Formerly the 45 mindset, the 4 to 5 mindset was adopted by IB students following the failure of a Mathematics AA HL assessment on the topic of complex numbers. The goal is to pass classes rather than aiming for perfection, in an attempt to maintain sanity and for self-preservation purposes
'Nah, I'm aiming for a 5.'
'What happened to the 45 mindset?'
'I failed my math. All I want now is to pass. Its the 4 to 5 mindset :('

Get the midster mug.Similar to a midlife crisis, midschool crisis is when midterms or finals in school are coming up and you're having a mental breakdown. You start getting frantic because your grades depend on how well you do on finals! You even stay home all weekend and study. Basically you won't have a life until finals/midterms are done.
Me: I'm so stressed out! Midterms are tomorrow and I haven't studied at all! I'm having a midschool crisis!
Friend: Oh. That sucks. :(

Get the connected minds (cm) mug.An phrase that pseudo-intellectuals, brownnosers or sycophants use to elevate themselves intellectually to another by pretending they think or believe the same as they do when in fact so-called "great minds" set themselves apart from others because they really DON'T think like everyone else.
Intellectual: Since the 1950's, the whole of modern western civilization is based off of one driving concept - consumerism! It is the the reason for all the social ills of modern society. Despite the obvious advances in technology in medicine, agriculture, communications, engineering, and alternative energy we as a people are held back because the power rests in the few with the financial and political influence to keep money where is always has been. This rise in technology should be bettering the minds of the masses, but actually is made to anesthetize them and keep them complacent and lethargic.
Pseudo-intellectual: OMG!! Like...wow! I just said the same thing to my friends at the country club yesterday! I say you can get the same quality with Gucci that they get with Prada for less money. But nobody seems to listen. And...ya know...it sooo, like, frustrating? Great minds think alike, right?
Intellectual: *looks down his nose* You're not even in the same conversation.
