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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
