12 Feels You Get When You Go Back To Your Old High School

College is so much better

12 Feels You Get When You Go Back To Your Old High School
Alexa DeClue

No matter the experience that you had going to high school, you are probably going to make your way back eventually once you graduate. Whether it be a teacher or to see your younger sibling participate in a school-sanctioned event, you still made your way back into the school. Here are 12 feels that you will get returning to your old high school:

1. I feel older than I should

I don't know if it's just me, but I feel like I so much taller than most of the kids there. But I also just feel so much more mature, I know it wasn't that long ago that I left but college does something to you.

2. I am shocked that one of my favorite teachers doesn't remember me

You would expect that if you were to walk into one of your favorite classrooms that your teacher would remember you. I get a little choked up at first and then remember that they have how many students a year?

3. The school has already remodeled

How did this happen? I was only gone for a short time and you've gone and changed everything. Like, where did you get all the money from to fund said renovations?

4. Students give me strange looks

I have to do a double take and try not to say anything. I used to walk these halls long before you did and I don't need those looks. But then again, why do I care? I am a college student now, so jokes on you.

5. Did I use to act so childish?

I internally roll my eyes just at the sight of some of these high schoolers. I just stand there praying to myself that I never acted like this while I was in high school.

6. The same cliques still exist

As much as I wish this idea would go out the door, cliques are as present as ever. And just like the movie, the mean girls run the school. Sigh...

7. I remembered the forgotten time when I dressed up every single day

Okay, this is where I really went wrong in high school. I wasted so much time making sure I looked good to go to school. I must have been entirely boy crazy because I could care less now. Why not just strive for comfort in all aspects of life?

8. How did I get myself up this early every day?

Somehow I made it to school every day before 7:38 am and now I am internally throwing up. That sounds like a death sentence and I thank my lucky stars that I don't have to do that anymore.

9. My favorite teacher remembers me just as if I left yesterday.

I would just like to thank this teacher for making things a little bit better during my school day. This is the type of teacher that has your back all the time and I don't know what I would do without them.

10. How do the teachers put up with the sass every day?

I don't know how teachers don't murder students. They put up so much sass and still keep their cool. That has to be a superpower.

11. Did I make my time last in these halls?

Thinking back on it, there was probably more that I could have done during high school. But I am always going to have that feeling of wanting to do more.

12. I am so glad I am not in high school anymore

College is so much better. High school was something, but whatever it was it wasn't as good as whatever I am experiencing in college. So peace out high schoolers, I just came to see one teacher and now I am out.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
