11 True Life Pros And Cons Of Attending An All-Girls High School

In This Article:

For high school, I was lucky enough to be able to attend a school near my house that introduced me to some lifelong friends. Although I did not always love the school, I was surrounded by some awesome teachers and fantastic strong pals.

Each high school had their own pros and cons but these were a few I found common among my peers.

Pro: You make best friends for life

I know I can count on them no matter what.

Pro: No Boys = No Boy Drama

Woohoo (except for that rare time when Becky finds out Jennifer is also going out with Brad.)

Pro: Getting to throw on sweatpants every single morning

Not to mention being able to not brush your hair.

Pro: Helped me come out of my shell

My mascot was a snail so this is literally true.

Pro: Distraction Free Zone

Now this one I can't always say is the truth as I was usually distracting others but I'm sure it's true for some people!

Pro: Feel more freedom to take risks/ look foolish

Pro: Community full of support (most times)

This can depend on what school you go to, but most times you can be surrounded with people who care about you.

Pro: Our Football Team was Undefeated

Whatever all-girls school you go to, just know you can brag about being an undefeated team!

Con: No Boys = Still lots of Drama

Even though we won't be fighting about boys, you can still count on the drama.

Con: "Wait, you go to an all-girls School?"

The shock on people's faces as you repeat for yet the ninth time, that yes, I go to an all-girls school.

Con: Boys are like a rare species when you see them

This one needs no commentary.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
