You know you're in IB when...


I think maybe this will help you all understand the ridiculous world in which I live known as the International Baccalaureate...

You know you're in IB when....

-You begin to talk to yourself, then disagree about the subject, get into a nasty row about it, lose, and refuse to talk to yourself for the rest of the day.

-You can spell "Baccalaureate".

-You go to bed at 3AM and think, "Oh, it's an early night!"

-You've fooled yourself into believing that colleges actually care whether you're in IB or not.

-You write sentences on multiple-choice tests.

-Your idea of impure thoughts is whether or not to copy math homework.

-You've developed an imprint of your book bag in your back.

-Your books weigh more than you do.

-You consider giving up going to the bathroom permanently to give you more time to study.

-You find that you overreact when you get 2 points marked off on your homework.

-The simplest words you know are at least 10 letters long.

-You still get kicks saying "Your epidermis is showing."

-You think MTV is a formula for mass, temperature and volume.

-You've mastered the art of procrastination so well that your research paper finishes printing just seconds before you have to leave for school.

-You find pleasure in spelling people's names using chemical symbols.

-You sneak Rubik's cubes into class.

-You compare your love life to politics and/or math.

-Energy drinks and coffee become the largest part of your diet.

-You miss school to do homework.

I can honestly say that probably 90% of these are directly applicable to my own life experience. Especially the whole procrastination thing. I've literally had to chase the bus because i was waiting for a major paper to print... more than once. And whenever an IB kid skips school it's to finish a research paper or big assignment.
