Re: You know you're addicted to FIRST when...
You know that you're Passionate about FIRST when:
(All of which I've seen from one or more of the college advisors on Team 461)

1. You come back from Winter vacation early to prepare for the kickoff.
2. You make a choice after your sophomore year that you'd be best off spending at extra year at college (and paying the out of state tuition) so that you can lighten your load and be more accessible FIRST mentor.
3. You spend time in professors office hours getting ahead on material so that you can apply it to a design.
4. You realize that your 21st birthday will occur during the last week of the build season this year, and it doesn't annoy or bother you.
5. When you put into your weekly schedule two all-nighters per week.
6. You take as a loss some future job opportunities by taking a .4 or .5 lower GPA than you're capable of in hopes that you're practical design and leadership experience will shimmer in your resume brighter than the magic number.
