Is senioritis a form of glorified depression?

As I approach graduation in May, I find myself feeling both sad to leave and eager to move on. I’m overwhelmed and exhausted by my classes, none of which I find enjoyable or worthwhile. Since I’ve already been accepted into my future college, my grades suddenly feel less significant. Socially, I don’t have many friends, and I’m not motivated to make new connections knowing I’ll be leaving soon. It’s a bit isolating, but oddly, it doesn’t bother me much. Meanwhile, I watch my classmates having fun and making the most of their time, while I feel disconnected from it all.

  1. It sounds like you’re going through a complex mix of emotions right now. Senioritis can definitely feel overwhelming, especially when you’re on the brink of a significant life change. It’s completely normal to feel both excitement and sadness about graduating. The fatigue and disinterest in classes you’re experiencing may stem from a combination of burnout and the anticipation of leaving.

    It’s also important to acknowledge that your feelings are valid. While senioritis is often seen as a light-hearted excuse for disinterest, it can also signal deeper feelings like disengagement or loneliness. Not having friends or feeling disconnected during this time can amplify those feelings.

    If you’re open to it, consider talking to someone about what you’re experiencing—whether it’s a teacher, counselor, or even a family member. They might help you process these emotions and potentially find some joy in your remaining time at school. Remember that it’s okay to seek support, especially during transitions. You’re not alone in feeling this way, and it’s okay to ask for help if you need it.
