The last semester of senior year can be the
hardest of a student's career. As the semester
winds down the pressure of graduation begins to
set in, and so do the symptoms of senioritis.
Although many students believe senioritis is a myth,
the truth is senioritis is an illness that can get a hold
of even the best students. Typically, senioritis isn't
fatal if it is managed and treated properly, but if it
goes untreated it can result in a major decline in
the GPA.
Common symptoms of senioritis include: laziness, playing hooky from school, the
uncontrollable urge to procrastinate, frequent naps and an overall distracted feeling
when it comes to work of any kind. As a college senior, I have had a senioritis
symptom or two, and I have many friends who have been affected by senioritis. If you
feel these symptoms taking over, don't worry it isn't too late, because Snagajob has a
few treatments guaranteed to fight off those senioritis symptoms and get you back on
track.

Use the buddy system -- Buddy up with a fellow senior who needs focusing and get
those assignments, job applications and graduation forms finished together. If you
tackle all of that boring stuff with a buddy it can actually be kind of fun.
Stay organized -- Before you know it graduation day will be tomorrow, and if you're
not organized you can miss out on important deadlines and due dates. Keeping a
planner with a set schedule can really help keep you from slacking off. I find that
having a well-organized planner can make all the difference. It helps me hold myself
more accountable for my actions and not to mention the gratifying feeling I get when I
check something off of my to-do list.
Plan for the future -- Although sometimes school may feel like it will never end, the
end will be here sooner than you think. Senioritis has a tendency to infect students
when they're close to the finish line. Be sure to visit your school's career center and
meet with a career advisor. They can help you figure out your options and motivate
you to keep moving forward.
Make it count -- It's your last year of school so you've got to kick the sickness and
make it count. Don't be afraid to break up your rigorous routine and explore new
things. Take a chance and step out of your comfort zone and try something different
because you don't have many chances to be a senior. So take that class you've
always wanted to or join the pancake eating club. Whatever you decide to do, just

Federal law states an employer cannot ask the age of an applicant.
You have specifically asked a birth date with year on your online form.
Asking if you are over age 18 is permissable but NOT birth year. This
should be eliminated to stop age discrimination.

Hi Jean – We do not share your birthdate with employers. We ask you for
your age to make sure you are old enough to join the site.
