25 Signs You Went To An All-Girls Private School

Going to an all-girls school was confusing and amazing all at the same time, with the uniforms, the no boys and the unbelievable girls that you spend four years with.

1. You never understood how people in public school didn't know EVERYONE in their class.

How do you go around not saying hi to everyone as you walk down the hall?!

2. You all accepted the fact that you cant make Bermuda shorts and polos cute.

3. Which led to a ridiculous amount of matching with other girls.

4. You gave up trying to look presentable after freshman year.

There came a point in time that make-up wasn't worth it and trying to actually match your pants to your polo was too time consuming and sleeping in was 100% more satisfying than doing your hair every morning. Like who are you going to impress, the other girls?

5. Dances were eye-opening because you realized that everyone could actually look like girls.

6. Your best friend's houses varied from 10 minutes, 30 minutes or an hour away.

Planning things in advanced as pivotal, because you never knew when you would be able to hang out outside of school again.

7. Your whole school kept J. Crew, the Gap, and Sperry in business.

When all you can wear are Bermuda shorts, cardigans, and khakis there aren't many options.

8. Wearing your uniform outside of school was dangerous because every public school hated you.

9. If some drama happened on Monday, everybody knew by Tuesday.

10. Including the teachers.

11. Even if you've graduated, you still hear about high school drama.

12. Seeing boys from public school with facial hair was like seeing grown men walking around.

13. You still hate your old rival private school (and always will).

14. There were always the girls that forgot about the scheduled dress-down days that everyone felt bad for.

15. Your classes were so small that once you got to college, you felt lost.

16. You also had no idea what to wear once you got to college.

Wait, you mean that you have to plan your OWN outfits!?

17. The highlight of graduating was being able to follow your teachers on social media.

We bothered them for years about following us and the answer was ALWAYS the same, "once you graduate,", so once those caps were thrown into the air that follow button was pushed.

18. Seeing a boy was like seeing an alien for the first time.

19. "Are you all lesbian?"

20. Everyone knew each other since kindergarten.

21. The two months before homecoming the most social time of the year (date time).

22. Football games were the highlight of the year because you actually got to hang out with boys and have a social life.

23. Your high school will ALWAYS be a part of you.

24. Graduation was bittersweet because you knew it was the last time that your whole class would be together.

25. You hated it in the moment, but high school was some of the best moments of your life.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.
