Why High School Drama Was Not That Big Of A Deal

It really wasn't that big of a deal and it still wouldn't be that big of a deal today.

Why High School Drama Was Not That Big Of A Deal

In This Article:

When you are in high school, EVERYTHING is seen as the end of the world. From relationships to friendships, it all feels like it is falling apart right in front of your eyes. But trust me when I say there are bigger problems you will have to deal with.

People Who Don't Do Their Work And Get Away With It

We have all encountered someone in our lives who has been the person who always seemed to have the perfect excuse for why they were unable to hand in work and it bothered others who do the work and feel like the other person should be punished for lack of effort.

Deciding Where You Sit At Lunch

Picking a seat at lunch can feel like one of the most important decisions as a freshman on their first day because the group of people you will meet at this table could potentially be your friends for the rest of high school and social status matters... NOT! It doesn't matter who you hang out with

What People Think Of You

Worrying what people think of you has always been one of the worst parts of high school because you want to compare yourself to everyone else and worry about what others think. Just realize that you are your own person and there is nothing anyone can do to change that. Just be yourself. You will do a lot better in the long run.

Thinking Every Relationship You Will Be Your Last

High School Relationships are not meant to last. I am not saying they can't last but you need to go explore your life and become the best version of yourself before you let a guy into your life. Relationships are fun but don't make any lifelong plans immediately with that person.

The People Who Don't Study and Do Amazing on The Exam

Remember getting a test back and seeing your grade and getting mad because you studied all night for that exam and your friend who sits next to you got an A after saying she just read the material 5 minutes before the test started. Yes, you will find people like this in the real world outside of college.

When the Teacher Says Not To Do the Assignment in One Night and Someone Does

Procrastination will always affect your life in some way. But trust me, the work will show. But at the same time, you could get a B on the assignment and just be fine with it. Procrastination exists everywhere and there will always be that one person.

When Someone Goes Out of Their Way To Remind the Teacher About Homework

Oh, there was always one kid who took it upon themselves to remind the teacher of a homework assignment which most of the class did not do. That kid was in for it when gym class started, especially if playing dodgeball.

The funny thing is that people think all of this stuff is still big drama in the Adult World too. Put your big kid pants on and do what needs to be done so you can move on to the next day. Stop crying over the little things to happen in life because that won't solve any of your problems. And leave the drama behind in high school where it belongs.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Feeling Lost During Syllabus Week? You're Not Alone!

Kourtney Kardashian

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.
