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.

25 Thoughts Everyone Has When Registering For Classes

May the odds be ever in your favor.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

Western New England University

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions.

Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
