Signs You Were Homeschooled

Not everyone has the standard public school experience. The movies usually depict homeschooling unfavorably, casting the kids as anti-social outcasts. Many do not realize the homeschooling experience actually allows you to make lifelong friends while learning in a more flexible, stress-free setting. Children go into high school fully equipped academically and socially after their homeschooling. But then again... there are just some things that truly differentiate homeschoolers from "the normal kids".

1. You’ve been to pretty much every museum in your state.

2. Your mom found the strangest tours to go on (i.e bagpipe factory, the house of a lady who collects buttons, the house of a guy who makes boomerangs).

3.You might have been a part of a robotics team, or at least went to the competitions as a little sibling.


4. You learned how to teach yourself with friends.

5.You learned how to entertain yourself without friends.

6.You thought of public school as jail.

7. Everything was a field trip and learning experience.

8.You never knew why everyone else hated Mondays.

9.Sleepovers on school nights were a normal thing.

10.You have incredibly close friends from your homeschool group.

11.You learned how to include everyone.

12.You know not all homeschoolers are like the Duggars.


13.You are a little awkward, even when you try to keep it contained.

14. But you know you would be a completely different person if you weren't homeschooled. You are Homeschooled and proud.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
