7 Things That Matter in High School That Mean Nothing Later
Jessica Handy

Everyone who says that High School will be the best time of your life, is lying. If High School is or was the best time of your life, you're lame. The best days of your life should be your wedding day or the birth of your children, not the days you spent in High School. There is so much more after High School. The things you think that matter in High School are going to mean nothing later.

1. The Rumors

In High School everyone spreads rumors like wildfire. You've probably tried to stop them, correct them and lost sleep over them. Well don't because in a few years from now - THEY WON'T MATTER. Nobody will remember them. The people that start them just want to get a reaction out of you. So just ignore it.

2. Your "Clique"

Sure you have a "clique" at the start of High School, It's made up with a group of friends that usually talk about each other behind each others back. By the time you graduate High School the "clique" you had will be broken up and you'll only have a couple friends. If you lose friends, yeah it might hurt at the time, but honestly if they were meant to be your friend wouldn't they still be there? You gain some and you lose some.

3. Having The Best Outfit

Some people think having the best outfit is everything, but it's really not. If you want to dress up every day do it. If you want to wear sweat pants everyday do it. Who cares, honestly you don't have to wear brand name clothes. It doesn't matter. By the time we all get to college most of us will be going to Walmart to buy a cheap t-shirt and a pair of sweatpants. Nobody will remember you by what you wore.

4. What You Look Like

In High School we are all going through puberty. We are going to have a pimple here and there. It's a part of going through puberty. Some days we are to lazy to do anything to our hair, sure people might stare at you for having wild hair. You just have to embrace it. Us girls don't always feel like doing our makeup, boys just don't understand how much effort it takes. If you don't want to wear makeup then don't. You don't have anyone to impress.

5. The People Who Don't Like You

Honest to God, if someone doesn't like you, who cares. It does not matter. Just move on with your life, it's their problem not yours. Don't trip about it. Simple as that. You're always going to have people that won't like you even after High School. It's because they are jealous of you.

6. What You Drive

A car is a car. As long as it gets you around that's all that matters. When you go to college you will be walking around campus anyways so it won't matter who has their license and who doesn't.

7. How "Popular" You Were

Whatever it is that people think of you in High School, will not matter after you graduate. You can be the most popular person in High School and then go off to college and when your name gets brought up everyone will say "who's that?" When you go off to college, It's going to be different. Your not always going to be popular. You just have to except it.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
