4 Things That Seemed Normal In High School

1. Woods Par­tiesCAUTION: There will be bugs, and lots of social­iz­ing. Woods Par­ties are def­i­nitely a thing, espe­cially if you life in a smaller town. “Let’s walk for 10 min­utes deep into the woods, and get bit by bugs just so we can drink,” sounds log­i­cal… right? Par­ty­ing in the woods was one of our favorite (and muddy) pas­times that’s for sure. It was like a less intense ver­sion of the Hunger Games. May the odds be ever in your favor, aka pray the cops don’t show up. Every­one had the same goal: to have fun, not get caught, and to make it out with clean shoes

 

2. Saran-Wrapping Cars/ Fork­ing Lawns– For some odd rea­son the idea of wrap­ping someone’s car in saran wrap was extremely funny to us and cre­ated some sort of thrill for peo­ple, but the more I think about it, it’s just dumb. Also, fork­ing lawns sounded like a good idea at the time but look­ing back, whose idea was that?

 

3. Body Paint­ing– I guess it’s a thing for sport­ing events but look­ing back why didn’t we just wear the fan shirts every­one had?? Life would have been a whole lot eas­ier com­pared to tak­ing a three-hour shower and still look­ing like a five year old painted your body.

 

4. Hav­ing your friends-Facebook friends-brother who was over 21 to buy you alco­hol– Once our par­ents alco­hol cab­i­net wasn’t enough to sat­isfy us, we tried some­thing new. If that doesn’t smell like des­per­a­tion I hon­estly don’t know what does. Good times!! You group chat prob­a­bly looked some­thing like this,

Friend 1: “Guys who do you think can get us stuff for tonight?”

Friend 2: “I don’t know ask (insert ran­dom per­son here) maybe they can.”

Going through all this trou­ble so you could get your hands on a bot­tle of UV Blue, which they for­got to men­tion wasn’t exactly the great­est alco­hol of choice. But before I for­get bring out the mix­ers of Drag­on­fly Vit­a­min water as well!!
