1. Everybody knows everybody.
2. Your school is actually a church.
3. It's a game of telephone 24/7.
If you say one thing that hints at drama, you better believe the entire school will know about it the next day.
4. Your current best friend is dating your ex-boyfriend who dated your ex-best friend last month.
When there's a total of five boys in your class, desperate times call for desperate measures.
5. You don't ride the bus, but your school does have a sketchy van.
6. Your school starts an hour before everyone else's, and even though you get released earlier, it still feels cruel.
7. Your science teacher is also your history teacher... and math teacher... and a few other subjects.
8. You are friends with people you probably wouldn't be friends with in public school.
9. Everyone thinks you're preppy, rich and snobby when in reality you're all just a bunch of lazy kids in collared shirts.
10. It's a competition to see who can push the dress code the farthest without getting caught.
11. If you're the new kid, everyone already knows your life story before your first day begins.
12. You have the same classmates from 6th to 12th grade.
13. "Free Dress" day is the highlight of the month.
14. Nobody knows what or where your school is.
"Where do you go again?"
"Oh, it's uh... well... Never mind, I go to a private school, you wouldn't know."
15. Your entire school goes on a field trip together.
16. The only thing exciting about chapel is that it shortens your classes.
17. You never wear khakis, navy blue or collared shirts outside of school. Ever.
18. Your principal may or may not be related to you.
Or your parents either work in the school or are there basically every day.
19. Your teachers know the gossip better than you do.
20. Everyone makes the team.
It's basically Upward for high schoolers.
21. Because everyone is on the team, there are about 4 people in the "student section."
22. If you are lucky enough to have a prom, there are more chaperones than students.
You know the feeling that someone is watching you? Think of that except it's real.
23. You never have to worry about gross school lunches because you pack your own.
Or if your mom is the real MVP, she will pack it for you.
24. You have a graduation class smaller than 30 people.
In my case, it's less than 8.
