When you still go on chaperoned shopping trips after age twelve.

When you haven’t seen boys and months. Then you finally see them at mixers and you realize that all they want to is grind on you. This leaves you with the feeling that you’ll never be in a serious relationship and that you’ll be forever alone.

When you go to school with people who are richer than God.

When you eat dinner at your teacher’s house. And they’re your coach, dorm mom, and advisor.

When caffiene is the only thing that will get you through your morning classes.

When stinkbugs become your third roommate.

Seeing your teacher in non-professional clothing.

When the walk to the dining hall for lunch on a Saturday is too much effort. Get online or call Domino’s or a Chinese restaurant.

You are in the middle of a shower and then the fire alarm goes off. You’re a prefect. You’re running up and down the hall in your towel, soaking wet, trying to get everyone out of the building.
