Storm Reid, the talented 21-year-old actress, recently opened up about her college experience, expressing her feelings of "senioritis" during her final year at the University of Southern California. While attending the TIME Women of the Year Gala in West Hollywood, Reid shared that the pressure and excitement of graduating have led to emotional moments, even causing her to shed some tears.
"I was in the car crying yesterday because the senioritis is so bad," she admitted. Reid, who has achieved success in Hollywood, noted that while she is eager to graduate, she also wants to savor the time she has left in school. "I’m so over it and ready to graduate, but I’m just being patient and trying to cherish each moment. I know it’ll be over in two months, and then I’m going to be so sad," she added.
Senioritis, a common experience for students in their final year, reflects a decline in motivation and focus as graduation approaches. Reid has certainly made the most of her college life, stating, "I’ve partied, I’ve stayed out all night. I’ve gone to the games — football, basketball."
Despite her fame, she has focused on maintaining a low-key presence on campus. In 2023, Reid shared that she sees herself primarily as "Storm the student," often spotted in her sweats heading to class. She expressed a desire to enjoy the typical experiences of young adulthood, like attending football games and hanging out with friends late at night.
Moreover, Reid plans to step back from her role as Gia Bennett in the upcoming season of Euphoria. She conveyed her excitement about the show’s future while also expressing gratitude for her time on the series, acknowledging its impact on her career.
As she prepares to transition from student life to the next chapter, Reid’s reflections serve as a reminder of the challenges and joys of balancing a thriving career with education. Her story resonates with many young people navigating similar paths, highlighting both the pressures and the rewards of this stage in life.
