I’M SO TIRED.
Now that I’m a senior in college, senioritis has returned with a vengeance, hitting much sooner than it did back in high school. I feel out of order and worn down. Graduation feels close enough to touch but still just out of reach. There’s this strange in-between space where you’re both nostalgic and restless, grateful and completely over it. In this blog post, I talk about what senioritis is, the difference between high school senioritis and college senioritis, and how we college seniors can combat it while enjoying our last year!

In high school, running was the necessary evil of soccer practice. But years later, inspired by my dad and a group of friends signing up for the Tar Heel 10-Miler, I decided to give running another shot. With shin splints, a solid training plan, and a newfound appreciation for small victories, I’m pushing toward 10 miles—proving to myself that the girl who once despised running might just be a runner after all.
