When my sister was a senior in high school, she would always say, "Ugh, I have senioritis!" And my response would be, "That's never going to happen to me! I'm going to be so responsible!"
Okay, so that's not quite what happened. I think I got senioritis during the second semester of my junior year.
I don't know exactly how it happens. I sit down if front of my books, absolutely determined to be productive. Thirty minutes later, I'm doing one of three things: staring at my phone, playing games on my phone, or going on Facebook/Twitter (again, on my phone). Maybe I should lock my phone away and I would get more things done... I guess that's a different blog post.
Another thing I end up doing is going on YouTube looking for funny and entertaining videos. Don't judge me, you do it too! And then I thought, I might as well find something cool for a blog post for AP English (because that's just how my mind works and AP English is the first thing I think of when I'm on YouTube)! Anyway, I found a video on senioritis that I think was made by high school students somewhere else. Click the link below to watch it:

Believe it or not, this video and blog post does have to do with our satire unit. The students are making fun of senioritis, which isn't even a real word and doesn't have a medical diagnosis. They use hyperbole and exaggeration to show the extreme effects of senioritis. In real life, people make a huge deal out of senioritis.
Well, even though I have diagnosed myself with senioritis, I have managed to get something educational done. I'm going to end this post now because the spell check is freaking every time I type the word "senioritis." Hope you enjoyed the video!
