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.

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.

When students are overwhelmed by their school work and feel as if they are downing in assignments that are due soon.
My roommate is academically drowning, she has three papers due in two days!
My professor for philosophy assigned summaries for five 20-page readings this Tuesday that are due today. I feel like I am academically drowning.
