Most of the Form of 2024 is currently battling senioritis. However, for those who are still waiting to arrive at the sentiment, it feels like a myth. Many of my friends have ironically said, “What even is homework? It doesn’t matter,” yet they continue to feel the need to succeed. Other seniors continue to do their work, although the quality of work wavers in comparison to early terms. Senior spring looks different for everyone. Eliza Tse ‘24 shares, “Well, I'm about a week behind for every single class, so I'm gonna say no, I no longer do my work.” Tse is amongst the many who have taken the ultimate relaxed approach to this term. Contrastingly, Lilly Ehlinger ‘24 feels the need to keep up and says, “I do my homework the night it is assigned, but I’m in an art class so that's pretty senior spring to me.” Ehlinger finds herself amongst the many who aren’t yet taking their foot off the gas.
Evidently, senior springing differs greatly amongst the class. Many seniors also find themselves in the category of people who await warmer, sunnier weather before fully letting loose. As they hold out hope for the future May flowers following this month’s April showers, they look forward to boat dock days, Chapel Lawn volleys, less completed work, and an increase in relaxation. No matter the approach taken, whether resembling the tortoise or resembling the hare, we will all make it past the June 2nd finish line after living our own realizations of “Senior Spring.”
