Senioritis
"Senioritis" is a colloquial term used to describe a decline in motivation and performance among high school or college seniors, particularly during their final year. Students experiencing senioritis may show signs of apathy, procrastination, and a lack of interest in academic responsibilities. This phenomenon often occurs as students anticipate graduation and the transition to the next phase of their lives.
The causes of senioritis can include stress, burnout, and the excitement of upcoming changes, such as entering the workforce or attending college. While it is not an official medical condition, educators and parents often recognize its impact on students' grades and overall well-being during this critical time.
