6 College Struggles Only Girls Who Went To A All-Girls School Understand
Julie Perry

Being able to attend an all girls school was one of the biggest blessings in my life. But the transition from that to a huge public university was definitely a struggle but life's not easy right?

1. Realizing That Not Everyone Is Religious (or just knows about religion)

Even though I am not a practicing Catholic I went to catholic school my whole life so I know when it's Ash Wednesday. But I definitely knew I was not at my catholic high school when I said to my friends, "OMG guys its Ash Wednesday today" I can tell you I have never gotten more have never gotten more blank stares in my life. It was even better when my friend asked me "what are the ashes made of? Bodies?". Or the one night when I forcibly read the creation story to my roommate because she has never heard it before.

2. Putting Makeup on Everyday

I am a huge believer that everyone is beautiful all the time and makeup is not necessary however I do wear it often in college. Sometimes in college sleep is not your friend and sadly I don't want to look like the hobo I did in high school. The fact that I get up ever morning and put makeup on my face that I usually mess up is the worst. Looking like a hobo was where I truly thrived.

3. Picking out Clothes = Biggest Struggle of My Life

I can not be more serious when I say picking out clothes will be the death of me. I actually sit in front of my dresser and think "what the hell am I going to wear today". Being able to wake up five seconds before I left for school knowing that I will wear exactly the same ratty old uniform I've been wearing for the past four years was the best feeling in the world.

4. Boys Boys Boys


They are the MOST confusing thing on the planet and I feel those two GIFs really put my two main feelings about them together. Yes, is it the best thing to walk into a class and see a beautiful person. But then I'm just so confused by them not all I will say, but most. I would have truly appreciated a class in highschool like "How to Understand Boys 101".

5. Finding New Friends Who Love Food As Much As Me

Nick is me 90% of the time. During my time in high school if there was something we loved as much as school spirit it was our food. It was weird for me when in the I didn't have enough time for breakfast so I brought my box of cereal to my nine am and got a ton of weird stares. Like girls gotta eat what do you think I would do STARVE, your crazy. Thankfully I was able to find girls that love food (especially brunch) as much as me. Bruch people are the best people.

6. Not Having My Sisters

There is not a day that goes by where I don't miss these ladies. I am forever grateful for them and all the support they have had for me and all my sister from the past four years into the future LOVE YOU LADIES. sko dawgs #senyolo.

Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
