A couple of weeks ago, I finally graduated high school, bringing that awful, crazy, yet fun chapter of life to a close. Like most recent graduates, I’m really looking forward to what the future holds for me in these next few years in college. Yet, at the same time it’s hard not to look back upon some of the stupid and cringe-worthy moments all my peers and I had faced in these past 4 years. So I created a list of 5 stupid things that many high school students live and learn from.

1. Spending every cent you make.

Junior and Senior year of high school is usually when most students decide that they need to get a job because some of the things that they want are not going to be paid for by their parents anymore. Now don’t get me wrong, a good amount of my friends were smart from the beginning and constantly saved their money for their future. But most of my friends and I spent all of our money on food, clothes and going out and doing things, and then ran out of money before our next paycheck and are stuck until the next payday. Save, save, save.

2. Boy/ Girl crazy.

It stinks not having a significant other when it seems like EVERYONE else has someone, but it’s not the end of the world. Its better not to wallow for hours about being "forever alone". There’s no need to be over dramatic. We get it, and we’ve heard you complain about it before.

3. Becoming a slacker.

Senioritis is a well-known and highly contagious illness that we all fall prey to. Once you’re a second semester senior, grades don’t matter anymore, right? You still have to send in your final transcripts to wherever you are going for school, and they do look at them. For most, grades don’t drop that much your last semester of high school, but some do fall off the deep-end and are going to have to make up for it in one way or another. Summer school- eek!

4. Hating someone because your friends hate them.

Because high school can be very dramatic, there may be some people that you know that aren’t your friends’ favorite and whom they may dislike. And while its good to have your friend’s back and stick with them, that doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to hate the people they hate. What has that person done to you personally for you to hate them? For all you know they could be nice, and you can maybe be their friend too. After all, all your friends don’t all have to be friends with each other.

5. Doing things because other people are doing them.

Being a teenager is all about finding out who you are as a person. And because of that there’s no need to feel “peer pressure” to do anything that you don’t want to. I know its cliché, but it is important for you to do you, and not care what others think.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
