The 8 Greatest Things About Attending An All Girls High School

Uniforms are your worst enemy, but also your best friend.

The 8 Greatest Things About Attending An All Girls High School

I know that when you first see the headline, you're probably thinking, "What is so cool about going to a school with all girls?" Trust me, there is so much about an all-girls high school that is awesome that you wouldn't know about unless you attended one. Coming from someone who has attended a co-ed school, switching to an all female high school was the best decision of my life. Here are the eight greatest things about them (in my opinion):

1. You can roll out of bed looking like you haven't slept in a week.


Personally, I have rolled out of bed like this way too many times, but hey. There are no boys here so who do I have to impress?

2. Uniforms are your worst, yet best friend.


"Uniforms? Are you crazy?" Maybe a little, but I honestly am so happy that I don't have to pick a new outfit every. single. day. Plus, you can wear the same skirt for a week and no one would even notice.

3. If you're ever in a bad place and crying, there's always a friend there to help you through your situation.

So many people cry throughout the day because of boys or just school in general, but you are always going to see someone consoling them. Even if someone doesn't know someone who's crying, they will be there to help as much as they can until a close friend can be there for you.

4. You will become so close to your classmates that, when senior year rolls around, you'll all be upset about leaving each other in just under a year.


Lemme tell you, I was not close to very many people when I was a freshman. I was that typical brace-faced girl who couldn't keep herself out of a boot. But each year, I've grown more and more close to everyone in my graduating class. Every time I see a senior in the hallway, I immediately smile and say "Hey *insert name*" in a very, very weird voice.

5. You don't have to wear makeup to please boys.

There is no real picture to describe wearing no makeup. Literally, you have no one to impress so why in the world would you wear makeup when no boys are around? Everyone is beautiful without makeup and going to an all girls school gives girls a sense of confidence to not wear makeup and feel pretty.

6. You can look like a complete pig when eating around your friends.


I cannot tell you how many times I have been so hungry and immediately devour my food when I sit down at the lunch table. And no one judges you because they're just as hungry as you. I know some girls are scared to eat in front of boys, but eating like a pig in front of all of your gal pals is a great feeling.

7. Your parents trust you more when you stay out if they know your best friend really, really well.

Some parents get really iffy about letting their kids go out if they don't know your friends very well. With an all girls school, having that one group of all girl-friends that your parents know well and like, they let you stay out and have fun more and know you won't be getting into too much trouble.

8. You leave with the greatest gift ever possible from high school: best friends.


Don't get me wrong, you can leave high school with a best friend anywhere. But through an all girls school, you grow close to someone who has been with you girls at your school drama, boy drama, boys involved with girls at your school drama, and so much more. They have been a big impact in your life and will always be a part of your high school memories from time to come.

Now I'm not trying to persuade anyone to attend a same-sex high school. But it was the best experience of my life and I thank God every day for it.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
