DO you need AA?

You sign up for AA because your friends tell you that you need it. Your family encourages it. Your significant other threatens the end of the relationship unless you attend AA.
It starts out like every cliche AA session

"Hi, I'm --- (insert name here), and... I'm an alco...I mean, architect."

.....this is the introduction in the many groups archiecture students on facebook are a part of. Architecture kids love to procrastinate on how much their major sucks, despite claiming that they don't have any time to use facebook, joining groups with as many members as 200. Architecture students love to complain about how much time they don't have, registering groups such...

"I Don't Need Sex, Architecture school fucks me everyday",
"Architects- We Do Models all Night Looong"...along with this image

.... a support group for those who are addicted to architecture. Admitting it helps; you are not alone. There are other people that have the same craving for really strong design. Others don't understand the addiction of nights spent cutting up chipboard, and foam core, using the "wood chopper," and one xacto blade after another... "

If you're an arch major , I'm sure you've read this already. But to those roommates and lovers and family members who still don't understand... This pretty much sums up the list of an architecture major.

-Your roommate acts surprised if you’re ever in the room
-When asked what day it is you have no idea, but always know how long until a project is due
-You use your alarm to tell you when to go to sleep
-You know what Tacky Glue tastes like
-You avoid eating, sleeping, or going to the hospital because you need to finish a model
-All of your teachers wear black… only black…
-When asked if you like the Guggenheim you reply “Which one??
-You have an ample supply of B HB H & F and know the difference between them
-GEs feel like vacation
-You use Soda as a tool, not a treat
-You’ve never seen the other side of campus
-You’ve danced the Macarena at 3am without a single drop of alcohol in your body
-You have listened to every song on your iPod within two days
-You go to class to be marked present and then sleep until the lecture is over
-Telling your teacher your major actually gets you excused from work

-While watching movies you continuously point out famous buildings to your non-architecture major friends
