    5. As a child you devoured piles and piles of books...

    6. Nowadays, your reading material is decidedly more list-based.

    7. You drop your exam grades into conversations at inappropriate times.

    8. You used to fill diaries and journals full of your deepest, innermost thoughts...

    10. You've started attending pub quizzes to give your academic prowess and impeccable general knowledge a chance to shine.

    11. You could probably publish your high school revision notes.

    12. In the midst of a spread sheet nightmare, you know that your super organised past self is proud of you.
