Let’s face it, the term 'genius nerd' is quite the label… but hey, it works! This article will guide you on how to embrace your inner nerd and act like the stereotype of a genius.
Part 1
Step 1. Choose Your Everyday Outfit.
Choose your everyday outfit. You don’t have to wear thick glasses to be a nerd! Dress stylishly! Opt for rimless glasses! Enjoy life! However, if you feel like painting your nails or putting on makeup, hold on. You need to look natural, after all. And yes, be confident! When someone asks you a question, respond quickly, and if bullies come after you, stand your ground.
Step 2. Avoid Popular Magazines.
Avoid popular magazines. Read publications that genuinely interest you. It’s best to dive into math and science. In general, develop your intellect. And also, don’t hold back when those bullies think they’re the coolest—tell them right in their faces that they’re foolish and rude!
Step 3. Write Quickly and Neatly When Taking Notes.
Write quickly and neatly when taking notes. Ideally, write neatly all the time and everywhere.
Step 4. Try to Impress the Opposite Sex.
Step 5. Don’t Get Too Into Sports, But Staying Fit is Fine.
Don’t get too into sports, but staying fit is acceptable. Going to the stadium to cheer? Shout advice to the players from the stands!
Step 6. Avoid Popular TV Shows.
Avoid popular TV shows. Seriously, what are entertainment channels even about? It’s not serious! Watch Discovery instead!
Step 7. You Must Have at Least One Complete Edition of an Encyclopedia at Home.
You must have at least one complete edition of an encyclopedia at home. Naturally, it should be kept in a prominent place. And if the books are old and worn, that’s even better.
Step 8. Keep Your Room in a Mild State of Disorder.
Your room should have a mild state of disorder. Of course, I don’t mean there should be toys or parts of gaming consoles everywhere. Sheets of paper with notes are much better, or even better—books! Lots of books! Read popular science literature about history and science, read biographies of interesting people (not celebrities, but astronauts, for example).
- Undoubtedly, you won’t get far without any fiction, as it wonderfully expands your vocabulary.
Step 9. Speaking of Vocabulary—Actively Expand It and Don’t Forget to Use It!
Speaking of vocabulary—actively expand it and don’t forget to use it! You know, you can always replace a word or two with a more suitable synonym. After all, how mundane is it to say “typed” when you could say something like “furiously hammered away at the keyboard”? However, use smart and expressive words only in appropriate situations, or you’ll come off as a poser (and that’s bad, yikes!). Even better if someone nearby appreciates your vocabulary.
Step 10. Think About Everything and Anything.
Think about everything and anything. If you suddenly catch yourself not thinking about something… yes, start thinking right away! Reflect on yourself, the world around you, don’t hesitate to ask questions to those around you, and by the way, don’t shy away from their answers, especially if they’re better and deeper than what you found.
Step 11. Develop the Habits of a True Nerd.
Develop the habits of a true nerd. A squeaky voice? Perfect. Need to find a solution to an equation? Grab a giant calculator and hold it as close to your eyes as possible while entering data! Pull your pants up to your chest! Sweat! Need to write an essay? Tap the tip of your pen on your head—don’t chew on it, just tap! In general, it’s all quite simple.
Step 12. Make “Nerdiness” Your Profession!
Make “nerdiness” your profession! Nerds can earn a lot, for example, by being tutors.
Step 13. Engage in Math to Know It Better and Deeper Than Others.
Step 14. Learn a Lot of Smart and Expressive Words.
Learn a lot of smart and expressive words. A rich vocabulary will only benefit you.
Step 15. Read a Lot.
Step 16. Carry a Backpack.
Carry a backpack. The height at which you wear your backpack depends on where you study. For example, if local fashion requires wearing it around the waist, don’t let it drop below your shoulder blades.
