You Might Be A Teacher's Kid If...
www.huffingtonpost.ca

As the daughter of a small town kindergarten teacher, you have a unique school experience. You know the ins and outs of the school system and get a different view of the struggle that is teaching.

The few, the proud, the teacher's kids. Here are 14 signs you might be a teacher's kid.

You might be a teacher's kid if...

1. You Arrive Early and Leave Late.

No sleeping in! You are always the first one at school and last to leave because your mom is your ride, and she has to be there.

2. Your Homework Was Done At School.

You never had "homework" because you did your homework sitting in your parent's classroom after school.

3. You Knew How To Operate The Laminator, Copier, and Die Cut Machines at an Early Age.

From the time your parent could trust you, you were laminating, die cutting, and making copies almost daily.

4. Your Mom Knew All The Gossip

She might never reveal her sources, but she always knew who Suzie was dating and what Marco tweeted during 3rd hour.

5. Your Mom Always Knew When You Were In Trouble Before You Could Even Tell Her.

My sister is a prime example of this. One day a teacher sent her out into the hall and my mom heard about it within what seemed like minutes. You could never get away with anything.

6.You Couldn't Slack On Any Project, EVER.

Your 1st grade leaf project was laminated and in pristine condition. Your projects always had die cut shapes and were perfectly painted. You couldn't slack if you tried.

7. People Thought You Had It Easy.

Actually this is a complete lie. Teacher's kids have so much more pressure to succeed and be good students. All eyes are on you. Your actions also reflected on your mom. And you didn't want to disappoint her.

8. You Can't Go to Wal-Mart With Your Mother

She will have to stop to talk to parents, current students, previous students, and other friends she's picked up along the way. You just need shampoo? Plan for a two hour trip.

9. You Scored All The Teacher Gifts She Didn't Want

Candles, candy, stuffed animals, and other odds and ends. My personal favorite: Starbucks gift cards.

10. People Know You As, "Mrs. Whoever's Daughter."

"Oh! You're Mrs. Schooley's daughter!" "Yes...and you are?"

Story. Of. My. Life.

11. You Know Other Teachers On A Personal Level.

You're basically BFF's with all the teachers. You know them by their first names and can ask about their families.

12. The Lessons Didn't Stop At Home.

You never really stopped learning. You were always being taught something, whether it was an educational lesson, or a life lesson.

13. You Know How To Set Up A Classroom.

You've helped set up your mom's enough times, you basically have it down to a science. The desks only fit one way, these borders go on this wall, and the ticket chart goes on the closet door.

14. You Feel A Special Connection To Other Teacher's Kids.

You have a bond with them that others just don't understand. You can laugh about "teacher's kid probs" and feel like a small secret gang.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
