"Four years gone by, look back and you outta your prime." Hoodie Allen, Eighteen Cool

There I was in my dorm room on a Friday night, watching the Notebook and looking at pictures on Facebook from a high school football game when I was in my cheerleading uniform, tan, 20 pounds lighter, and laughing for a candid photo with my perfect high school boyfriend.

I told myself in high school that by now, in college, I would have attended too many fraternity formals to count and that I would have been the first freshman president of a sorority. Well, none of that has happened and all I do is eat chips and watch Law and Order, dreaming about the glory days.

So, I peaked in high school. Am I ashamed? Absolutely not. Here are a few signs that suggest you, too, peaked in high school.

1. You realize that high school football games are better than college football games. In high school, you knew the football players. About half of the school was involved on the field as a player, cheerleader, or band member, and if not, you were front row in the student section screaming for your friends.

2. When you go home for breaks, you find yourself wanting everyone to know about your small, irrelevant successes in college so at least someone thinks you are cool for hitting a bunch of frats in one night or sneaking into a bar.

3. You wish people would post in your high school class Facebook page, and feel ashamed when you are the only one who has posted in it (guilty). Come on, people, what happened to "one class, one family?"

4. You purposely listen to songs that remind you of high school (Boys of Fall) or look through Facebook pictures to make you sad and wish you could re-experience the good moments again.

5. You try to scalp tickets for your high school's graduation two years after you graduated.

6. You got voted "Most likely to be a staff member."

7. You are at college with your head on your desk and you realize that you peaked in high school and everyone else around you, at college and back home, has moved on. It's okay; when you have graduated college and you are trying to survive the real world, you realize you peaked in college.
