These days, everyone wants to know what it's like to go to an all girls school. Clearly, this is true because there is an Odyssey article written on the subject at least 45,000 times per week. But I am here to tell you the truth about going to an all-girls school. Here are 10 things everyone refuses to say about single gender education.
1. Your mascot is actually Susan B. Anthony dressed up in costume.
It is a little-known fact that all-girls high schools pay Susan B. Anthony to dress up like their school mascot.
2. No one teaches you how to correctly eat with chopsticks.
In my four years at a single-gender institution, not one person at my high school attempted to teach me how to properly use chopsticks. Kind of makes you think about all those studies claiming the “benefits” of single-gender education.
3. No one tells you that single gender education indoctrinates young women to become independent adults with jobs.
No one told me I might get a job because of my new found independence!
4. You will forget the lady's name that made your sandwiches three months after graduation.
Linda? Brenda? Mom? Not Sure!
5. You will lose 10 pounds after graduating because you will no longer be exposed to flaming hot Cheetos.
Who would have known that the cure for higher obesity rates in America is to stop eating flaming hot Cheetos! Put the bag down people! Problem solved. That’s what I call a good education.
6. Your friends were being paid the whole time, you were the only person not in on the joke.
It’s crazy that not many people know that their friends at their single-gender high school are actually aspiring actresses who are getting paid to be your friend. Where are they now? You can find out on Facebook.
7. Your teachers were holograms.
8. Your uniform is made of animal bones and soy products
Is this a big Ag conspiracy? Ever wonder why your skirt was so comfortable!? That would be the plants and animals.
9. Jesus personally pays for girls to attend all girls catholic high schools.
It is uncommon that people know about Jesus’ last words on the cross: Remember the ladies!
10. It’s the best four years of your damn life, you will never be as beautiful as you were in high school, you woman.
People will not say this out loud, but there will be nice little quiet reminders laid out for you for the rest of your life, cheers!
