"Deadlines& Senioritis"

As seniors we are coming to the end of our high school race, 

But is it just me or has the world increased its pace?

The days and weeks seem to speed right by, 

And time just seems to fly. 

But this seems to work against us,

Because now deadlines seem to approach faster this is never a plus. 

So what can we do when there are three deadlines approaching? 

And the daily homework, quizzes and tests start encroaching?

Most would say this is an easy enough problem to solve, 

If you just do the work then they will dissolve. 

But it is so hard to focus on work when struck by Senioritis,

It makes us all sit there thinking "Why should I do this?". 

Then comes the struggle to complete everything on time,

But by then the work has piled up and become a big mountain to climb. 

And then seeing how much work there is to do 

Senioritis kicks in and makes its symptoms times two. 

It’s a vicious cycle when you get caught, 

And the only thing to stop it is to be fought. 

Take each assignment one step at a time, 

And somehow make them by the deadline. 

Better to do one thing early,

Then face a teacher who’s surly. 

And this is my solution to getting things done,

And still having some time to have fun.
