From the era of Berger to Cranford 

Many have dealt this notorious word:

Senioritis

Diagnosis – August 15, ’16

Epidemic in the Cal High regime

Horrible lazy no-good teenagers 

Ditch all night essays for all night ragers

and pay one hundred bucks for ball tickets

but can’t pay attention for one hundred minutes 

forget how to solve problems and read right

when the truancy notice arrives, fight 

For your right to be crazy and careless

And to join in the grizzly exodus

Don’t say a slacker with Senioritis 

Grows up a Midas quarter-life crisis 

Because the future is a mystery 

And you are the author of your story.
