What Going To An All Girls School Is Really Like

No Boys, No Problems

What Going To An All Girls School Is Really Like
Gaby Ruiz

Going to an all-girls high school changed my life for the better. It taught me to stand up for what I believe in, never be embarrassed to cry in public and always break out some dance moves to relieve some stress. When the average person thinks of high school, they think of football games, prom, being in a classroom with their crush and all the effort that went into picking a new outfit every day. But when I think of high school, it's just a little different...here's what I think of:

1. Waking up 15 minutes before you have to be out the door

2. Never brushing your hair, ever

3. Someone always crying for no reason

4. Baking for your friends birthday

5. Mass uniforms being the most dressed up you'll get all week

6. Rolling your skirt

7. Having a tradition for everything

8. Screaming the Alma mater just because

9. Getting the "So, how do you meet boys?" question

10. Discussing anything and everything in public

11. Shaving once a month

12. Being openly weird in class

13. Knowing too many bonding games

14. Everyone knowing everything about one another

15. Crying at the thought of having boys in your class again

16. Borrowing clothes for every event

17. Having a sisterhood that will last you a lifetime

Going to an all-girls high school is one of the most unique experiences you could ever have. Not only are you constantly surrounded by laughs and love, you share a sense of unity and friendship with those girls that will last for the rest of your life. No matter it be with traditions, things you've learned in and out of the classroom or simply your class ring, these experiences are one of a kind. I loved my all girls school and would not have wanted my high school experience to be any different.

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!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
