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

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.

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.
