// In Geosystems, students are learning about different winds.
Mrs. Schmid: The band around the equator is known as the doldrums because sometimes the wind completely dies down, meaning ships are stuck because they can't go anywhere. This is where the expression "to be in the doldrums" comes from, because if someone says that to you, it means you're lethargic. Without motivation. Apathetic. In other words, you're a senior.
