12 Times '80s Movies Described The Stereotypes Of Going To An All-Girl's School

Going to an all-girls, private school, I often hear remarks, and stereotypes from people around me. There are definitely many differences between going to a co-ed, public school and a same-gender, private school. But there are also many similarities between the two. I mean, just because I go to an all-girls school, doesn't mean I am a different species. We are the same as everyone else. And we definitely don't think we are better than you. Furthermore, the '80s was probably one of the best decades, and personally it was my favorite (even though I didn't get to live through it). Everything seemed more real back then, and nobody was afraid of what to say. So here are some stereotypes that are thrown at people who go to an all-girls school, according to the '80s.

1. We are all lesbian.

Not all of us are. Just because we go to an all-girls school, doesn't mean we don't like guys.

2. We are very cliquey.

We're not. At all. We are all one big family, and we know every little thing about each other.

3. We care about our appearance -- a lot.

You're lucky if you see any makeup on us, or with brushed hair.

4. There is always drama.

Correction. There is never drama. Like ever.

5. Salad is the only food we eat.

You are more likely to see us shoving pizza into our face.

6. We don't know how to talk to guys.

If anything, we over-talk to guys.

7. We don't socialize with boys.

We do, we really do, but if you want to hit us up, feel free.

9. We all aspire to be nuns.

Just because we go to a Catholic school, doesn't mean we all dream of being nuns.

10. We have weird traditions.

This one is actually true. But nobody gets them, not even us.

11. We are all boring and stuck-up.

We all have respect for each other, and we know when to have fun too.

12. The school is run by nuns, who beat us with rulers and belts.

Really? You really think that happens? Just go home.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
