...you don't sleep for a week because you're re-reading the Harry potter series and trying to do homework at the same time.(come on, even though you've read it and you know what happens next, you just can't resist....)

...you get soooo into LOTR that when you finally do fall asleep, its because you're at the council of elrond scene(soooooooooooo boring!!!)

...you start thinking you're school is called "Hogwarts".

...you belive that the main character is yourself.
