Reading Between the Texts

Akin to the phrase “Reading between the lines” reading between the texts is a phrase used to describe the confusion of tone and implication in texting, especially with the member of preferred sex.
She texted me “Hey” but with 2 y’s. Maybe she thinks I’m cute, but I could be reading between the texts.

Academic Compromise

When a student (commonly, in High School) takes so many advanced level classes (i.e. AP and IB) and extracurriculars that they cannot possibly pass or succeed in them all efficiently without sacrificing the time for basic human needs.
Person 1: Did you hear about Tony? He took 5 AP courses this year!

Person 2: Yeah, he’s also in Chinese club. AP Physics won’t stop giving him homework. He’s fallen into academic compromise.

Person 1: Poor, poor Tony.
