High School Should Not Be Your Peak
Seth Hawk/Facebook

Let's be real. There are two feelings people have towards high school. Either you liked it or you hated it. For me, I liked high school. I matured throughout those years and learned a lot about myself during those four years.

But that was not my peak.

As a matter of fact, I still believe I haven't reached my peak yet. I still have a lot of life left to live. But I digress. Certain people look back fondly on their high school years... almost too fondly. And there's nothing wrong with a little grin for something you did in high school. But if you constantly look back at high school as "the best four years of your life," then you need to realize that there are a lot of things about the real world that are leaps and bounds better than high school. Things such as starting your career, starting a family, and making your mark in this life.

But what if you thought high school was your peak? Well, it's a simple solution. Just believe that it wasn't. Because this life we all live is a life of purpose and your purpose in this life more than likely wasn't fulfilled in high school.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
