coming to class gripping your coffee or energy drink as if it were your lifeline

letting anyone copy your notes if they ask, but keeping the messiest notes ever (despite trying to keep them neat)

raising your hand and correcting the teacher/professor when they fuck up during a lecture

sharing your marked up copies of leviathan, the communist manifesto, and the republic with anyone interested

casually debating with your friends

worn out oxfords or combat boots

dark circles under your eyes

doodling on your quizzes (even if you don't think you're any good) so you don't have to be the first to turn yours in

never being afraid to fight against the system when it's flawed (also never being afraid to fight for somebody's rights)

stress. so much stress.

illegally downloading books, movies and music

don't have a folder, only loose pages with many disorganized notes

messy handwriting only you can understand (and sometimes not even that)

open the first free page in your notebook and start writing there (turn the page and realize that you have already started another topic and you are writing with the notebook upside down)

if you even have a pencil case, have random things inside like a lighter, a cutter, a clip, notes that you kept for being sentimental, coins, 5 erasers (and you thought you didn't have any), old gum or candy all the trash from the pencil sharpener

write poems about rebellion, headaches, how hungry you are, and the failures of the educational system on your bank
