How to Become a Nerd in 10 days
May the Force be with you
Do you want to be a nerd and be welcomed into the inner circle of nerd subculture? It’s never too late. Buckle up and follow these steps to blend into the community.
Be curious, not judgmental
Don’t assume anything. You don’t have enough knowledge to judge. First, investigate and learn; then pass a verdict. Generally speaking, nerds are lifelong learners, always hungry for new information. They seize every opportunity to learn something different. If you want to be a nerd, start by becoming a bookworm. Read every book you can find in the public library, watch documentaries about science and history, observe the world around you, and never stop asking questions and searching for answers.
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
It’s no surprise that nerds are naturals with everything computer-related — whether it’s software, hardware, or video games, they’ve got it covered. Installing a program or printer, writing code, managing software applications, customizing operating systems, and running backups is a piece of cake for them. Nerds love exploring new technology, which is why they have it all figured out and are ready to face any computer challenge that comes their way. If you want to be a nerd, get to know your PC inside and out. That way, when someone asks you what kind of computer you have, you won’t just answer ‘a white one.’
One Ring to bring them all
Nerds have common preferences within the entertainment system, often engaging themselves in complex, multi-level fictional universes where superheroes or weird creatures fight for justice. They are typically drawn to stories that embody the famous ‘Three Musketeers’ motto of ‘All for one and one for all’, especially when a group of apparently weak characters triumphs over invincible evil. If you are unfamiliar with Tolkien and haven’t read ‘The Lord of the Rings’ trilogy, that’s where you should start — to at least be able to participate in conversations when you hang out with fellow nerds. Otherwise, you shall not pass!
You are about to jibber-jabber about jibber-jabber
Every nerd is extraordinarily good at one particular topic. It means they study this topic thoroughly and amass extensive knowledge regarding it. They will definitely dazzle you with their level of expertise on the subject. So, if you want to be a nerd, master a topic and share your knowledge with the rest of your peers.
Weird is all I got, that and my sweet style
Nerds have their own style in clothing. They prefer to highlight the nerd subculture in their outfits. But most importantly, it should be a unique style that lets their true colors shine through. Whether it’s a t-shirt or a bow tie, it all revolves around your personality and how you present yourself to the world. Just don’t be another brick in the wall; swim against the tide and avoid conforming to what society dictates.
Hop, you little plumber! Hop, hop, hop!
Nerds have been passionate about computer games since the first ones hit the stores. They are big fans of almost all genres, especially strategies, simulations, and quests. These video games allow them to establish their own order and shape the virtual world according to their rules, emphasizing the balance between action and strategic planning. Moreover, ultimate success often depends on outsmarting digital opponents and winning battles against artificial intelligence. To truly dive deeply into nerd subculture, it’s essential to explore not only the latest video games but also the classics. Make sure you are capable of guiding that little plumber to reach the castle and rescue the princess before the game is over.
