High school changed me a lot more than I expected. It changed me the way I think, the way I solve my problem, even the way I hijab, lol.  These are things I know about and learn from highschool:

1.People will always judge you no matter what you do. They will judge what you wear, what you talk, who you friends with. They will judge you, because that’s what they do.

2.There will always be some girls / boys who thinks they are the leader. They have rights to choose who they want to be friends with, they have rights to be mad at you when you don’t like their choices, they have rights to judge you, they have rights yelling at you when you make a mistake, they have rights to do everything. These kind of people—a drama-maker—they often annoying but, I don’t know, maybe without them high school must be really boring.

3.Every school (well, at least in my country) have uhm…what should I call it? Tempat nongkrong lah intinya.It’s a place for boys (or maybe even girls, but not many) to do everything that is illegal / obeying the rules. Like smoking, or playing cards, something like that. We called them bad boys. They are like bad boys, but not that bad. It depends on which perspectives you see.  I can’t explain it clearly. Most of them are like a troublemaker; some teachers don’t like them because they do something that school forbid.

4.I guess…every highschoolers have, at least, one person they have a crush on in their school, no? Some decided to be together, some do something (baca: kode-kodean) to make them—their crush—realize, some try to hide their feelings. And just like Taylor Swift’s lyrics on her song, “Somebody tells you they love you, you’re gonna believe them….” (fifteen-Taylor S.) Hmm…#DamnItsTrue.

5.Friends in high school…? Uhm, I can’t tell much. Some say your friends in high school are friends for the rest of your life. I don’t really know about it, let the time answer it. But I know this: friends are not only those who talk with you everyday, it can also be those who understand your silence. Friends are not only those who makes you feel comfortable and safe, it should be those who makes you love yourself, be yourself, and makes you want to improve yourself, in a good way.

6.      In highschool, you start knowing yourself better,…you start knowing a lot of things. And try a lot of things. Some times you regret it, some times you’re grateful with it. You start knowing what you really want, what you hate, what your plans ahead.
