5 Types Of Texts Every High-Schooler Has Sent Or Received During The School Year

Whether it's the night before one big test or just before summer vacation comes to a grueling end, the subject of school becomes a major subject of texting on group chats, DMs or just personally on the phone. It could be the pang of panic when finding of a pop quiz, furious ranting about a teacher or just that one kid who always wants to "check" his or her homework with you. (Because obviously, they want to check a completion homework for accuracy at 11 p.m. at night). And, without a doubt, by the time May rolls around, you become a pro at answering these kinds of messages (it's usually with a read receipt). Texts about the struggles, and texts about the joys, our phones capture the busy, bustling lives of high schoolers perfectly. So for anyone who has graduated high school or is in it right now, sit back as this article walks you through the daily life as a high schooler through technology in 2017.

1. The midnight maniac

Because sometimes late at night, the kid who never does his homework always seems to want a picture of your homework. Or this could possibly be a text from a procrastinator who waits till 9 p.m. to start working. Either way, you make sure to leave them a reply, usually a read receipt.



2. Fire fingers (aka checking answers after a test with your friends)

As soon as you make it back to your desk after turning in the test, you whip out your phone from your bag and furiously start typing. Your fingers start tapping the screen at the speed of light. What could be so important you ask? It's usually the answer comparison ritual with a friend or on a group chat, where all speak of the horrors of the test. What was the answer to #4? A or B?!?! What was the formula again?!?! WHY WAS THE TEST SO CONFUSING?!?!


3. "Wait,we had homework?!?"

The title pretty much explains it. It's always that one day you decide there's no homework when all of sudden before bedtime friend texts you about the assignment. Needless to say, you either A) went to sleep hoping the homework would be magically completed by morning or B) did not, in fact, get eight hours of sleep at night.


4. Teacher rants

During your four years of high school, you're going so have many teachers. Some of which you adore, and others...not so much. Maybe it was your old boring math teacher, or it could've been the rude history teacher who would count the right answers wrong on your tests. Either way, what better way to let out all the emotions, than to just text them? 30 minutes and 10 paragraphs later, you seem to have made your point. Shout out to the friend who listens all the way through, or at least pretends to...


5. The mini celebration over a rescheduled exam

Euphoria is the best way to describe it. Shout out to the teacher who never covers all the material on time. Because thanks to them, I now have an extra time to procrast- uh I mean study.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
