17 Things I WON'T Miss About High School

To some people, your 4 years of high school are the best 4 years of your life. However, for most people, high school is just the beginning of their life, and definitely not the best 4 years. While there are many things I will miss about high school, such as some teachers, show choir, my friends and Freda, the best janitor in the history of janitors, there are many things I will not miss.

1. The school lunches

While I'll miss 'Chicken Finger Wednesday' and 'cheese stick day,' I definitely won't miss the wheat bread and spaghetti day.

2. The early mornings

Math at 9:00 o'clock in the morning is much better than anything at 7:30.

3. The freshman

This speaks for itself.

4. The one couple taking up the whole hallway because they HAVE to hold hands

When you have 120 seconds to get to class and a couple is taking up both sides of the hallways because they have to hold hands, I make no apologies for knocking them over.

5. The teacher that won't let you do work for another class, even though you have nothing to do for their class

6. The wifi

Because who loves wifi that has Snapchat blocked?

7. Class meetings

Even though we know we all won't agree on the same thing, certain people will fight the ear death until they get their way.

8. Waiting in line for the microwave

Don't be that girl that cooks something for 10 minutes.

9. The vending machines only having healthy foods and drinks.

Thanks, Michelle Obama.

10. The vending machines being locked until 8:30 and then again at 11.

Running late and forget breakfast? Sorry, no whole grain pop tarts for you.

11. The vending machines taking your money.

Hope you brought more than $1.

12. Spending 4 years trying to find a quiet place to go during a break, then people finding your quiet place.

You finally find your quiet place away from everyone, then 1 person finds it and it's no longer a quiet place. It's a very sad day.

13. School Bathrooms

Always go to the tower. no matter what you do.

14. The parking

Don't be late or you will lose your unofficial parking spot.

15. Weather Drills

Butt cracks. Enough said.

16. The drama

Because there is nothing worse than a high school girl. Maybe a middle school girl, but that's it.

17. The gum infested desks

Never, ever, ever cross your legs. Ever.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
