The Textbook Trap: Physics Edition
Mastering Serway's textbook only to discover the Physics Olympiad is a whole different beast? Classic overconfidence! It's like training for the Olympics by walking up stairs and then asking for "more challenging exercises." The gap between textbook physics and competition physics is roughly equivalent to the gap between a kiddie pool and the Mariana Trench. But hey, at least you've got that textbook swagger before reality hits harder than a neutron star collision!

Knight In Shining Anxiety
You spend hours practicing answers about your greatest weaknesses and career goals, armored up like a medieval knight ready for battle. Then BAM! They hit you with "how do you handle stress?" and suddenly your brain malfunctions faster than a calculator dividing by zero. The irony? You're literally experiencing maximum stress while trying to explain how well you handle it! Nothing says "I'm totally calm under pressure" like internally screaming in a suit while your fight-or-flight response considers the flight option!

What Course Would This Be?
Ever confidently walked into an exam thinking you've got this, only to get absolutely demolished? That's what this meme captures perfectly! The knight getting impaled represents that moment when reality strikes and you realize all your studying was for a completely different battle. It's like preparing for a gentle jog and showing up to the Olympic 400m hurdles! This is basically every physics final where you studied kinematics but the test is all quantum mechanics. Your confidence gets skewered faster than this poor knight! The academic equivalent of bringing a calculator to a sword fight!
