8 Things You Know If You Went To An All-Girls High School

If you went to an all-girls school, your experience is something you will never forget. You are part of a sisterhood. I went to an all-girls school here in San Diego, and it was crazy and memorable at the same time.

1. You had to wear uniform every single day.

I personally liked wearing a uniform because then you didn't have to freak out about what to wear each day. You just pick out a polo shirt and a skirt, and you're good to go. My school wasn't very strict on the uniform. We were allowed to wear Converse or Vans as long as they were black. Once you were a senior, you were allowed to wear white shoes. Also, we had a skirt length regulation, but most girls didn't follow it. We would just pull it down if a teacher passed by.

2. Since we had to wear a uniform, we would go crazy if it was "Free Dress" day.

Okay, maybe we wouldn't dress up as a princess like Mia Thermopolis but we still got excited if we could wear regular clothes. The thought of wearing jeans to school was amazing.

3. Feminism was somehow taught in every class you took. 

Every single class I took had feminism aspects to it. Every single class—English, history, science and even math. In my language class, I learned about girl power. It was something I had to get used to.

4. We would go crazy if we saw a guy on campus. 

We were basically boy deprived. Boys were an extinct species to us. If we saw a guy on campus, we would obsess and go crazy. If a guy was on campus to ask out a girl out for prom, we would cry about how cute it was.

5. Talking about boys, we had crushes on our guy professors. 

Everybody had a crush on the guy professors because they were the only guys on campus. Some of them were cute. It's what we do at an all-girls school.

6. There was always girls who liked girls. 

When you go to an all-girls school, girls are going to like girls. It can be kinda weird if you're not used to it, but by your senior year it becomes pretty normal to see on campus.

7. The same songs were always played during pep rallies. 

These songs never got tiring. They would always play Disney songs, typical girl songs or any song that would make us stand up and dance, especially High School Musical songs.

8. Finally, the girls you met were always going to be there for you. It's a sisterhood. 

During my four years of high school, there was always a group of girls who were there for me. Sometimes, you don't keep in touch with all your friends from high school. Maybe a couple of girls is all you need. They are basically your sisters, and they will be with you at your marriage. You might not go to the same university, but they will be there for you.

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. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"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?
