10 Things No One Tells You About Going To An All Girls School
hello giggles

These days, everyone wants to know what it's like to go to an all girls school. Clearly, this is true because there is an Odyssey article written on the subject at least 45,000 times per week. But I am here to tell you the truth about going to an all-girls school. Here are 10 things everyone refuses to say about single gender education.

1. Your mascot is actually Susan B. Anthony dressed up in costume.

It is a little-known fact that all-girls high schools pay Susan B. Anthony to dress up like their school mascot.

2. No one teaches you how to correctly eat with chopsticks.

In my four years at a single-gender institution, not one person at my high school attempted to teach me how to properly use chopsticks. Kind of makes you think about all those studies claiming the “benefits” of single-gender education.

3. No one tells you that single gender education indoctrinates young women to become independent adults with jobs.

No one told me I might get a job because of my new found independence!

4. You will forget the lady's name that made your sandwiches three months after graduation.

Linda? Brenda? Mom? Not Sure!

5. You will lose 10 pounds after graduating because you will no longer be exposed to flaming hot Cheetos.

Who would have known that the cure for higher obesity rates in America is to stop eating flaming hot Cheetos! Put the bag down people! Problem solved. That’s what I call a good education.

6. Your friends were being paid the whole time, you were the only person not in on the joke.

It’s crazy that not many people know that their friends at their single-gender high school are actually aspiring actresses who are getting paid to be your friend. Where are they now? You can find out on Facebook.

7. Your teachers were holograms.

8. Your uniform is made of animal bones and soy products

Is this a big Ag conspiracy? Ever wonder why your skirt was so comfortable!? That would be the plants and animals.

9. Jesus personally pays for girls to attend all girls catholic high schools.

It is uncommon that people know about Jesus’ last words on the cross: Remember the ladies!

10. It’s the best four years of your damn life, you will never be as beautiful as you were in high school, you woman.

People will not say this out loud, but there will be nice little quiet reminders laid out for you for the rest of your life, cheers!

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
