So I’m sure you have all heard of the dreaded term “Senioritis.”  Basically, this is a condition that befalls most seniors when they enter their last year of school, either in high school, college, or even graduate school.  Apathy takes over as you realize that you are in the final stretches of your career at this school at this level, and you feel as though each piece of work is insignificant, either because you have a job lines up or because you are just ready to move on.

Well, I most certainly have come down with senioritis…and a bad case of it.  I am truly done with college and ready to move on, but I still have a month and a half.  I also feel like certain circumstances have come about that make me “done” even more with the college environment and these ideals that individuals have.  I remember coming into college thinking it was so different from high school and how perfect it was.  Well, it certainly is different than high school in a good way, but it certainly is not perfect.  And I feel like the longer I stay here, the longer my ideal vision is ripped to shreds about individuals.

So in short, senior=bad.  I’m undoing all these great thoughts I have.  And i think that’s why I am in such a rush to get out of here.  I feel like the rest of this year has been poisoned or tanted in some way so that I need to just get rid of it so I keep all the fond memories I had of this place.  And my goal is not to soundlike a cynic about UMBC or college, because there are MANY fond memories I have.  I think it is just about that time to hit the old dusty trail…
