The nice weather we’ve had throughout the winter season has only made the anticipation for summer vacation greater. With only five Mondays left of the 2011-2012 school year, students are finding it harder to pay attention and easier to slack off.
Senior Dylan Brynjulson commented, “I’m extremely excited for summer. I’m looking forward to no school and working to make more money than I am now because I need it for college. I’m slacking off so bad in all of my classes; senioritis hit me like sophomore year. The worst part about summer getting closer is that waking up in the morning seems to be getting harder every day.”
Although “senioritis” is at a high in the school for the senior class, the underclassmen are just as ready to be done with school. “I’m so excited for summer, so I can play more softball,” said sophomore Alanna Schmeichel. Freshman Brite Edberg added, “Yeah, I’m very excited for summer and not having school because it’s a lot less stress to not worry about homework.” Summer can be all fun and games for most high school students, but junior Christian Witt is planning to work all summer. Students may be slacking off as the end comes, but Spanish teacher Kimberly Schmidt is doing everything but that. “I get panicky thinking about all the things I haven’t taught yet,” commented Schmidt.
Being anywhere but school is on students’ minds as summer approaches. Slacking in class, not finishing homework, no motivation to get up in the mornings. Some may call it lazy, but it seems to be a case of summer fever that has hit West Central, and there is nothing more to it.
