16 Things We Thought Were Totally Normal In High School, But Turns Out Weren’t At All

I had to laugh a little bit at the premise of this article, because sometimes it seems like high school was an entirely different world. What didn’t seem normal in high school, right?

Well, some things it turns out were more universally accepted as ho-hum than others, and these 16 people have some pretty hilarious submissions that will make you remember just how different life was at 15.

16. The worst.

Like emerging from hell and going straight for a pizza.

15. Showering might have been weirder.

If you believe 80s movies, anyway.

14. It was a zest for life.

Hard to replicate if you just don’t have it.

13. I slept so much in high school.

So this must have changed.

12. Milk is good for you!

That’s what they told us, anyway.

11. Bored, starving.

Potato, potahto.

10. People really don’t like milk as adults.

I think I know why now.

9. Absolutely brutal.

Whose idea was that anyway?

8. Lunch was ridiculously early.

That explains why we’re eating our lunches at work for second breakfast.

7. The Spanish kids were so basic.

But obviously the smartest ones in the bunch.

6. I mean, life, right?

It can just smack you right upside the head.

5. We’re all a little afraid of the dark.

No shame in that game.

4. They didn’t even teach us cool dancing.

Anyone need their square dancing in college?

3. OK was this really normal, though?

I vote not really.

2. It’s way too early.

You probably didn’t have time to stop at Starbucks, either.

1. They’re on their second knee replacement.

After winning a softball championship in college.

I know some people loved high school, but personally, I wouldn’t go back if you paid me.
