Senioritis
Definition: the ability to convince oneself that going out on a Wednesday night is infinitely more important than a philosophy paper worth at least 20% of a class grade.
Additional facets: when the paper is due in less than 2 hours, and you are on facebook, twitter, or, even better, blogging about your inability to care about the paper or any other school work.
One step further: staring out the window is far more preferable/rational/productive than referencing philosophers on the subject of natural rights.
Synonyms: apathy, alcoholism, oblivion.
Antonyms: productivity, A+ on that paper.
Use it in a sentence: Marisa's senioritis led her to imbibe many delicious cocktails with her friends on a weeknight, kept her convinced that her philosophy paper wouldn't matter in 10 years, a month, or tomorrow, and helped her justify sleeping in on top of it all. NU 09.
[to make myself feel better, I am reminding everyone that I do have almost 100% in Legal Argumentation, for what that's worth.]
