On these hot, humid, days, we all tend to feel a little lethargic, torpid, slothful. And while being lazy never got anyone into top colleges, the CollegeBoard LOVES putting words that mean lazy or lacking energy on the SAT. So here are a whole bunch of them to learn and associate together:
apathetic – showing or feeling no interest, enthusiasm, or concern:
lethargic – sluggish and apathetic
