Some things just stay in high school

5 Things That Are Way Too High School as Told By Mean Girls

High school. We've all been there. Some of us never left there. After going back to my high school after being in college for two months, there are some things that definitely stay in high school. Here's what I noticed, with help from the popular movie, Mean Girls.

1. Secret Make-Out Sessions

In high school, it seems like all adults are against teenage sex, or affection at all, really. This causes teenagers to sneak around and "do stuff" in crevices in the hallways, or as I saw this weekend, in dark ally ways where they think no one will find them. In college, couples are pretty open about their relationships... Probably because there are no adults telling them it's bad.

2. The Popular Group

The popular group does vanish in college. There isn't any hierarchy, and no one really cares what anyone else thinks about them. There's no "Queen Bee" and no one feels the need to prove themselves as better than anyone else. It's extremely refreshing, trust me.

3. Universal Slut Shaming

If I had a dollar for every time I heard a girl call another girl a slut or a whore in high school, I would probably have more money than Bill Gates. On the other hand, if I had a dollar for every time I heard someone get called a slut in college, I would be living in a card board box. High school girls are mean, end of story. Thankfully, we're a little less mean after graduation.

4. Expectations that you have to be a 10/10 every day

You wore sweat pants to class every day this week? Awesome! So did everyone else!

5. Insane rumors that couldn't possibly be true

We've all had a really bad rumor spread about us in high school, to the point where everyone knew it and everyone was staring at you, and even worse, they actually believed it. Thank goodness that's over.

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.
