Why nerds are unpopular
Why Nerds are Unpopular by Paul Graham
I had to admit I was a nerd in high school. I wore the biggest spectacles and I was president of the computer club - sort of like, a village elder in a rather small tribe of computer geeks.
In a school where having a CSAT of 97 would qualify you as not-so-smart - being a nerd was already quite a feat. (Well, there were worse cases, like those that talked to plants and those that never took baths).
CSAT of 97 is not-so-smart… Well, am I a geek? I dont wear glasses but I did have a CSAT grade higher than 97 though, honestly.
I wonder if I was unpopular back in high school… Maybe I would’ve been if I wasn’t a member of the Dance Troupe. Short skirts and good moves change a lot of things hehe.

well… you’ve always been one of the smarter ones grace
in pisay (unlike in most schools), a CSAT of 99 is pretty much the normal and having a 97 is “below-average.”
i was never unpopular though. i was pretty much involved in all those extracurricular activities and i was one of the better ping-pong players.

WaH! I suck at pingpong. The only sport I’m good at is volleyball…and if cheerleading is a sport, i guess that counts.

CSAT? I got only 91. That’s a VERY “not-so-smart”. Im not sporty. That’s all I can say. I dont study and my brain has bad sectors. I cant even remember anybody’s name. I need to hear the name for like 3 months to remember. Ok, this is out of topic. Yeah yeah …
