1. First day of class/realizing you're the smartest

The first day of school is annoying enough, but when someone asks "do we have to be in dress code every day," it becomes unbearable.

2. Inside jokes

Why does everyone know what "ooda ooo" mean? What does it mean?!

3. Homecoming

Why are adults put in charge of planning dances for teenagers? I'm sorry, but no one wants to hear the mixtape you made in 1976.

4. Administration

When the administration starts doing things like painting the ceiling, but won't put toilet paper in the bathroom, questions are raised.

5. Christmas break

Nothing is more sacred to high schoolers than the two weeks after midterms we get off for the holidays.

6. School gossip

When you walk past a group go girls and they all stop talking, you know they were spilling the tea. You want the tea too.

7. Valentine's Day

We have all had that one teacher that insists on everyone handing out Valentine's Day cards to everyone and there's always that one kid at IS NOT having it.

8. National Honor Society

To people not in it, National Honor Society seems quite like a cult. I mean, a bunch of kids wearing the same shirt, meeting after school, always saying they're doing things "for the children." It's weird, okay.

9. Flu season

Why does every kid get sick at the same time? And why does no one own a handkerchief?

10. French class

Foreign languages are hard, they're even harder when every word sounds like someone clearing their throat.

11. Gym class

We get it, you play sports outside of school, but this is gym class and not the Olympics, so I am going to jog the track.

12. History class

For some reason, listening to someone talk about that time when a bunch of guys massacred each other is not fun.

13. Criminal Justice class

This class goes hard. I mean you step through that door and you feel like you're in an episode of Law and Order: SVU.

14. Biology class

Why are there so many different plants? And why are their names so hard to pronounce?

15. When you get left home alone

The first time you're left home alone atnight is weird. Your parents left you twenty bucks for dinner, so what did you come? You ordered a pizza and, being too lazy to do the dishes later, proceeded to eat the whole thing over the sink. Ingenious.

16. Trying to meet word count

Trying to write 500 words about a topic you took half a page of chicken scratch notes on is difficult, so you just improvise.

17. When your teachers throw a birthday party

I know you know it's my birthday. You know I know you know. Let's leave it at that.

18. Having a substitute

High school students are evil, plain and simple. You have not experienced true fear until you see how a class of 20 fifteen year old act when a substitute teacher walk through the he door.

19. Finals

Sleep is necessary for a functioning mind, but when you have seven classes to study for, sleep is highly elusive. Your anxiety kicks in and suddenly your body forgets that it's human and needs sleep. But who needs sleep when there are energy drinks?

20. Asking for extra credit at the end of the semester

I think we've all been there; its the last week of the semester and you walk into the classroom before school starts and try to reason with your teacher oats to why they should bump your 78 to a tell you there's nothing to do and all you feel like doing is crying. We've all been there, right?

21. First day of summer

You have spent the last two weeks cramming every fact from seven different textbooks into your brain and now you can finally relax. You draw the shades and sit in the darkness in your bed without a care in the world.

22. When someone asked what you learned in school

During the school year, you can easily recite the periodic table from memory, but as soon as summer starts, every ounce of knowledge you learned drains out of your brain and you can barely recall the simplest facts.
