A person who spends almost all of their school career (High School, College, Etc.) focusing only on grades and their resume while not making friends or being social at all before suddenly asking themselves "What the hell am I doing with my life?" The person then dedicates a lot of time to hanging out with people and making friends. These people should be treated with patience and sympathy as they typically enter this phase with limited social skills but are trying their hardest to learn what they missed.
*A group of people just hanging out*
Person: Dude! You're always with us but I still don't know much about you! Why so quiet?
Me: Sorry. I'm still trying to figure everything out. I'm a recovering academic.
Person: Oh hey! Welcome to the party man!
