You know youve overdosed on FIRST when you and a team mate who are 15-16 walk into Lowes and know exactly where to go.

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

When hearing your parents say you can't participate this season makes you cry.

And you're still can't stop thinking about the Game Hint, even you know you can't play.

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

...when you know exactly what your teammate's going to say today, and make sure you don't run into them.
...when you open your mouth and say "five"...and your teammate cuts you off with "I know."

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

...when you notice that all the blue alliance banners in our signatures are not showing up.
...when you discover that the blue alliance is down and start frantically wondering why.
...when you become very happy when tba is back up 6 hours later.

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

Oh countdowns. Theres just soomething magical about watching time melt away to some of your favorite days of the year.

Probably already been said but:
-when the KOP is like a late Christmas present
-When February Break (for schools that have it) isnt really a break, because it's almost ship date
-when you spend your spare time watching the game animations from prior seasons
