    lol.
    and first

  2. Ribenalion says:

    Yeah this is true. Though student priorities dictate that sleep is the least important… I fall in under zombie lol

  3. TF says:

    That’s actually a motto at my college “Sleep, Social life, Grades: Pick any two.”

  4. Kaarin says:

    So true! I was a zombie!

  5. Siava says:

    Nerd here. :) Very good graph. Two thumbs up.

    • catgirl says:

      I was also a nerd until senior year when I already had a job lined up so grades didn’t matter as long as I passed to get my degree. The teachers call it senioritis.

  6. Yuval says:

    wasn’t this here like, last month?

    (damn search box is useless)

  7. Fabien says:

    i think I was not even on this graph few years ago…
    Another way of defying laws of physics :D

  8. DragonKat says:

    I have two majors and a minor…I also seem to balance all three so…I defy the laws of physics! woot!

  9. heruyan says:

    yep…. totally a zombie

  10. Jefoid says:

    Hmm, I had no sleep or social life. But do zombies really represent a good social life? mmm, braaaaains.

  11. t3hOutlaw says:

    According to this graph..

    I’m currently a Nerd. O_o

    Although I don’t tend to go to bed at a reasonable hour..

    • Kit says:

      I too was a nerd, but when nerds get together, they seem to evolve into zombies. Or just plain sleep deprived nerds. Either way.

  12. Tesh says:

    -The sheer defiance to the laws of physics that his mere existence causes, Tesh is no longer subject to them.-

    Uh….

    -Floats around, immune to gravity.-

    Help?

  13. Pariah Carey says:

    Finally, a properly constructed Venn Diagram! Excellent job. It’s funny because it’s true.

  14. Mihai says:

    best graph ever!!!! summarises 5 years of college perfectly :D

  15. Obligated says:

    Hmm, what is laws of physics have to do with any of it?

  16. someone says:

    Nerds FTW!

    • AngelMax says:

      Finally, a Chart that describes my life perfectly!!!
      I am definitely in the Nerd category. Normally I go to bed before 10 o’clock, but it is now 11:01 PM and I cannot sleep because the people in the dorm room next to me choose to be in the pink area (I cannot imagine they fall into either of the other categories, though… perhaps if there was a “Constantly Inebriated” circle…)
      I want to kill them. I really, REALLY do.

      • someone says:

        I live off campus… Really, it’s worth it. Peace and quiet is a hundred times more important than the convenience of living close to your classes. Having my own little dumpy apartment has saved my sanity.

        • vina says:

          wow the differences between irish and(pardon my presumption) north american colleges are weird……
          we have no on-campus accomodation at my college but its still hard getting sleep sometimes because most of the students live in the apartment buildings/housing estates in the surrounding area.That and five of my six housemates fail to understand that not all of us want to have parties at 2.30am……..

          WILLOW PARK ATHLONE FTW!!!!!

  17. sara says:

    i defy the laws of physics… suckas!!!

    yay good time management skills

  18. crazykitteh says:

    I like this one!

  19. rach says:

    According to this, Im a zombie. …..which really, is how I feel most the time.

  20. Casa says:

    Awsome! Another slacker in the sea of zombie nerds!

  21. Points Out The Obvious says:

    Personally I’d redo this graph as a statistics triangle to graph myself and the people I know. Say each vertex has a maximum of 5 units and you can distribute 10. Mine would have 3 into social, 3 into grades and 4 into sleep.

    • dolt says:

      your’e taking this way to seriously

      as an aside i’m in sixth form and they say we should do an extra 20 hours studying a week on top of all the work they give us, they also say we should have a part time job for experrience, but of course they don’t want us not to have a social life, at first i thought “but there isn’t 20 spare hours in a week unless you count weekends and the point of weekends is not to work, and even so there wouldn’t be enough time to do those other thongs” however after several weeks i came to the conclusion that i shouldn’t sleep, however i didn’t think it was a very good idea and now i find myslef laking in all three areas

  22. Darcie says:

    I fall under “sleep”
    Now I will go fall asleep.

  23. Spazmo says:

    I move back and forth between ‘zombie’ and ‘nerd’, occasionally passing through ‘defies laws of physics’ on the way. :D Mostly I fit ‘nerd’ best though.

  24. nightinferno says:

    Apparently I’m defying the laws of physics then, 8-9 hours of sleep a night, with a 32 hour a week job, with A’s and B’s, and Thursday nights and Saturday nights are my days away from it all.

  25. O.o says:

    I do all three, but that’s probably because I’m a Philosophy major. Most of my work consists of me going “hmmm…”

  26. fmylife says:

    I fall outside the graph entirely. FML

  27. MissLace says:

    A venn diagram that works in correctly in all it’s sectors!
    Pat your self on the back, Akintudne! Well deserved!

