You procrastinate on your homework by researching things for your team, and eventually go down a rabbit hole of "oh what can this thing (which isn't related to what you are originally searching) do" for hours.

Second to last one is amazing:) :)

You drive almost 200 miles to volunteer at an offseason event your team isn't at.

When you had a full day, then an all night laser tag party, then an academic decathlon competition and still go to robotics (basically no sleep for 48 hours)
