8 Things You Know If You Went To An All-Girls High School

If you went to an all-girls school, your experience is something you will never forget. You are part of a sisterhood. I went to an all-girls school here in San Diego, and it was crazy and memorable at the same time.

1. You had to wear uniform every single day.

I personally liked wearing a uniform because then you didn't have to freak out about what to wear each day. You just pick out a polo shirt and a skirt, and you're good to go. My school wasn't very strict on the uniform. We were allowed to wear Converse or Vans as long as they were black. Once you were a senior, you were allowed to wear white shoes. Also, we had a skirt length regulation, but most girls didn't follow it. We would just pull it down if a teacher passed by.

2. Since we had to wear a uniform, we would go crazy if it was "Free Dress" day.

Okay, maybe we wouldn't dress up as a princess like Mia Thermopolis but we still got excited if we could wear regular clothes. The thought of wearing jeans to school was amazing.

3. Feminism was somehow taught in every class you took. 

Every single class I took had feminism aspects to it. Every single class—English, history, science and even math. In my language class, I learned about girl power. It was something I had to get used to.

4. We would go crazy if we saw a guy on campus. 

We were basically boy deprived. Boys were an extinct species to us. If we saw a guy on campus, we would obsess and go crazy. If a guy was on campus to ask out a girl out for prom, we would cry about how cute it was.

5. Talking about boys, we had crushes on our guy professors. 

Everybody had a crush on the guy professors because they were the only guys on campus. Some of them were cute. It's what we do at an all-girls school.

6. There was always girls who liked girls. 

When you go to an all-girls school, girls are going to like girls. It can be kinda weird if you're not used to it, but by your senior year it becomes pretty normal to see on campus.

7. The same songs were always played during pep rallies. 

These songs never got tiring. They would always play Disney songs, typical girl songs or any song that would make us stand up and dance, especially High School Musical songs.

8. Finally, the girls you met were always going to be there for you. It's a sisterhood. 

During my four years of high school, there was always a group of girls who were there for me. Sometimes, you don't keep in touch with all your friends from high school. Maybe a couple of girls is all you need. They are basically your sisters, and they will be with you at your marriage. You might not go to the same university, but they will be there for you.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
