Merriam-Webster defines senioritis as “an ebbing of motivation and effort by [high] school seniors as evidenced by tardiness, absences, and lower grades.” This phenomenon usually presents itself most prominently beginning in a senior’s second semester. As school begins again, some seniors give advice on ways they will keep motivated this semester and avoid the dreaded “senioritis”.
