Northview is often touted as being the hot-spot of intelligence and high test scores. Any student who goes to this school knows that the competition is high, stress is magnified and teachers vary vastly. For everyone who goes to Northview (both the lovers and the haters), here are five things that you probably know and associate with the school.
1. Being Asian is synonymous with being smart.
It's not that we're being stereotypical or racist, but at Northview it's kind of true.
2. Getting an A- is considered average.
It's my fault. I hang out with people who are way too smart.
3. Minorities are the majority.
We are literally everywhere.
4. The cafeteria is on a diet.
Whole wheat Rice Krispies? Sugar free drinks? Come on man, I'm a hangry teenager, not a dieter.
5. That one kid who always corrects you...
You could say something like "I feel good today. I think it's the weather." and they would respond with "actually, you're only feeling that way because of increased serotonin levels in your brain." At Northview, the population of this type of person is particularly large.
6. Competition is rampant
At Northview, you inevitably attempt to be the best in every aspect of student life. The best clubs, highest grades, most social media followers, etc. Become the best or fight like hell trying. It's like a real-life version of the Hunger Games.
7. You can never take enough AP classes.
You're only taking 50? How do you expect to get into college?
