If Thrown Back To High School, What Would You Do Differently?

I Would Make Fun Of The Cheerleaders

Alright, I already did this one. We had some sort of football rally and all the hair-tossing, cleavage showing, cheerleaders came out bouncing about the gymnasium floor. My friend and I thought it would be funny to dress up like cheerleaders and jump around too. So we did. We got some laughs and detention the next day.

I look back now, and if someone tried to punish me for a little comedic relief, I would have pulled out a Constitutional Rights speech or a copy of High School Musical and thrown it in their face.

I Would Have Paid Attention More

If I could calculate how many times I fell asleep in class, I probably would have won some world record. My friend Lauren and I were notorious for falling asleep in class. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to learn, but come on teachers! Let’s add more fluctuation to your voices, especially during chemistry.

I Would've Been More Of A Rebel

I really didn’t want to get in trouble because I could never control my tears, and THAT is embarrassing! So, I would smoke cigarettes in my car on the way to school. If only I had the nerve to do it the bathroom! Just once!

I Would Have Written More

I always knew it was my passion, but it just wasn’t cool to be a writer in high school. I did it for my classes and in journals, but otherwise let years go to waste! I totally should have been writing for the newspaper, starting magazines, and just trying to get ahead. Why did I care so much what other people thought?? Ughh.

I Would Have Walked Into the Guy's Locker Room

Now, I wouldn’t have gone in there to smell the old sweat and smelly feet. No, I would have gone in there just to have some conversations. What’s wrong with a little small talk?

I Would Have Sat With The Dorks

Yup, that’s right. The dork table. I’m sure they had much more interesting things to talk about than “who did what in the hallway?”, or “Guess who’s going out with Chad?”

Yeah, they would probably be talking about computers and what they read in The New York Times. With a few fart jokes thrown in there, I’m sure. I can definitely relate to that now!

I would've been LUCY in Jekyll and Hyde, instead of a chorus girl.

It was VERY clear when I was a freshman, that I was better than the senior LUCY who got chosen for the role simply out of seniority…..now, I would’ve fought a little bit harder to get it. Then I settled bitterly in the chorus.

I Would Have Been More Creative

I went to a very sports oriented High School. Yes, I was involved in drama, chior, and art classes, but I should have expressed this more freely around school. A painting of the Principal hanging nice and high for everyone to see would have been a fun creative expression. Don’t ya think?
