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

....when you see a finals sign on campus that says "Crunch Time" and you AUTOMATICALLY scream in your brain "THAT'S SPELLED WRONG IT SHOULD BE KRUNCH TIME!" And then start to mutter "What time is it? Krunch Time!" to yourself. (I just did this today. I *almost* felt ashamed.)

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

When you hear people at school talking about how last night's basketball game was really close and the first thing you think of is "Good, that means more ranking points for them!"

You know you've overdosed on FIRST when:
While watching the NFL Draft you expect the players to either say: "Sam Bradford regretfully rejects" OR "Sam Bradford Graciously Accepts"

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

...when you still have the Afterparty band on your arm, but the one from getting into the pits got too scratchy and the one from roboprom fell apart in water.
...when you're excited when someone else has their band on, too

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

When your spring break trip to Florida is much less appealing than a weekend in Atlanta for the Championships.

When you keep side shields in your wallet.

When you are debating which team to pick at an offseason event - two weeks before it happens.

When you you now know you can sprint 3/4 of a mile in three minutes, carrying the last black polo from the FIRST store, two cameras, and a tripod, to the game field and still capture the whole match on tape and take pictures.

When your greatest fear in Atlanta was not losing your wallet containing $200, but losing your all-access pass to the event.
