jolene 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.
