is an absolute necessity if you plan on getting out of here in at least five years. You must maintain your concentration on the REAL reason for your being at Radford University: to learn. Some students would definitely disagree, but believe it or not, you weren't sent here by your parents to get totally wasted from Tuesday until Saturday every week. The second idea you should keep in mind when trying to survive senioritis is ambition. You must keep yourself motivated. If you plan on skipping all of your classes from March until May, don't plan on graduating anytime soon. Finally, celebration. Remember, you will only be this young once in your life. If you waste it away now, you will most likely regret it later. Go out and enjoy yourself. Have a beer and relax with friends. Remember, all work and no play makes a boring person. Keep these things in mind as we close out another year at Radford University. My mother once told me "not to lose sight of the goal." She's right. Above all, have fun and enjoy your senior year of college. Hopefully, you'll only do it once. Responses: Refresh frame to view latest entries. Name: Mama Comments:
