Academic Tantrum

The urge to respond to something completely wrong with a 500 word referenced essay.

Annoying sign: The government hit you with a 25% tax increase on your cigarettes. How much more can they take from you?

You: Gah! Academic Tantrum time!

*pulls out health references and starts to write response, ignoring half finished study, then gets all passive aggressive and makes a post on Urban Dictionary."

academic phoenix

An academic phoenix is a person who will crash and burn their grades for the current semester, with the hope of doing better in the next. "Pulling an academic phoenix" is risky, and is widely regarded as "a bad fucking move" as it can easily destroy your chances of getting scholarships if done wrong.

To be an academic phoenix, you have to be able to pull your grades back from the depths of hell. Otherwise, you'd just be a failure.

"Alright, I won't be able to finish my project in time. Guess I'll just be an academic phoenix."
"Dude, just stop being lazy and do your damn project."

academic wave

A large amount of academic assignments assigned to a student at the same general time (about three weeks at most) (i.e. essays, tests, lab reports, quizzes, projects)

Person #1: I have two lab reports, 3 tests, 3 projects, 1 essay, and 2 quizzes this week!

Person #2: Boy, that's some academic wave!

Academic Support

1. A stupid middle-school class full of slightly below-average kids who really need time to do their homework not some long-ass explanation.
2. The nice word for "Sped School"

Person 1: Yo, bro, wha'chu got next period?
Person 2: Academic Support.
