We called it senioritis. That sudden change of excitement to dread as seniors realize they are going to be separated from the peer group they’re mostly been with for years at their local school and now have to go out and make something of themselves on a new, unfamiliar environment.

"Senioritis" usually describes people who have checked out because they have a short amount of time left and have already received college admissions, so their grades don't matter much.
