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

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
