About
Lazy College Senior is an advice animal image macro series featuring a young man with short disheveled brown hair drinking a pint of beer. The images are typically captioned with unmotivated statements or behaviors that are associated with burnt out college students during their final year of school, a phenomenon commonly known as “senioritis.”[5] The character can be seen as the antithesis of College Freshman.
Origin
The original image comes from a stock photo found on Photos.com[2] titled "Young Man Drinking Beer At Outdoor Pub" (shown left). The first instance of the series surfaced on November 7th, 2011, when Redditor ikfotsur submitted an image macro titled "Lazy college senior"[3] with the caption "5 minutes late to class / skip entire day" (shown right). The post reached the front page of the r/adviceanimals subreddit, accumulating 9,602 up vote and 510 comments prior to being archived.

The picture is rumored to have been taken at the Highlander Pub in Ottawa, Canada. In March of 2012, Redditor Areean submitted a Google Street View screenshot[19] of the location, noting that the outdoor chairs and tables at the pub matches those seen in the stock photo.

Derivative: Lazy Elementary School Kid
On May 11th, 2012, Redditor Ignite_My_Paradigm submitted an image macro of a young boy reminiscent of Lazy College Senior jokes (shown below, left) to the /r/AdviceAnimals subreddit in a post titled "Lazy Elementary School Kid." The post spawned at least seven additional image macros on the same day. However, the series remained virtually unknown until September 18th when Redditor SilverMars submitted an instance featuring the caption "Story must be 1-2 pages? 1 page it is," (shown below, right) echoing Lazy College Senior's rounding-down of minimum length requirement for his paper assignment.
