25 Signs You Went To An All-Girls Private School

Going to an all-girls school was confusing and amazing all at the same time, with the uniforms, the no boys and the unbelievable girls that you spend four years with.

1. You never understood how people in public school didn't know EVERYONE in their class.

How do you go around not saying hi to everyone as you walk down the hall?!

2. You all accepted the fact that you cant make Bermuda shorts and polos cute.

3. Which led to a ridiculous amount of matching with other girls.

4. You gave up trying to look presentable after freshman year.

There came a point in time that make-up wasn't worth it and trying to actually match your pants to your polo was too time consuming and sleeping in was 100% more satisfying than doing your hair every morning. Like who are you going to impress, the other girls?

5. Dances were eye-opening because you realized that everyone could actually look like girls.

6. Your best friend's houses varied from 10 minutes, 30 minutes or an hour away.

Planning things in advanced as pivotal, because you never knew when you would be able to hang out outside of school again.

7. Your whole school kept J. Crew, the Gap, and Sperry in business.

When all you can wear are Bermuda shorts, cardigans, and khakis there aren't many options.

8. Wearing your uniform outside of school was dangerous because every public school hated you.

9. If some drama happened on Monday, everybody knew by Tuesday.

10. Including the teachers.

11. Even if you've graduated, you still hear about high school drama.

12. Seeing boys from public school with facial hair was like seeing grown men walking around.

13. You still hate your old rival private school (and always will).

14. There were always the girls that forgot about the scheduled dress-down days that everyone felt bad for.

15. Your classes were so small that once you got to college, you felt lost.

16. You also had no idea what to wear once you got to college.

Wait, you mean that you have to plan your OWN outfits!?

17. The highlight of graduating was being able to follow your teachers on social media.

We bothered them for years about following us and the answer was ALWAYS the same, "once you graduate,", so once those caps were thrown into the air that follow button was pushed.

18. Seeing a boy was like seeing an alien for the first time.

19. "Are you all lesbian?"

20. Everyone knew each other since kindergarten.

21. The two months before homecoming the most social time of the year (date time).

22. Football games were the highlight of the year because you actually got to hang out with boys and have a social life.

23. Your high school will ALWAYS be a part of you.

24. Graduation was bittersweet because you knew it was the last time that your whole class would be together.

25. You hated it in the moment, but high school was some of the best moments of your life.

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.
