5 Signs That You Are Still Stuck In High School
Alexa O'Hanna

As much as college is easily the best time of your life, there are always those times where you miss the simplicity of high school - especially when you are stressed out during finals week. However, there is a significant difference between missing it and being stuck in high school.

1. You come home from school almost every weekend.

It's one thing if you live close to home or commute, but if you are making a three or four hour journey home...why?

2. You would much rather prefer to hang out with your high school squad than your college friends.

Old friends or new friends, you love them all. In this case, you feel that no one will ever compare to your high school clique. Everyone you met in college is an acquaintance, and may never meet your friendship expectations.

3. You attend every event held at your high school.

Football games, musicals, basketball games, dance events, Relay for Life, you name it, you're there. Teachers and students forgot that you ever graduated and you still get all of the student discounts on the tickets. Sometimes, you even sit in the student section.

4. You live for social media drama from current high school students.

Whether it is between your rival high school during football season or petty relationship drama, you are following the savage comments as each one is posted, and of course, maybe even supporting each post with a 'like' or two. Depending on the severity of your "stuck in high school syndrome," you may even get involved with the Twitter drama...let's hope that you don't though.

5. During the season of the sports that you were involved in, you attend every single practice.

It's like you never left. The only difference is that this year, they might as well pay you as much as they pay the coach because you basically act like one.


There is also a lesser version of the "stuck in high school syndrome" that almost everyone experiences once in a blue moon: during the season of whatever you were most passionate about in high school, you can't help to reminisce and vicariously live through your friends that are still current high school students. You would do anything to play in one last game, or perform in one last show with your pals. You try to explain to your college besties about whatever you were involved in, but they are just outright confused as to why you feel the way that you do. When you talk too much about the topic, they often just tell you to shut up. Regardless, college is another stepping stone in your life...give it a year or two, and you'll move on from your high school antics!

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.
