sophomore year

The first legit year of high school. This is the year when you start to have a more authentic high school experience unlike freshman year. Most people are turning 16, you can get your license, get a job, and have a lot more independence overall. Classes are harder than the year before, more is expected of you. You kind of have to have some idea of what college you want to go to so you can a head start on requirements etc. despite all the hype of not being a freshman anymore, you're still not really an "upperclassmen" until junior year. unfortunately.
Freshman: "Eh, I hate being a freshman, it's boring and basically like 8th grade."

Sophomore: "It'll get better. Next year you can get your drivers license and stuff. sophomore year is where it's at."

Sophomore year 

Share definition Flag
The most irrelevant year of high school. It’s basically the “middle child” of high school. It’s basically a filler year. But it’s a really easy year. And at least you get more respect than the freshmen. By sophomore year, you should be more comfortable with your surroundings now & you pretty much already know the routine of high school. But you’re still not an upperclassman yet, so don’t get too cocky just because you’re not a freshman anymore. And this is the last easy year you’re gonna have, so enjoy it before you hit junior year.
“Is sophomore year hard”?
“No it’s basically like freshman year

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
