AI Thread Summary
Seniors express frustration over the slow approach of graduation, particularly with a looming date of May 31. The anticipation for grad school intensifies feelings of "senioritis," leading to a mix of boredom and anxiety. Some suggest staying busy with projects or volunteering as a way to cope with the waiting period. Personal anecdotes highlight how distractions, whether through games or personal endeavors, can help manage the stress of impending graduation. The conversation also touches on the importance of using this time effectively, with suggestions for tutoring and engaging in meaningful activities to alleviate the sense of time dragging on.

Oh, that senioritis. I though you were talking about ... now what was it I was going to say?

Hy's right, G01. Don't wish your life away. The "Golden Years" will be upon you all-too-soon, and when they show up, you'll wonder who thought up that crap phrase.

Like other things, I think you'll find that it's not how big it is, but how you use it.
 


I kept busy with projects, and since I was going to grad school in the same department, I didn't think about it.


Actually, I got married the week after I graduated with baccalaureate, so that's where my mind was. Then following that, we moved my wife to where I was living, and we both started working and going to grad school.
 


I'm probably going to go to grad school in a much bigger city than where I currently live. So, I am really excited about that. I think that is what's making the senioritis worse.

I thought your brain was fried. :biggrin:
 


Deep-fried.

"You want brains with that?"
"Do you want to super-size that?"

How about volunteering more tutoring time for Tau Beta Pi? With an alien size brain (and from other posts), I know you qualify. There are plenty of students who will need some help as the end of the school term gets closer. Spend some of that extra time and energy helping out some other students. Or doing other volunteer work for that matter.

That's what did with my senioritis in undergrad... o:)

Starting one projects looks like the coolest idea. I have like 4 personal projects (2 in progress .. and 2 in planning). It's easier if you are in engineering.

I'm a sophomore in high school and I have always had senioritis. Or maybe I'm just a slacker...
