Senioritis
Senioritis is the colloquial name for the decreased motivation toward studies felt by students who are nearing the end of their high school, college, graduate school careers, or the end of a school year in general. It is mostly said to occur in senior-level students. Senioritis is not a recognized medical condition, but a colloquial term (in the United States and Canada) that combines the word senior with the suffix -itis, which technically denotes inflammation but refers to a general illness in colloquial speech.
