As we near the end of the 2022-2023 school year, seniors are getting closer to graduating each day. With this in mind, the theory of “senioritis” has been circling the halls of Panther Creek. This term describes the loss of motivation that seniors feel as they complete their last year of high school because they have already been accepted into college or have a plan for after graduation. They just want to be finished with high school and move on to other things. Let’s answer the burning question: is senioritis real?

Something we failed to realize in our desire to write about senioritis was the fact that most of the people running PCNN are, in fact, seniors. They, as you may expect, are suffering from the very concept we are attempting to prove. No interviews were conducted, no polls were done, and no graphics were created. This shell of a story is only a thing of substance due to another sophomore doing her job in photography and myself, a lowly writer, working with what she has got. In lieu of an enticing story full of memorable interviews and intelligent discourse, I leave you a haiku:

Senioritis

No one interviewed.

No seniors doing their jobs.

Just graduate.
