To be totally honest, the thought of attending an all women's school worried me at first. I was afraid my school year would be filled with endless drama and petty arguments. Instead my first semester has been filled with acceptance and sisterhood.

1. Everyday is a lazy day

When you don't have to worry about boys judging you by what you're wearing, literally every day is lazy day. For everyone. No girls are worried about impressing a guy by what they wear to class therefore everyone dresses lazy. For those of us who always dress lazy anyway, it's kind of a blessing.

2. Everyone is Focused

In high school, class was always being disrupted by girls flirting with boys or boys trying to impress the hottest girl in the class; whereas here, at an all women's college, we are all 100 percent focused on our studies in class. We devote ourselves to learning and are not being distracted by other people trying to get a date in class.

3. No boys late at night

My mom used to tell me horror stories of her roommates having boys overnight, and I never want to experience that. While some complain about the curfew for guys in the residence halls, I really appreciate it. I can take a shower at night and walk to my room in a robe while not having to worry about a guy catching a glimpse of my pink and white polka-dotted bathrobe.

4. Privacy

Sometimes you just don't want boys around. Another horror story I heard was someone walked into their room, started getting dressed without realizing their roommates had guys over. Talk about mortifying! I will never have to worry about coming home after midnight, after a night of working hard at the library, and realizing I have no privacy.

5. Sisterhood

It sounds cheesy, and trust me it is. Saint Mary's is known for its wide-spread sisterhood, a bond between Saint Mary's women. My first week here all I heard about was how these strangers I'm meeting will someday be my sisters. I did not see it at first, but as I joined clubs and got involved, I can see the formation of sisterhood.
