We’ve all seen it in movies. There are the teenage girls all laying on the bed, giving each other blind makeovers and having pillow fight after pillow fight. There is the unlimited amount of junk food and facial masks that take over the night. Yes, those seem fun, but high-school sleepovers are not like that in the slightest bit…

What normally happens in high-school sleepovers is just every girl doing what they normally do with other people. First, we do not plan if we are sleeping over. When it is late or someone just does not want to go home, it is kind of a given that she’ll be sleeping over. When sleepovers actually happen, nothing exciting goes on. All that goes on is phones. Phones. Phones. And more phones. We are all on our phones with occasionally sliding in a few conversations with our friends while having a movie or Netflix show playing in the background. With this occurring during the majority of the night, it shocks us all when we look at the clock and it is almost one in the morning.

Now comes the time when we unplug and truly talk. After taking off our makeup, putting on some comfy sweatpants, and hopping into bed, we normally do not fall asleep until hours later. Whenever the lights go out, most of us actually become so talkative. This is when the “deep talks” occur. Boys, friends, drama, feelings- you name it. It’ll be brought up.

Well, there you go. The myth that all of this fun and girly things that happen at sleepovers has been crushed. What really happens is the same thing that someone could go without people sleeping at your house. It may be boring, and it may be stupid- but it sure is fun
