Is senioritis a real condition?

Senioritis might not be listed in any official medical journal, but it’s about as real as the awkward middle school phase we all endured. It’s not just an excuse to wear sweatpants to school and turn every assignment in late. It’s a very common reaction to a big life transition. After years of deadlines, tests, and college stress, some students just hit a motivational wall. Their brain starts saying, “We’re done here,” while school says, “Not quite.” It’s part mental fatigue, part impatience, and part longing for what’s next. So no, it’s not fake. But yes, it needs to be addressed before it tanks a transcript.
