<p>Fact, or fiction?

<p>I have sophomoritis, so I would say that junioritis definitely exists.</p>
<p>I’ve had Kindergardenitis.</p>
<p>Junioritis is nothing compared to senioritis</p>
<p>Fact. I have it. It’s a real disease. With doctors and medicine and everything.</p>
<p>Even if they’re not as bad as senioritis, I would say that sophomoritis and junioritis definitely exist.</p>
<p>lol buzz kill alert</p>
<p>I’M on A BOAT!!!</p>
<p>in the midst of the 18405838 tests juniors have to take…along with, ya know, life, school, etc., etc…definitely fact.</p>
<p>Stevenwheatland- it’s a joke. From a movie</p>
<p>lol steve. don’t u yet know CC sarcasm…?</p>
<p>The only itis is senioritis. I remember being a junior and thinking I was ready to blow this joint. But that was NOTHING compared to second term senior. Junioritis is akin to waiting for your mom to come pick you up when she’s late and maybe its a little cold outside, senioritis feels as if you were stuck at a damn Miley Cyrus concert for 6 hours every day. That’s the difference in magnitude. You havent felt sickness yet</p>
<p>Wait until senior year, it’s virtually unbearable. </p>
<p>I thought that high school was becoming monotonous in 11th grade, but second semester right now is beyond torture. </p>
<p>I mean, I understand that learning is still important, but really, my grades don’t count at all…</p>
<p>Agree with the junioritis doesn’t really compare crowd. I remember coming to the sudden realization last year that I don’t really want to be here anymore, and that was junioritis. But this year… I’ve stopped doing my homework. I miss 4 times more school for no reason than I have any other semester so far. When I actually do my homework, I procrastinate until 2:00 in the morning (at the earliest) or during class the day it’s due. I sleep during most of my classes (one day I slept straight through every single class and then took a nap after school by the lockers) when I’m not getting yelled at (or, rather, scolded gently) for talking. I was never like this before, but I HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE.</p>
<p>It’s getting kind of ridiculous, actually. I’m a bit worried about APs… I suppose I’ll have to teach myself this stuff. But really, that takes about 10,000,000 times less time than sitting in class, listening to unnecessarily long-winded lectures.</p>
<p>I mean, I think I have it, I really struggle with trying to keep working and keep doing all my schoolwork. But then I think ahead to next year when I’m already into college and I have no idea how I’m going to survive.</p>
<p>Yeah. Senioritis is a feeling that you can’t shake especially when you start getting decisions; they make leaving seem so close yet so far away simultaneously.</p>
<p>fiction</p>
<p>you’re just lazy</p>
<p>Junioritis, for other people, not me, was like PTSD. Your traumatized and exhausted by the sheer work of your year, you’ve been through hell and learned more than you would ever want to learn. </p>
<p>Senioritis is just emptiness, the type that Beckett wrote about in Waiting for Godot. When you are not even sure if you exist anymore, if relationships have any meaning. When time freezes and you’re stuck in front of the same tree every single day.</p>
<p>I take back saying that Junioritis isn’t bad. It’s bad. It is just completely different, a totally different essence than senioritis.</p>
<p>“you’re just lazy”</p>
<p>I’m not a lazy person. If I was a lazy person, I would have been like this throughout high school. But instead, I worked my a** off for three and a half years for straight As, strong standardized test scores, golds in competition, a managing editor position on the newspaper, invitations into a bunch of pointless honor societies and a spot in the college of my choice. Now, though, I won’t argue that I’m acting lazy, and I don’t feel bad about it. I’ve got one week to go before I hear back from the last three schools I’ve applied to (already got into the first five), and I’m more than ready to leave this school, leave this city, leave this state and go somewhere where learning isn’t based on numbers, but on straight up curiosity. And it’s not just because my GPA doesn’t matter anymore. </p>
<p>It’s because I’m done with high school. I’m not getting anything out of it anymore. I’m stuck and I’m bored and I’m tired and I want to start the next phase of my life, already. It’s because this is pointless now. I can teach myself faster than my teachers can teach me - I mean no disrespect to them, but I want to interact. I want to debate and discuss, but that’s usually not an option, so instead I sleep in class and then go home and skim the text book for a bit, do a practice problem or two before the test, and I’m caught up. And instead of continuing to work hard for nothing in return (I’m not referring to a college acceptance, but to actual intellectual benefits), I’ll just wait it out, teaching myself what I need to know and bypassing unnecessary and long-winded lectures designed for people who need to by dragged along by the hand, and eventually I’ll be free.</p>
<p>And that’s senioritis.</p>
<p>As for junioritis: I amend my previously stated opinion. Well, not really. I still think it doesn’t compare to senioritis, but now I think it doesn’t compare because they’re totally different feelings… Senioritis isn’t stronger, it’s just different. Nick017’s description seems pretty accurate, although I do remember the feeling of being ready to get out of high school as being a bigger part of it.</p>
<p>I’ve had wombitis for a long ass time now</p>
