You Went To An All-Girl School If Any Of These 32 Moments Sound Familiar
Sofia Corrado

1. Your most difficult decision in the morning was which color kilt to put on and if your hair was going in a ponytail or a bun

2. There was never avoiding everyone dressing almost completely the same.

3. Trying to cheat the dress code

You tried all the loopholes to get around the dress code. From rolling skirts to wearing sneakers, to illegal sweatshirts and leggings you would dash around the halls hoping to not run into your Dean.

4. You have an abundance of sports bras and spandex shorts from wearing them under your uniform skirt

5. But, you didn't really care how you looked, because hey, there were no boys. Who cares!

6. You thought it was perfectly acceptable to change in the middle of the hallway, and it totally was.

7. Senior privileges were things like wearing Christmas socks and having your own special sweater, and dressing up for Halloween

8. The winter time meant that no one shaved their legs

9. And when someone finally did they would go around all day asking everyone to feel how nice they were

10. You knew everyone in your class... which wasn't too hard when there were only 67 of you

11. You got used to being referred to as “ladies” all the time, even when you weren’t in trouble

12. You have no problem discussing your period in graphic detail

12. In fact, you’ve probably walked into a room yelling if anyone has a tampon

13. And at one point you “synced up” will all of your friends

14. Everyone treated gym class like it was the Olympics or an 80s work out video

19. You had a really close relationship with all of your teachers

20. Dances with your “brother schools” were always a HUGE deal.

21. And everyone would meet up at someone else’s house to get ready so you would be able to walk into the gym at the same time

22. You know that "leave room for the Holy Spirit" IS a real thing.

23. There was food, everywhere, like, all the time

24. In fact, you and your friends ate way more than other girls that you knew

25. And everyone took their food very seriously

26. You probably played a boy in the school play/musical

27. Spirit week was a HUGE deal

28. Everyone tried to figure out who was secretly a lesbian.

29. When someone got a boyfriend everyone knew about it immediately

30. You wore this for graduation, and no one even questioned it

31. But the best thing about going to an all-girls school was that it never occurred to you that you can't do exactly what you set your mind to.

32. The sayings are true, I didn’t meet my husband in high school but I sure as hell met my bridesmaids

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
