What Going To An All Girls School Is Really Like

No Boys, No Problems

What Going To An All Girls School Is Really Like
Gaby Ruiz

Going to an all-girls high school changed my life for the better. It taught me to stand up for what I believe in, never be embarrassed to cry in public and always break out some dance moves to relieve some stress. When the average person thinks of high school, they think of football games, prom, being in a classroom with their crush and all the effort that went into picking a new outfit every day. But when I think of high school, it's just a little different...here's what I think of:

1. Waking up 15 minutes before you have to be out the door

2. Never brushing your hair, ever

3. Someone always crying for no reason

4. Baking for your friends birthday

5. Mass uniforms being the most dressed up you'll get all week

6. Rolling your skirt

7. Having a tradition for everything

8. Screaming the Alma mater just because

9. Getting the "So, how do you meet boys?" question

10. Discussing anything and everything in public

11. Shaving once a month

12. Being openly weird in class

13. Knowing too many bonding games

14. Everyone knowing everything about one another

15. Crying at the thought of having boys in your class again

16. Borrowing clothes for every event

17. Having a sisterhood that will last you a lifetime

Going to an all-girls high school is one of the most unique experiences you could ever have. Not only are you constantly surrounded by laughs and love, you share a sense of unity and friendship with those girls that will last for the rest of your life. No matter it be with traditions, things you've learned in and out of the classroom or simply your class ring, these experiences are one of a kind. I loved my all girls school and would not have wanted my high school experience to be any different.

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.
