High School

Hello Monday, it is NOT good to see again.  Especially considering I have to be at work at 7:30 this morning.  Blegh.  Thank goodness for morning coffee y'all, cuz that is the only thing that is gonna keep me going today.


So over the weekend, I was browsing through my Facebook albums when I stumbled on one I created when I first started using Facebook.  The album is entitled "High School" and has the following heading: "All these pictures are of me in high school.  You know...cheerleading and stuff."   (There are no pictures of me doing any cheering and yes I was a cheerleader in high school, which shouldn't surprise any of you at all).


It made me realize a few things about myself in high school.

 1. I hardly took any pictures in high school at all, because I didn't have a camera.  Well I didn't have a digital camera, so all the pictures I did take were with a film camera.  And most of said pictures from said camera are floating around my mom's house back in Texas.

2.  That I didn't hate high school like the majority of people say they did.  But I talk to exactly 2 people from high still.

3.  Apparently my clothes had to match.  Everything in this picture is turquoise....even my shoes (which you cannot see cuz this picture sucks.)

4.  Selfies were a thing, way before Instagram.  (PS. I apologize for this picture.  I'm sure I thought I was real cool while I was taking it.  Now I know better.)

5. I clearly paid lots of attention in English class while we were studying the Classics.

(AP English 2005, clearly it was Halloween.)

6. I thought I could maybe be a model someday.  (I'm also really glad I moved to Florida because I'm no where near as pale as I was in high school)

(Drama field trip to Austin, TX for the UIL state competition Spring 2005.  I don't remember taking this picture at all.)

7. Cheer camp in the summer of 2005 is why I hate pulling my bangs straight back.

There are exactly 8 photos in that Facebook album.  And I'm really wishing there were more because I would have more to share with y'all AND I would have more pictures to make fun of.  Because I may have been super involved in high school but my choice in clothing was seriously questionable.  

Plus it's always fun to take a walk down memory lane.  

So what does looking at old high school pictures of YOU make you realize about yourself in high school?
