Senioritus. None of our students experience this at all, right? It is that time of year again where we preach to our students about the hazards of not finishing strong. Rather than lecture- I wrote this "Senioritus Blues" last summer. Enjoy!
Senioritis Blues
By Cyndy McDonald, cyndy@mycca.net
Yo, I have worked my butt off four years straight
Taken tests over and over with my classmates
Volunteered my face in all the school clubs
Took AP classes until I was ready to hit the local pub
Ran for office more than was my due
Played Varsity football, soccer, and wrestling too
Choose my list of colleges with my advisor’s might and strength
Not too long, not too short, just the right length
Essays and applications, perfected and polished
Are what it took to get me into college
Now my answers have come back clear
No from some, and yes from the one I held most dear
I can party now, and enjoy myself from now to June
Replace homework with music on my iPod to stay
Drop Calculus and take time with friends after lunch
No need to study, the AP test will be a cinch
I can go to prom and stay up until dawn
Forget about helping my parents or mowing the lawn
Now I am singing the senioritis blues
In a letter from the college I got the news
My record is no longer stellar
The college did not like seeing my grades in the cellar
The college withdrew my acceptance for the fall
My face will no longer grace the freshman hall
Learn from my story and don’t let senioritis get to you.
Or you too will be singing the senioritis blues.
