The Questions All Homeschoolers Get Asked
Jane Marshall

Yes, I was homeschooled my entire life. And through the years, people have asked my siblings and I the same questions that I am sure many homeschoolers have been asked.

Here are just a few:

1. "Did you get to go to school in your pajamas?"


YES....most of the time I did, anyways. I could just wake up and go straight downstairs to "go" to school.

2. "Did you ever get to see people?"


"Well, there was this one time that my mom took me to the grocery store." But really, although I did not "go" to school, there are many groups people can get involved in outside of public school such as 4-H, boy scouts, girl scouts, and other community groups.

3. "Do you wish you had gone to public school?"


Hmmm, I have been asked this many times. Sometimes I think maybe just to get the experience, but I guess I was homeschooled for a reason, so I think I will stick with "no" for this question.

4. "Do you feel like you missed out?"

Did my siblings and I miss out on a few opportunities that public school kids have? Sure! But we also got opportunities that public school kids missed out on such as getting done with school early in the day or doubling up on lessons one day so we can take an extra field trip the next day. Yayyyy!

5. "So, you could wake up when you wanted to?"

I could wake up late, but I normally didn't since it was to my benefit to wake up early. The earlier I woke up, the earlier I got done.

6. "Did you go to prom in your living room?" (laughing while asking)

Ha ha ha ha. No.

Would I have liked public school? Maybe or maybe not. My homeschool education came with its challenges, but I do not think I or my siblings would trade it for the world.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. 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.
