Signs You Were Homeschooled

Not everyone has the standard public school experience. The movies usually depict homeschooling unfavorably, casting the kids as anti-social outcasts. Many do not realize the homeschooling experience actually allows you to make lifelong friends while learning in a more flexible, stress-free setting. Children go into high school fully equipped academically and socially after their homeschooling. But then again... there are just some things that truly differentiate homeschoolers from "the normal kids".

1. You’ve been to pretty much every museum in your state.

2. Your mom found the strangest tours to go on (i.e bagpipe factory, the house of a lady who collects buttons, the house of a guy who makes boomerangs).

3.You might have been a part of a robotics team, or at least went to the competitions as a little sibling.


4. You learned how to teach yourself with friends.

5.You learned how to entertain yourself without friends.

6.You thought of public school as jail.

7. Everything was a field trip and learning experience.

8.You never knew why everyone else hated Mondays.

9.Sleepovers on school nights were a normal thing.

10.You have incredibly close friends from your homeschool group.

11.You learned how to include everyone.

12.You know not all homeschoolers are like the Duggars.


13.You are a little awkward, even when you try to keep it contained.

14. But you know you would be a completely different person if you weren't homeschooled. You are Homeschooled and proud.

It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
