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 Envy

The feeling of jealousy that rushes through your body when hearing about others’ academic success and achievements.

The rush of academic envy flowed through my body as she flaunted her A+ while I was stuck with a C.

When there are multiple assignments due for various classes at the same time.

academic zone

When someone you're talking to doesn't want to be friends, just academic acquaintances. This is a downgrade from the friendzone.

Person 1: Hey, is Sally going to be joining us on our beach trip?
Person 2: No, she said she'd rather just do homework with me instead.
Person 2 is in the academic zone.

Academic Triage

Studying one or two subjects in school more than others because of personal preference or just not caring about them.

I’m not studying Latin right now, it’s a sort of Academic Triage.

academic parachuting

when academic groups come in to do community outreach in an attempt to rescue or save impoverished communities however the work is considered lack luster or has not real value to the intended community only the value is perceived by the academics.

We are tired of universities coming in and preforming academic parachuting with no lasting impact.
