If you're looking for a cup of coffee and a refreshing taste of literature this weekend, the staff of -- and some SHU contributors to -- Eye Contact will be reading selections from our campus literary magazine at DV8 cafe in downtown Greensburg this Saturday night (4/12) from 7-8pm, followed by open mic as part of their "Get Lit" series. See the Eye Contact weblog for more details. ALL ARE INVITED! -- Dr. Mike Arnzen
Lauren Miller, 19, agrees. She says the pressure of her senior year in high school was intense, with her advanced-placement classes. Yet, equally intense was the temptation to succumb to "senioritis" and slack off, because she was burned out and preoccupied with college.
In her math class -- not the Greensburg resident's forte -- the disease did kick in.
"I didn't want to be there," says Miller. She is now a freshman at Seton Hill University, majoring in Spanish. "I really had to just force myself to go to math class.
"A lot of people in my high school were just so eager to get out of (school)," she says.Don't slack off, even though it's tempting, Miller advises high-school seniors.
"Even though it's their last semester, those grades are going to count and they're going to show up on your transcripts," she says. "If you start slacking off the last semester of high school, you're not going to be prepared for high school."
