You read the FAQ section of the state website because you're bored despite no longer competing.

1. Under any circumstances you know exactly how much sleep you can get and still be a functioning human the next day.
2. When you get extremely upset when someone takes away one of your studying materials and tells you that you're going to have some fun for once, despite your protests that you were already having fun.
3. When you have hidden resources everywhere from your phone to your backpack so that you can still study when friends and family take your obvious resources away.

When you seriously consider whether or not swim goggles qualify for Class C eye protection because they don't have vents (direct or indirect).

(meteo) you almost never go outside, but on the rare occasion that you do, you immediately recognize the type of cloud in the sky, and can make a mental weather station model where you are
(mission possible) whenever someone mentions a pulley you fall over and break into hysterical crying
