No matter the experience that you had going to high school, you are probably going to make your way back eventually once you graduate. Whether it be a teacher or to see your younger sibling participate in a school-sanctioned event, you still made your way back into the school. Here are 12 feels that you will get returning to your old high school:
1. I feel older than I should
I don't know if it's just me, but I feel like I so much taller than most of the kids there. But I also just feel so much more mature, I know it wasn't that long ago that I left but college does something to you.
2. I am shocked that one of my favorite teachers doesn't remember me
You would expect that if you were to walk into one of your favorite classrooms that your teacher would remember you. I get a little choked up at first and then remember that they have how many students a year?
3. The school has already remodeled
How did this happen? I was only gone for a short time and you've gone and changed everything. Like, where did you get all the money from to fund said renovations?
4. Students give me strange looks
I have to do a double take and try not to say anything. I used to walk these halls long before you did and I don't need those looks. But then again, why do I care? I am a college student now, so jokes on you.
5. Did I use to act so childish?
I internally roll my eyes just at the sight of some of these high schoolers. I just stand there praying to myself that I never acted like this while I was in high school.
6. The same cliques still exist
As much as I wish this idea would go out the door, cliques are as present as ever. And just like the movie, the mean girls run the school. Sigh...
7. I remembered the forgotten time when I dressed up every single day
Okay, this is where I really went wrong in high school. I wasted so much time making sure I looked good to go to school. I must have been entirely boy crazy because I could care less now. Why not just strive for comfort in all aspects of life?
8. How did I get myself up this early every day?
Somehow I made it to school every day before 7:38 am and now I am internally throwing up. That sounds like a death sentence and I thank my lucky stars that I don't have to do that anymore.
9. My favorite teacher remembers me just as if I left yesterday.
I would just like to thank this teacher for making things a little bit better during my school day. This is the type of teacher that has your back all the time and I don't know what I would do without them.
10. How do the teachers put up with the sass every day?
I don't know how teachers don't murder students. They put up so much sass and still keep their cool. That has to be a superpower.
11. Did I make my time last in these halls?
Thinking back on it, there was probably more that I could have done during high school. But I am always going to have that feeling of wanting to do more.
12. I am so glad I am not in high school anymore
College is so much better. High school was something, but whatever it was it wasn't as good as whatever I am experiencing in college. So peace out high schoolers, I just came to see one teacher and now I am out.
