The title is not very nice, but it will do. This article explains how to become (or try to become) and nerd and act like a genius. The classic type.
NOTE: What this article will tell you about "nerds" is the socially acceptable version. If you are already a real nerd, you do not need this article, and you may despise it. Real nerdiness/genius denotes an unusually high IQ as well as a diverse vocabulary and general intelligence. They are usually socially-unaccepted, and plainly said: DO NOT CARE ABOUT OTHERS' OPINIONS ON WHAT YOU DO. Therefore, the fact that you are reading this means you are and will not be a nerd.
1
Choose your everyday clothes. Being a nerd doesn't mean you wear braces and glasses. Wear a hot outfit. And wear an awsome pair of eyeglasses, without frame. Enjoy your life. But remember, not to wear nail polish and makeup.Look naturally beautiful. Have confidence in your self. If someone ask you a question, solve it quickly. And for THE BULLIES, Have a little attitude. Be soft to the good and coarse to the bad.
- Do not read magazines what others read. Read magazines of your choice. Take interest in maths and science. Have a little attitude in your intelligence. Be rude to those BULLIES who think themselves to cool. Tell them that they are ugly and foolish.
-
3Write fast and neat when taking notes or anything. But you should also be able to write neatly in both cursive and print also.
-
4Try to impress your opposite gender. br>
-
5It is not a good idea to like sports, although you still can be athletic. If you do watch sports, obnoxiously shout good advice to the players.
-
6Do not watch television shows such as "CSI" or "Dancing with the Stars".Some good television watching for nerds is "PBS Create" or the Discovery Channel.
-
7Have, at the least, one complete encyclopedia set in you house. Put it in a place where everybody can see it. If you want it to really be convincing, make a whole bunch of the pages dog-eared and marked up so it looks like it is read constantly.
-
8Your room should be slightly messy, but not with toys and video game systems. It should have crinkled-up papers with writing on them. And books, books, books. Read non-fiction books about history and science, and some biographies about interesting people, such as Valentina Tereshkova (the first Russian woman in space).
- The books do not have to be all nonfiction, as some fictional works greatly increase vocabulary. All books should be welcome because there are a lot of books excluded if you only read or own nonfiction books. Just make sure to read the nonfiction and fiction equally.
-
9Increase your vocabulary, and use it! Don't get wordy, but substitute little words (jumped, typed) for better ones (lunged, hammered the keyboard frenziedly). Make sure you only use your brainy words when it is appropriate, or you'll look like a show off (and therefore a loser; not good). Make sure there's someone around to appreciate your vocabulary.
-
10Ponder everything. If at any point you're not pondering, you need to try harder. Question yourself first and the world around you. Don't be afraid to ask others for their answer. Be ready to accept it and even adopt it if it's better than yours.
-
11Learn your proper nerd habits. For example, a squeaky voice will always do. In math class, whenever a challenging problem is asked by the teacher, rivet your eyes (as large as possible) on the calculator, while clutching the device as close to you as you can manage, and press the keys non-stop. Panting and sweating is fine. If in English class you are called to write an essay, always tap the edge of your writing utensil on your head. No licking and sucking. Quite elementary, really.
-
12Join the nerd industry! Nerds can often make a lot of money by tutoring.
-
13Study math by night to get in advanced math classes.
-
14Accumulate a larger vocabulary. Using a S.A.T vocabulary list is really good.
-
15Read ahead in every literature book.
-
16How high you put your bag depends on the school you're on and even the country. If low hanging bags are fashion, put it up as high as possible.Ad
Tips
- The whole point of being "N.E.R.D." is to DO NOT CARE HOW PEOPLE THINK OF YOU AND DO YOUR THING WITH SCHOOLWORK.
- To be a nerd, you have to be very observant, as to catch faulty logic and other things similar to that.
- ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS carry around a strap, over the shoulder bag (the ones they carry laptops with) ALWAYS; it finishes the look.
- When walking, carry around a book.
- Only be obnoxious at school or work. It is not a good idea to point out grammar mistakes at a so-called grocery store conversation, although point out faulty logic all the time.
- Always carry one pen and one pencil in your shirt pocket. The pencil should always be mechanical, as a normal "graphite" pencil is not nerdy.
- Read, read, read. This will help you become a genius-type person and a nerd.
- Don't generalize nerds as snobby people who correct others.
- Do not care what everybody thinks, be yourself, and do what you want; they do NOT control you, you do.
- If wearing a cap, wear funny beanies, or Eskimo hats.

Warnings
- If being a nerd is not you, don't do it! There is nothing worse than a person who is not him/herself.
- Don't be too old-fashioned. Tights are soooo gone. Please, "groovy" is unacceptable everywhere nowadays, especially to nerds.
- Not everyone in your life will relish your nerdiness. Some may even taunt, boo, or try to convince you that no, you have it wrong — nerds actually are not cool. Whatever you do, do not listen to these idiots.
- Don't be a know-it-all all the time! If you have to point out a mistake or a faulty logic, do it politely and discretely.
- If you plan on calling yourself a sci-fi nerd, then you must explore the world beyond Star Wars, Buffy, or The Matrix. As for Star Trek, make sure you do your homework on the original series. You had also better brush up on your Doctor Who (original series), Red Dwarf, Robotech, Space 1999, Blake's Seven and other lesser known sci-fi classics that are too good for big budget Hollywood butchering. *Another good one is Fantastic Voyage. Watch the classic twilight zone episones and the old outer limits. You should learn to appreciate good sci-fi, both past and present, regardless of what could be admittedly said of some of their production values. Being too young to remember these titles is never an excuse; that's why they're called classics, right? Battlestar Galactica and Firefly and both excellent reasonably current sci-fi shows (Firefly is off-air).
- Nerds are usually very unsocial. Lack of eye-contact and shoe-shopping-talk may be convincing.
- If you want to be a computer nerd, don't use Internet Explorer. It is too mainstream, true nerds resent that. Good web browsers are Firefox and Google Chrome. Never refer to either web browser by their full name, IE FF and GC are the popular acronyms for the three.
- If you constantly bully or mock someone who is less clever than you, they could get their friends to harass you or bully back.
- Nerds may have a very different background from others. The reason why some people can change into a nerd is because of the hope to gain something, or due to their psychological mental side-effects.
- Don't become so consumed with your obsession that you lose sight of reality. That's when you become a loser/social outcast and if you have become that lame then you have lost sight of your true nerddom.
Things You'll Need
- A huge bulging Spiderman backpack. If you're too lazy to lug around the essences of a true nerd, then press cotton or whatever into your pack. The bigger the more impressive. Better yet, if anyone asks what's in there, bring out unnecessary item after unnecessary item (you know, birdhouse complete with food) and show them eagerly.
- Hair tie. For girls, this is quintessential when working in the science lab (especially when using a flame or chemicals) and when reading your below mentioned tome.
- Tome. May be spiritual, psychological, mental, whatever. Favorites include Sigmund Freud, the Bible, Einstein, and Darwin’s Origin of the Species. For “nerds in denial”, lighter reading may be used—namely a magazine, such as Scientific American, Astronomy Today, Windows Vista Magazine, or The Smithsonian.
- Pens. At least five are needed. You could also keep your pens in the spiral of a spiral-bound notebook, or perhaps one tucked behind your ear and the rest in a discreet pencil bag. For girls with long hair, you can also use a pen as a hair-stick, instant accessibility.
- The newest technology. Er, as in super calculators. Brag about these devices then say that you don't need them.
- A club for Dungeons And Dragons (or your favorite RPG)
