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.

Giphy

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. 

Giphy

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. 

Giphy

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. 

Giphy

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. 

Giphy

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. 

Giphy

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. 

Giphy

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.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
