Editor in Chief & IVIanaging Editor
As the weather warms and the days
lengthen, many students in their last year
here at BC are having more and more
trouble making it to class, paying attention
in class, completing work for class and/or
maintaining good habits in general.
Don’t worry too much about this though,
as these are symptoms of a disease which
should be out of your system around May
15.
The condition: Senioritis. Symptoms of
this condition include, but are not limited

to: 1 - A general apathy about schoolwork
and grades. 2 - An inability to
wake-up whenyour alarm goes
off, coupled by the unbelievable
desire to sleep till noon. 3 - A
seemingly un-ignorable drive
to spend the day either outside,
basking in the spring warmth,
or to spend the day in bed,
dozing drowsily while the rain
taps at your window. 4 - An
unquenchable desire to palm
a tall, cool container of one’s
favorite adult beverage while
simultaneously breathing in
the tantalizing scent of meat
cooking over abed of hot coals.
5 - An inability to maintain
formerly healthy routines,
such as formal exercise, due
to a general malaise, lack of disciphne and
overall lack of caring.

This Saturday, April 8, the Brevard
College Climbing Club will be hosting
a climbing competition open to all BC
students. The competition will take place
at alumni Jeremy Whitworth’s Brevard
Rock Gym, with registration beginning
at 10 AM.
This event is a part of the Appalachian
region’s College Climbing Series, and
winning this competition would be great for
climbing around Brevard. John Hyde, the
Climbing Club president who was important
afflicted with this malady, expresses his
sentiments, “Get me the ?!@$
out!”
Senior Newton is so afflicted
he could only muster the
affirmation, “Yeah, I’ve got
it.”
For some students, senioritis
canbe afairly mild disease, one
which doesn’t really affect their
plans for after college.
Senioritis survivor Joseph
Chilton notes, “If you have
enough banked credit hours then
senioritis is a fairly iimocuous
affliction. Except for your
liver”
Unfortunately there is no
cure for Senioritis, however,
the best way to work around it
is to remind yourself that no matter what
you have coming up, the symptoms will
dissipate quickly after graduation.
in setting this event up, encourages all BC
students to participate. Hyde says that the
best way for Brevard College to earn a
win is for as many students as possible to
participate.
Said active Climbing Club member
Travis Gray, “I’m looking forward to
seeing some people locally come out and
I’m ready for some people who are getting
into climbing to experience the culture
and the lifestyle. And I can’t wait to see
everyone crush.”
So, BC Students, make sure to clear
your schedules for Saturday, April 8 so
that you can show your Brevard College
pride and help the Chmbing Club huck its
meat. Hard.
