6 Struggles You Know To Be True If You Went To Commack High School
Newsday

Commack High School.

Seniors waking up pretty early to get the best spot in the senior lot, where Juniors think they're Seniors, waiting for the final bell to ring, always seeing your friends in the hallways to stop and talk to them near there lockers.

CHS is a huge public school with over 2,000 students enrolled. However, I know for a fact with the 6 struggles I have included, everyone who goes or went to Commack High School can most definitely agree with me.

1. No AC.

September rolls around and before you know it, it's back to school. Walking into Commack High School in September in the heat, was no fun. As well as when June rolled around too. Second period would start and you would already be dying of pure sweat.

2. 5 Minutes Making It To Class.

Making it in time for your class when it was in the new wing and you were coming from the art/music wing means you had to JET.

3. Trying to get the best spot as a Senior.

Especially on a brutally, rainy day, you wanted to get into the school real quick so you'd leave your house 5 minutes earlier in order to get the best spot in the senior parking lot right next to the building.

4. Hall Monitors.

I never skipped class because I'm not that type of student, but when I did see some students skip class, a hall monitor who was a teacher, always would stop them and ask for a pass. And if you didn't have a pass, well, you were quite in trouble..unless it was a pretty cool teacher who'd let you off the hook.

5. The Stairs.

I don't know about you, but walking up the stairs was tiring. I'd get to the top sometimes, and i'd be dead already.

6. IB But No AP.

There is only 2 AP classes that were offered and a lot of IB Classes. AP Classes would count towards college credit yet some universities don't even know what IB is.

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.
