Expectations/Pressure

<p>Does anybody else ever feel this way? I made a perfect score on my first physics and my first and second calc exam, and there's just...always a lot of pressure from people that I will 'always' be that hundred on test x and y. I feel like people are always going to just expect me to have it, and if not... I don't know if I'd feel more like I disappointed myself or if people will just be...blaghr.</p>

<p>I feel the same way too. I am stereotyped as the class nerd because I mostly get 100’s and 90’s on my test. I feel that they are always expecting me to get that 100 or 90 and if I don’t they would find out and tease me about it. Don’t know why this happens though. I don’t like the expectations put on me so I prefer not to talk about my grades most of the time.</p>

<p>They’ll probably be happier if you make a 90 once in a while, getting 100s all the time is boring. Also, it makes people jealous.</p>

<p>I tell a lot more people when I fail tests than when I do well. I think it’s a cultural faux pas to talk about good grades.</p>

<p>Yeah. It’s annoying. They freak out when you get an 89, but shrug when you get a 100.</p>
