Sometimes we get some backlash when we say that we've gone to an all guys high school, but it was way better than a lot of people think. It was very laid back, less drama than you could imagine and a whole lot of fun. Here are 12 ways you know that you went to an all-guys high school.

1. You absolutely know how to tie a tie (or, at least, know how to get away with it).

Sometimes it might have not looked the greatest, but you can't expect much when that tie as been sitting tied in your locker for the past six months.

2. Everyone you went to high school with has a nickname.

And the majority of them were probably too inappropriate to even use half of the time.

3. And if they don't have a nickname, then you call them by their last name.

Here's looking at you, Haas.

4. "Girls are here!"

Every time a girl walked in, we made sure everyone knew. Even if that meant running through the hall.

5. High school sports games were the rowdiest event and called for all day preparation.

Football, basketball, hockey or whatever it may be, games always were eventful.

6. When you meet someone who went to a rival school, you still can't help but take at least one stab at them for it.

"Oh, you went to (blank)? I'm sorry."

7. But when you meet an alumni, it's like long lost friends seeing each other for the first time after years.

Comparing what's changed and what's stayed the same is an alumni's favorite discussion.

8. The day you got a car is the day you entered the contest for best / worst driver.

Had to make sure you won something in the yearbook, so you had to own up to whichever you were closer to.

9. But, you didn't necessarily care what your car looked like because at least you had one.

If it had four wheels and a motor, then it got the job done.

10. You may be in high school, but with all guys, you still laugh at the same things a seventh grader would.

From subtle sexual references to new, unnecessary inappropriate levels.

11. Handshakes for everyone.

Firm handshakes, fist bump or the classic dab. We all did them.

12. You have no problem going back because it means you can go back to goofing off just for a little while.

After all, this is the place that built you.
