Going to an all-girl's school really is a blessing. When I tell most people that I attended an all-girl high school they either respond with "Whoa, that sucks" or "That's awful. I'm sorry," and I never really understood why they said that. I would explain to them that if they made the decision that I did they would feel the same way. Because, honestly, attending an all-girl high school has shaped me into the person I am today.

Although, college for me was definitely a different experience because I do attend a co-ed university. That means boys. Weird.

The first couple weeks it took me a while to get used to walking to class and seeing a boy in front of me or sitting near one in class. And when I say near I mean across the room.

I would see girls walking to class in full hair and makeup and thinking in my head how I felt bad for them and wondering why they did that. But, after getting used to it I could see why they did it, but not changing my ways at all on how I get ready for class. Meaning, bun on top of head and maybe mascara.

Now, also, girls that go to a school without any boys do create some very odd traditions according to the naked eye. So, why not tell you things today that are considered completely normal to girls that were surrounded by pretty much other girls for a full four years.

1. First, not brushing your hair

That's a given. I mean, who do we have to impress?

2. Wearing shirts that cover your shorts

You're aren't doing it right if people don't ask if you have pants on.

The answer is always yes.

3. Stuffing your face

We never really had to worry about manners or caring about how much we eat, so why start now? Getting asked on dates sometimes gives us anxiety because we do not know whether to use a fork or not and if it's OK to order two meals.

4. Not knowing how to talk to boys

Some girls are better than others, but sometimes we make this face, think we look attractive and hope he does not run away.

5. Wearing unmatched clothing and think it looks good

I have been the victim one too many times on this one.

6. Always dressing up in a costume

At an all-girls school, you usually have days where everyone goes all out and dresses up in a costume that might be considered weird to some people, but not the girls. They just look normal in our eyes. It really comes in handy when you are in a sorority because looking for an outfit for an exchange comes easy.

7. Wearing a Uniform

A lot of private schools wear uniforms and to be honest, I did not mind it because the stress of not knowing what to wear every day was never an issue.

8. Being competitive

9. Having huge school pride

The above picture is what our pep rallies usually look like.

10. Lastly, Being supportive

It does not matter what our fellow classmate, best friend or a girl who sits behind us in class does, we will always support them. Because that is what us girls do.
