1. My friends, obviously.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I haven't really gotten to see my friends. I miss eating lunch with them every day and making jokes in classes. Aside from a Krispy Kreme trip to get free donuts with some friends, I haven't left the house much either.
2. Lunches
Yes, the food could be a bit sketchy at times, but I still miss the routine. Chicken Patty Wednesdays were more reliable than anything else at school. The food was consistently okay. Now that school isn't in session, my eating habits have gotten all kinds of messed up.
3. Band
I love music so much, so not being in band class every other day is tough. I miss all the bus rides and funny memories, which are included in the coveted "funny folder" that gets passed down every time the holder graduates.
4. Teachers
I know, I know. Teachers are terrible and give out homework and all that, but I had several teachers that were there for me when my own friends weren't. I had about three teachers that I could regularly talk with to have mini therapy sessions.
5. Sporting Events
Now, coming from a small town, we absolutely love to go to sporting events to support our players. I have done many sports over the years, but even when I'm not participating on the court or field, there is a certain energy that you can feel when the crowd truly supports the players.
Now, those are the top 5 things that I missed from high school, but I look forward to making new friends and memories as I move on to the next phase of my life.
