What It Is Really Like To Go To An All-Girls School
Saint Agnes Academy

High school is a major time in anyone’s life. Like a stepping stone, high school sort of sets you up for the rest of your life. Whether it leaves you clueless or determined, high school is a confusing and difficult place. Try factoring that into an all-girls high school environment. I attended Saint Agnes Academy in Houston, Texas for all four years of high school. Through Saint Agnes, I was taught much more than just your normal high school curriculum. Many people have their own ideas of what goes on at an all-girls school. Well, I am here to tell you exactly what goes on at an all-girls school and why attending one changed my life. And to anyone who has attended an all-girls school, I hope these memories are as good to you as they are to me.

1. Shaving is a personal choice that isn’t needed at all
2. Actually, the look when you ask your friend to feel your unshaven 4-week-old legs is so much better than shaving
3. Uniforms are your life
4. Sometimes you fall down and break your leg

5. Waking up late really isn’t a big deal because it only takes you five minutes to leave the house anyway
6. Makeup is a laughable joke during the week
7. Awkward years are OK because we all had them and there are pictures to prove it

8. Brushing your hair is not needed at all
9. Skirts are somewhat knee-length but can be unzipped and pulled down for an extra three inches during skirt checks
10. Sitting un-ladylike is pretty much how you live

11. Friend groups make your life better
12. But you often find yourself friends with people that are nothing like you
13. Sometimes you just have to take a nap

14. Boys are a common topic but then again so is food
15. Theology/Religion class can either be your favorite or worst part of your day
16. Comfort bypasses style any day (Chacos, Uggs, sweatpants, etc.)

17. You wouldn’t really call yourself a feminist but you’re basically a feminist
18. Starbucks is life
19. You really find yourself and who you want to be (most of the time)

20. You laugh when your brother school says that their classes are harder
21. The only thing that travels faster than gossip is, “Bake Sale Today”
22. Speaking of food, food is your life
23. Your teachers become more of your friends and guiders than anything else

24. You’re fully taught that you can be anything you want especially because you are a girl
25. You find your friends for life (gal pals for life)

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
