4. Several pairs of scissors, tape cutters, gloves, and rolls of tape have mysteriously followed you home.
5. You argue over who gets to fill the water bottles.
6. So many water coolers have spilled in your car that when it gets cold outside, the inside of your car windows and your car seats freeze with ice from the moisture inside of your car.
7. The highlight of your day is making heel and lace pads.
8. You have permanent tan lines from 3-a-day practices.

28. You have actually boiled water in a metal pan for coffee or tea with your ultrasiund machine.
29. On your rare nights off, you spend time going to other schools games.
