High School As Told By "How I Met Your Mother"

It's January, so you know what that means: Winter break has just tragically ended. High school was not always easy, so sometimes you just need a few "How I Met Your Mother" GIFs to get you through the tough times.

Coming back from summer break with a glowing tan...

...and deciding that this is the year you'll make straight A's.

But, you never actually did, and as usual your parents were not impressed.

When you're stalking your lab partner's Instagram with your friends and you stumble across a weird picture. So, of course you just stare at them.

Maybe you're the victim and that group of friends is just staring at you.

When it was senior year and everyone was hearing back from colleges except you.

Plus, the 10 more college applications you had to complete by the end of the month.

We all had our extracurricular activities. Maybe you auditioned for your school play. You were so excited for your part, but then you got your costume.

When you know the answer, but your whole class just isn't grasping the concept.

Sitting in your least favorite class staring at the clock.

When your teacher asks who's texting in class.

The minute before the bell rings and everyone was just making awkward small talk with the person next to them.

When the weird guy from your 5th period English class decided to ask you to homecoming your sophomore year...

...but you have already spent days deciding who you were compatible with.

It felt like everyone around you was dating...

...except for you, so you spent endless days waiting for someone to knock your shoes off.


So you decided to try really hard to attract your crush in your 3rd period algebra class.

He finally noticed you and asked you for your number! Somehow, your texting isn't going as you thought it would. I mean, he read your message and isn't answering.

A miracle happened and he finally asked you out. You spend your nights thinking about him and mornings putting on makeup for him.

Some breakups ended like this when you saw him in the hallway...

...and some like this....

...or this...

Despite the perfect future you had planned in your mind, it had to end.

But he was still a gentleman and nice to let you go and you should just be happy that you got to have him at all.

When the teacher began to pass back the test and said the highest grade was a 75 percent and it definitely wasn't your test.

Your only thought during SAT prep:

The teacher said she would give the test back Monday, but it's Tuesday and she still hasn't said anything about the test.

When you want to be anywhere else but school.

Going to your first real party.

High school had it's ups and downs, but you also made a lot of great friends that will last a lifetime.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
