FINDINGA CURE:

For those of you who have yet to experience the

phenomenon known as Senioritis, consider yourselves

lucky. For many who are completing the final semester of

their degree, the struggle of Senioritis is all too real. It can be

described as a decrease in levelsof motivation towards

studies nearing the end of ones university career. Symptomsinclude opting for any other activity instead of attending class,

dreading anything that requires opening a textbook and a

general sense of apathy towards all things school-related.

We have compiled some tips to help you combat those nasty

symptoms, doctors orders!

1. GOAL SETTING

Sit down, and focuson what it is you really want in 5 years

from now. What do you want to be doing? What do you want

to have accomplished? Be specific, and be optimistic. Its

true when they say you can do anything you put your mind to

(and work hard for). Put these goals where youwill see them

on a daily basis. Remind yourself of what you want, and thatwhat you are doing now is helping to prepare you to get

there.

2. STUDY SMART

By now we have all learned that leaving that 2000 word paper

until 11 pm the night before is not necessarily the best

strategy; however history seems to continue to repeat itself.

And while we all have good intentions at the beginning of the

semester, the weeks begin to pass, and readings go undone.

Sit and reflect on the lessons you have learned over the past

years, there is no better time than right now to implement

those lessons. Read ahead, make good notes, start that end

of-term project now.. I dare you. You may have scheduled

study and work time into your day, but simply blocking off a

period of time is not enough. Be sure to make the most ofthis time to by getting rid of all of the distractions. Facebook

will still be there once youve finished reading that chapter,I

swear.

3. TRY SOMETHING NEW

Im sure you have heard it a million times by now, but what

you do outside of the classroom is what differentiates you

from others in the job market. What you might not hear as

often is that you will rememberthese experiences long after

you have forgotten who the heck Michael Porter is, or what

the four Ps of Marketing are. Get involved, volunteer, give

something you have always wanted to do a shot. Adding

something new inyour finalsemester will certainly helpkeepthings interesting.

One final note: if this is your last year, it is helpful to sit back

and reflect on where you were when you first began your

days in University and realize how far you have come. Think

about all of the incredible people that you have met, and

realize that you will never all be in the same space again.

Enjoy the company of those around you and the last days of

your undergrad!
