Sophomore year 

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.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
