10 Things We Will Always Miss About High School

High school was not "the best four years of our lives," but it did have many aspects we'll miss that we had to leave behind once we walked across the stage at graduation.

We have been overcome with nostalgia when thinking about the good 'ole high school memories, especially when recalling the dress code dos and don'ts to the questionable cafeteria meals.

Some may believe that high school was nothing more than a failed experiment to prepare young people for the real world. Yet, for others like myself, it consisted of a conglomeration of experiences that I will always reminisce about every time "Back to School" season rolls around.

Although it was a difficult process, I was able to narrow it down to the top 10 things I know I'll miss the most from high school:

1. Running 5 minutes late and quickly turning it into a full fledged breakfast date because either way, you're still going to be late.

Seriously, shoutout to the local McDonald's. Y'all are the real MVPs.

2. Learning about all the drama during lunch.

From whose dating who to the latest high school "scandal," there was always something juicy that was going to be discussed when your friend gave you the "you're never going to believe this" look.

3. Homecoming, Winter Formal, Prom and every other high school dance prep.

Any girl who has attended prom knows that it's basically a run through of what your wedding day is going to be like.

4. Knowing everybody in your class.

By the time you got to high school, it only took one glance on the first day in order for you to decide what the entire year in that class what going to be like.

5. Wearing a new outfit to school knowing that you were going to slay no matter what.

Failing a test wasn't all that bad when you were wearing a kick ass outfit.

6. When you find out that your teacher does test corrections.

Enough said.

7. Seeing your teachers in public.

Having that awkward run-in at the grocery store with your English teacher and immediately letting the whole world know that teachers don't actually live at school (despite popular belief).

8. Having that sense of power when you walk through the doors on the first day of senior year.

After three years of feeling like a peasant, you were finally at the top of the food chain. Being a senior felt like royalty.

9. Meeting with friends at your usual hang out spot in between classes.

10. GRADUATION!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
