The 7 Easy Steps of Sophomore Life

Wake up.
- Depending on what mods you have off, this may or may not be before noon.
Reflect on your accomplishments and feel good about yourself!
- Remember that you just aced the last quiz…if acing is an 80%.
- Remember that you are in exceptionally advanced classes for a sophomore…but not for an IMSA sophomore.
Get your first worksheet of the day and watch all of your genius classmates fly through it.
- Complete the first question.
- Feel proud of yourself for figuring out the first question.
- Go on to the second question. Realize that it’s too hard and skip it, and then realize that question #3 is based off your answer to question #2.
- Realize that the person next to you is already finished.
Feel dumb.
- Not that this is anything new for us sophomores.
Cry.
- We all know how to do this.
- Depending on how many friends you have in the class, you may choose to weep discreetly.
Feel down for the rest of the day.
- Remember that you have three quizzes, a unit test, and a speaking assessment tomorrow.
- Notice that your classmates aren’t even studying for the test, because they’re so smart that they don’t need to.
Repeat.
- Until summer vacation.
