Continuing from the success of my previous post outlining a recipe for an IB student, I decided to write another satirical piece on the ridiculous amount of work we have to do as an IB student.  Enjoy!

Things to Look Out For

• Eyes that carry the bags made fashionable by sleep deprivation
• Terrible posture and stiff necks from hours of hunched backs
• Ink-stained fingers on sore, aching hands
• Overflowing bags with notes from 6 full-on subjects

How You Know You’ve Met One at a Party

• Cravings for coffee: will get aggressive and confused if denied
• A strong propensity for inebriation, providing a much-needed release
• Incredible bullshitting skill
• Will casually know random words from other languages (due to compulsory language-learning)
• Will get mad if non-IBers complain about work
• If you haven’t met them.  They’re likely sleeping through homework that is weeks overdue.  They don’t have a life, duh.
