10 Things Only Overextended Academics Will Understand

Editor-in-Chief

  1. Getting frustrated when you can’t find someone willing to study with you at 2 am

Come on, guys, we’ve still got seven hours until the test!

  1. Whipping out whatever random talents you have to make it look like you tried on an assignment

Like when your group makes a music video and rap in French to teach kids about the environment, for instance.

  1. Knowing that crying over a B+ is atrocious but still tearing up a little

So is this 89.9 going to round up to a 90 or what?

  1. Having to explain to everyone that you’re taking four APs and three honors classes entirely by choice

I just really like to learn.

  1. Seeing kids hang out after school and on weeknights

But… homework…

  1. Finding that one kid in your classes who totally understands you

Study Buddies forever and always.

  1. Forgetting everything you just spent eight hours cramming into your brain the moment you turn in your exam

The Han Dynasty? Never heard of it.

  1. Feeling like a monster when you have to disappoint your pet and finish your assignment

Five more minutes and I swear I will pet you.

  1. Having to remind yourself that it’s all worth it because reasons

College…?

  1. Laughing while dying on the inside when someone asks you how you manage to do it all

The answer: I have absolutely no idea.
