Senioritis is an Opinion column written by one or two Stevens student(s) in their last year of study to discuss life experiences during their final year at Stevens, and other related subject matter.
This past week saw another disruption to the norm as Stevens closed campus and students were sent home. There were some eerie similarities between the water main fiasco and the first days of the COVID-19 pandemic three springs ago.

I am quite lucky that, despite being a double major, I am finished with most of the requirements to receive undergraduate degrees in mathematics and physics after this semester.
This is the final semester of my Stevens career, but that does not mean I’m familiar with the ins and outs of Hoboken.
This weekend, I ended up doing very little substantive work on class assignments or other tasks I had on my to-do list.

It’s about that time of year again. Students are back from a Thanksgiving holiday that gave them a taste of what it felt like not to focus on school every hour.
