As we are in the final home stretch towards graduation,  it’s safe to say that most seniors are tired and fed up with school work.

By now, most of them have already been accepted to college, so class and homework seem pointless; however, we are encouraged by our parents and teachers to “finish strong” and end senior year on a high point instead of slacking.

It’s also stressed that grades will still be checked by colleges through grade reports sent out by our counselors, so it’s important for seniors to maintain good work habits to close out that year at their best.

Check out the really detailed responses below.  Do you think they’re checked out yet?

As you can see, senioritis is very much alive and has taken a hold of the seniors at Towson. Though each senior may have their own take on how they plan on closing out their high school careers, it’s obvious that they are ready to graduate.

I feel for the most part, seniors want to finish the best that they can, regardless of the standards they may hold individually.

The daily battle with senioritis continues, but the hard working seniors of THS will win the war.
