20 Things You Secretly Miss About All-Girls School

"Being able to wear whatever you want because none of your friends judged you for your dirty sweatshirt or your untied Nikes that you constantly trip over but are too lazy to tie. Groutfits are never discriminated against. Ever."

20 Things You Secretly Miss About All-Girls School

While you’re attending an all girls school the struggle is literally too real. There is a high likelihood that you will go a month without seeing a male that isn’t a teacher. Below is a list of 20 things that none of us alumni want to admit that we miss, but we totally do.

1.Suddenly the 50-year-old Starbucks barista is George Clooney’s doppelgänger. Catching one of your friends face timing a boy becomes this week’s hot scandal.

2. Your time is spent being a slave to your school's schedule which is solely based around when you can eat, which is the highlight of your day.

3. Your homework load is so excruciatingly heavy that you become numb to it and begin to feel like a prisoner in your library.

4. Every interaction with your dorm parent makes you miss your parents who would let you get in your friend's car to drive to the Starbucks that is only five minutes away but your too lazy to walk to. And worst of all, every time you’re in your dorm room you just stare at your laundry basket wondering when your mom is going to come in and do it for you.

5. After you graduate from an all girls school you realize that you miss that daily struggle.

6. Not wearing makeup to class ever and loving it but always having the option to wear it any way you want (but you never did).

7. Being able to wear whatever you want because none of your friends judged you for your dirty sweatshirt or your untied Nikes that you constantly trip over but are too lazy to tie. Groutfits are never discriminated against. Ever.

8. Ordering a disgusting amount of cheap Chinese take-out and that fact that it was always supported even if you had already eaten. After all the first dinner is just a pre-game anyways, right?

9. Getting ready with your friends to go and see actual real live boys your age. Getting ready was a process too because it was your one shot to meet a boy that you would then proceed to only see over FaceTime.

10. The feeling you got every time you finally got off campus, even if it was only for a trip to Target. Target became your America and you were Christopher Columbus sailing on out of boredom.

11. Your dorm parent cooking baked goods for you to continually fuel your bad eating habits. After all, who doesn’t love red velvet cupcakes at 11 o’clock??

12. Netflix being a recreational sport that people got aggressively competitive about. “NO, I WATCHED MORE SEASONS THIS WEEK!!!!”

13. Stealing your friends towels when they showered, turning the lights out on your friends while they were in the shower, pouring cold water on your friends when they were in the shower. Basically torturing your friends while they were trying to shower.

14. Reading Cosmo's sex section out loud and feeling like a scandalous badass.

15. Eating a disgusting amount at breakfast, lunch, and dinner because meals at school are basically a competition of who can eat more. One bowl of chicken nuggets just wasn’t going to cut it.

16. Being on sports teams with all of your friends so the fact that you sweat like a pig wasn’t a big deal. The fact that you were awful at the sport didn’t matter either.

17.Not being afraid to speak your mind, or ask super irrelevant questions in class because everyone in your class your friends with and, after all, it gave you something to talk about while you ate bowls of chicken nuggets.

18. Participating in all the weird school traditions that you try and explain to outsiders but they will never understand.

19. Planning for prom with all your friends despite the fact that finding a date was possibly one of the most stressful moments of your high school career. Honestly, the idea of all of us bringing our older brothers was considered.

20. Getting to live with all of your best friends and complain about them all the time about the struggle that is your life while at school. Oh and borrowing their clothes, we all miss that too.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