  28. Fish Taco Salad says:

    This was a well thought out, funny graph that is true to the demands of college life. good work

  29. Marianne says:

    this is an absolute perfect rendering. kudos to the maxx.

  30. Andrea says:

    Add in the 4th variable- food.

  31. Kolora says:

    Yaay for defying the laws of physics.

  32. DragonKat says:

    No, nerds are smart, geeks are not. A geek can be with anything, nerds are specifically ’smarter’. But I suppose this all depends on where you grew up. Where I’m at, the nerds are the smart ones.

  33. Alex says:

    WIN – This is so true. I fall heavily into the nerd category.

  34. Pheemz says:

    Guess I’m the exception. I got plenty of sleep, worked part time, had a social life and got first class honours. I found the trick to be don’t bother attending most lectures, they were largely useless. So I slept through morning lectures, worked through afternoon ones, then worked or went out in the evenings.

  35. eng442 says:

    college sux… ‘.’

  36. Alma says:

    I guess that means I defy the laws of physics.. lol

  37. wade says:

    HAHAHA. saved to harddrive

  38. jjmblue7 says:

    Would fit under Nerd according to the graph, but I would consider myself an Asocial Slacker not having to try too hard to get good grades.

  39. Hombretubes says:

    Yay for living in Australia and having a completely different, superior tertiary education system where most students don’t have to pay or leave home, and the ‘frat boys’ are just douchebags who usually drop out of high school.

  40. Ninjedi says:

    XD Soo true. And it applies to high school life too – especially junior year!

  41. Destin says:

    <–Offended!

  42. Erniewan says:

    I’m a bit of each, so I don’t fall into any one category, and yet I don’t defy physics.
    ~5-6 hours sleep, B-range grades, and watching TV shows with friends every other night.

  43. Anon says:

    Physics student… who apparently defies physics. Damn, better go tell my professors so I can rewrite all my textbooks.

  44. Nulono says:

    FAIL.

    Move the circles further apart so that there is no center intersection.

  45. Davis says:

    I’ll be writing about my college experiences from over 30 years ago in today’s post, so this was great timing for me to get some inspiration. Thanks.

  46. Nate says:

    Well if you’re a theoretical physics person you can defy the laws of physics because most of your work involves sitting all day and thinking about stuff, and maybe writing some of it down.

  47. Foremoler says:

    Add work to the mix

  48. Iden says:

    I deffy the laws of physics, Its amazing, but one little slip in scheduling and I instantly fall into the zombie category, until I re-establish my organization.

  49. Film izle says:

    this is an absolute perfect rendering. kudos to the maxx.

  50. XD Soo true. And it applies to high school life too – especially junior year!

  51. I’ll be writing about my college experiences from over 30 years ago in today’s post, so this was great timing for me to get some inspiration. lots of thanks..

  52. Emoid says:

    Man, I struggle for mid-70s to mid-80s. It’s always a relief to get a B. I’m in the ‘nerd’ category but still manage to only have “okay” grades.

  53. thanks for the goodpost.

  54. DubbLE_TaiLZ says:

    I defy the laws of physics, but i’m not in college yet. a few yeerz tho………………

    ~Miles “Tails” Prower~ (Miles Per-hour)

  55. DubbLE_TaiLZ says:

    Also applies to middle school life in all years.

    ~Miles Prower~

  56. DubbLE_TaiLZ says:

    Physics is phun. Pøkémøn fan
    ~MilesPrower~

  57. xnubpwnurx says:

    FURST COMMANT BICHEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

  58. thanks for the goodpost… good luck.

  59. PlaidZombieNerd says:

    Zombie nerd FTW…

  60. TR says:

    This is so freakin true! I’m both a nerd and a zombie depending on the day. I can never ever manage to do all three although most ppl down here at WFU can do it all. They really are superhumans.

  61. TRWolfe says:

    Haha… I fall into the Defying Physics category :D happily.

  62. Ellen says:

    I am hoping to be in the Nerd category… but I am such a slow, meticulous worker that I will probably have great grades, but no sleep OR social life. :(

  63. stinkycheese says:

    sometimes i’m a nerd. Other days I defy physics! ;) but i sure sleep a lot!

  64. Abs says:

    The center should say “Defines” not “Defies”

  65. ... says:

    im a zombie ….awesome!!!

  66. vina says:

    i need sleep otherwise the whole college suffers.have a social life during the day/when i have money/when the hot guy doesn’t get the bus home.get ok grades….not that hard really……….

  67. Bertenjourney says:

    I tend to shift back and forth between nerd and zombie

  68. :P says:

    I defy the laws. I sleep, have good grades and slack off with a social life….Yet I’m still online….
