How I died and lived to tell about it...

Okay, maybe I haven't died. That was merely for dramatic effect. But then again maybe I have?

Today in the Subway line at the HUB, I had a conversation with a close friend about I how had endured through the hardest Spanish test of my college career. Throughout this entire vent, I had noticed a nearby onlooker of my conversation. Little did I know that this girl was a middle-schooler visiting the UW - who would later go on to ask my friend which was harder, college or middle school. 

Over a delicious subway sandwich my friend and I mulled over this question. The verdict.

MIDDLE SCHOOL...

5 Reasons Why Middle School is Death:

1. Boys. Inappropriate. Annoying. Immature. Perverted. Mean. Yeah, you heard me. I don't know if I can ever recover from that one guy who made fun of me for wearing mismatched socks. Or the other guy who liked to cheat off me or try to get me to do his homework for him. 

2. Hooking up. Whatever that means. So what if Jimmy Blunderhead and Susie Blabbermouth hooked for like 5 minutes by their locker let me eat my lunch. Haha, 8 years later... and?

3. Girl's locker rooms. This includes all of the following. The latest gossip - it's cruel. Bras - yeah sorry guys it was awkward for me too. Tampons - scary. Copious amounts of Victoria Secret's Love Spell Potion - can you say suffocation? Boy talk - lost me there. Changing in front of other people - whatever you do, don't stare. 

4. It was uncool to like school. Me. I liked school. Me = uncool. Yeah, not gonna lie I was the librarian's favorite and all the other teacher's too. But admit it,  you weren't and you're still jealous. It's okay, I'm cool now (maybe?). 

5. Puberty. The real killer. Let's not even go there. It was too traumatic. I'm slowly recovery. 

Okay so I'm still alive. Somehow I managed to survive. Somehow...(probably grace). 

So little middle-schooler, there is hope! Life does get better! College is amazing. And girl from the Subway line, you should become a Husky because we are awesome (except not at football).
