Top Ten Things to Not Miss About High School
Last week’s top ten was about what I missed and appreciated about high school. This week’s list looks at the flip side of those high school coming-of-age years in the early 1970s.
10. Macrame anything.
9. The lack of air conditioning in August and May.
8. Listening to the really-love-your-peaches-want-to-shake-your-tree line from Steve Miller’s song, The Joker.
7. Learning while sitting rather than learning while doing.
6. Wondering about making it through high school and college, getting a good job, getting married, having a family, and every other adult rite-of-passage that scares high schoolers silly.
5. Daily insecurity about clothes, hair, shoes, and anything else a high school girl can be insecure about.
4. School lunches.
3. Gym class.
2. Zits.
1. Homework.
