You might be an academic if…

• You have ever used the word ‘salient’ in a sentence
• All your calendars begin with September
• Your child’s name includes a colon (e.g. Marybeth: A high flying romp through normative childhood behaviors or Kierkegaard’s worst nightmare?)
• You know way too many acronyms
• You feel that the time between May and September is a Bacchanal of the soul
* You are attached to your middle initial
* You know what ‘fat. rate’ refers to
* You don’t have time to read The New Yorker
* Knowing another language means being able to make text to text translations
* You have forgotten your GRE scores
* You’ve been meaning to take up a hobby for years now
* When you enter a library, you feel much like P.Diddy at Sky Bar
* You’ve found yourself accidentally lecturing when just trying to hold a normal conversation
* You look around your house and think, ‘hmm, I should do some housework,’ then get sidetracked and start thinking about something else, only to find yourself buying a book at a second hand bookstore a week later on America’s fascination with cleanliness
* Shopping for a new shirt, you ask yourself, “are the eighties back in an ironic or a nostalgic way?”
* You have made a joke and/or laughed at something statistics related
