What I Will Miss Most About High School

Most seniors cannot wait to leave high school. I can say I was definitely one of them. I had a classic case of "senioritis," and kind of took for granted all of the wonderful things high school has to offer. Now less than three weeks out from moving into college, I am realizing how much I will truly miss high school. There are so many things that I will miss, so here is a few of them:

1. Dances

I absolutely loved going to prom and homecoming. There is nothing better than getting dressed up and spending the night dancing away with your friends. School dances have given me some of the best memories in my High School experience. I will definitely miss all of he wonderful things that school dances have to offer.

2. Other students/ Classmates

As weird as this seems I'm going to miss mostly everyone that I went to school with for one reason or another. Even though I went to a very small school I was not close with everybody, but I will miss getting to see people that I would see everyday or share a class with.

3. Teachers/ Staff

With a graduating class of 17, you become close with your teachers. It's so nice to have teachers that actually care about you especially when you do not understand something they are teaching in class. Its also nice to have a teacher that you can talk to about anything even if it has to do nothing to do with school. And my teachers were the BEST whether they gave encouraging words or fun conversations, I will definitely miss all of my teachers I had throughout high school.

4. Normalcy

I think this is probably the biggest thing that I will miss about high school. Seeing all of the people I went to high school with start summer practices, sports pictures, and plan things for the school year is just so weird when you are not apart of it anymore. It is almost sad to think that I will never get to experience that again. On the flip side, it is exciting because I am going to be starting a new chapter of my life. In a few weeks I will have to find a new sense of normalcy and moved forward with exciting new life.

Living Away From Home, As Described By 'Friends'

For better or for worse

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

2. Seriously, you only ask once.

3. When you do muster up the courage to ask your parents for something, you creep around and wait until they’re in a good mood.

4. Before you get that final yes, you have to go through an interview.

5. If you ever got “the eye,” you knew you were screwed.

6. You were always the first to leave your group of friends when hanging out.

7. If you say you will be home at a certain time, you better be home at that time.

8. Seeing a missed call from your parents sends fear and horror through your veins.

9. If relatives are coming over to the house, your room better be clean.

10. You are careful about what jokes you share with your parents.

11. "You’re not an adult until you turn 18! You can do whatever you want then!"

12. If plans change while you’re out, you better text or call.

No, really. I'm not mad. Just hungry.

1. You’re tired of people asking you if you know what “RBF” stands for every time you zone out.

2. You’re constantly using the excuse, “I’m just tired” when people ask you if you’re mad.

3. Or “I’m just thinking.”

4. In fact, you’re rarely ever actually mad.

5. But when you are, people usually can’t tell.

6. You find other people with RBF’s and have to convince yourself that you don’t look like them.

7. You constantly remind yourself, “At least I’m not a psycho.”

Some of your best ideas come through boredom.

1. If the professor is late by one minute, I'm leaving.

2. Oh crap, that's due TODAY?!

3. Can I nap in here?

4. I wonder what they're serving at the cafeteria.

5. How much does my teacher even get paid?

6. How much will I get paid?

7. This is the longest 50 minutes of my life.

8. Maybe if I call mom, she'll give me money.

9. How much do street performers make anyway?

10. Why am I here? I could be a street performer by now.

11. Oh right, I'm not talented.
