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

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.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
