Post season: After months of evening and weekend meetings chewing up your free time, you're thrilled to see one of your students ask "When's the next meeting?"

When classmates are setting up booths in the hall for a school project and you catch yourself asking, "Can I leave this in your pit?"

When you walk into class and your algebra 2 teacher is looking at the Algebra 1 stuff, and when you see the word "elimination", you have flashbacks to the Indiana State Champs

-you get a little too excited over a wire stripper at home depot at 9:30 in the morning
-that one pair of safety glasses, those are mine don't touch them
-you own enough buttons to make a knight's armor
-every sci fi movie is no fun to watch because the robots are way too impractical and difficult to build to justify its existence
-you get excited over having another 3/8 anything
-wire crimping comes naturally

When you know your math teacher is, because if you can't figure out the answer to a problem on a test you might as well guess 159 because it's always the answer to one of the questions.

Re: You know you've overdosed on FIRST when...

…when you have forty tabs open on your phone and only three aren't Chief Delphi, Github, or WPILIB. Also when you had 1678's 2016 repo open on three different tabs until you closed the other two. (I forgot it was already open)

…when you see the word count of one of your college essays is 254 and you aren't even mad that you went over four words because Cheesy Poofs.

…when you know that there are only 5 days, 9 hours, and 35 minutes until the hardest fun of 2017 begins.
