10 Signs You're An IB Diploma Student
Luxatia International

The International Baccalaureate Programme is defined as "a two-year educational programme primarily aimed at students aged 16–19 which provides an internationally accepted qualification for entry into higher education and is recognized by many universities worldwide." However, many students simply regard it as exhaustion and an outlet to drink a lot of coffee.

1. You get above a 70 on annotations and cry from joy.


It's a miracle if a Lit HL student passes annotations, and if they god forbid get an A, watch out because they become annoyingly chipper.

2. You're always carrying coffee.


Because we're always up so late studying and finishing IAs *cries*

3. You'll find yourself repeating the phrase "Can I get CAS for that?" about 90 times a day.

Your CAS coordinator will know everything you've done in your life because you're always asking them if it counted for CAS.

4. You'll become so emotionally attached to your Extended Essay.


Once you spend a year researching and writing a 4,000-word essay, you'll inevitably act as if it's your first born child.

5. You see other IB kids from other schools and talk as if you've known each other since birth

"Oh my god what's your EE on? How's your Math Studies IA coming because mine's been rejected 3 times." Friendships for life, people.

6. When looking at colleges, you'll check if they accept your IB diploma first.

And if they don't, say goodbye to that school.

7. You become such good friends with your teachers that you find yourself spending your free time hanging out in their rooms and complaining about your workload.

8. You don't have a clue what ToK is about.


Like seriously, it's been 2 years. What are we learning?

9. You have 6 different Study Groups.

You also cry together while talking about the upcoming Bio Test.

10. You wait until the night before to do everything.

Although we've chosen to go into this program and most of the time it's overwhelming, we wouldn't change it for the world because the benefits that we've received from it override the exhaustion.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
