11 Things You Know to Be True If You Went from Private School To A Private College

Going to a private high school gives you a unique perspective that is unlike that of your public school peers. For those of us who decide to continue our private education in college, you realize that some things just don't change.

1. You're probably killing it in your bible classes.

2. Chapel is a part of life.

Hearing the same practical applications of Bible stories every week probably doesn't even phase you anymore.

3. People ask why you didn't go to your local state school.

Everyone you graduated with wonders why you would put yourself through high school all over again, but it has its perks. By now you're a pro at the private school life.

4. Rules on rules on rules.

By now you've had every rule under the sun from not being allowed to wear shorts, visitation rules in the dorms, and all the other regulations that help keep your morals in check.

5. You relish in the fact that you get to wear t-shirts to class now.

You will probably never buy another collared shirt again.

6. Size does matter.

A lot of your college peers might complain that their high school was bigger than their class now, but to you, a class of more than 80 people is huge.

7. "Tuition" is a hot topic in your household.

Our poor parents will be paying for private school until they die.

8. Going to college was anything but a culture shock.

It's like going to high school but with more freedom (shocking, I know).

9. You still know everyone.

In such a small "community" it's likely you'll meet most of the campus by the time you graduate.


10. You and your teachers are good pals.

It's easy to get to know teachers and professors when there are only 15 people in the class. Also, chances are you've been able to reach them for office hours.

11."It's just like high school only a little bigger."


If you had a dollar for every time you heard this you would have enough money to cover your tuition.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

Yes, the math major is doing a math-related post. What are the odds? I'll have to calculate it later. Many people have probably learned about the Fibonacci sequence in their high school math classes. However, I thought I would just refresh everyone's memories and show how math can be beautiful and apply to physical things everywhere around us with stunning examples.

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.
