1. When your new friends find out you went to boarding school, they’ll probably ask if your parents hate you.
3. People will definitely ask if your school was just like Hogwarts.
And, well… it’s not like you can lie.
4. Because let’s be real, your school was basically Hogwarts.

5. After boarding school, suddenly no one knows who you are.
After four years on a campus where everyone knew everyone’s business, this can come as a shock.
6. All your high school friends are now scattered around the world.
Is it time for our five-year reunion yet?
7. But you’ll be sure to see them as often as possible.
@-webkit-keyframes”dkaXkpbBxI”{ 0%{opacity:0.5;} 50%{opacity:1;} 100%{opacity:0.5;} } @keyframes”dkaXkpbBxI”{ 0%{opacity:0.5;} 50%{opacity:1;} 100%{opacity:0.5;} }
Rocking your class rings.
8. You’ll want to rep your school as often as you can.
@-webkit-keyframes”dkaXkpbBxI”{ 0%{opacity:0.5;} 50%{opacity:1;} 100%{opacity:0.5;} } @keyframes”dkaXkpbBxI”{ 0%{opacity:0.5;} 50%{opacity:1;} 100%{opacity:0.5;} }
No matter how battered your sports jacket gets.
9. You’ll find that at college, people will take the Honor Code way less seriously.
What do you mean, cheating’s not so bad?
10. And you’ll realize your high school motto really got to you.
Non Sibi and Deserve Your Heritage and all that.
11. The library will no longer be your main place to hang out.
Now it’s strictly business.
12. And you’ll actually miss the creative locations of your boarding school hookups.
Whatever happened to romance?! Whatever happened to making out in the school graveyard?!
13. When you come home for the night, there won’t be warm cookies left out for you from your dorm faculty.
You will compensate with Oreos.
15. Because boarding school rivalries run deep.
@-webkit-keyframes”dkaXkpbBxI”{ 0%{opacity:0.5;} 50%{opacity:1;} 100%{opacity:0.5;} } @keyframes”dkaXkpbBxI”{ 0%{opacity:0.5;} 50%{opacity:1;} 100%{opacity:0.5;} }
But are always meant in the best spirit.
17. And every once in a while, you’ll sort of miss having quiet hours and lights out.
IT’S A TUESDAY, YOUTHS.
18. You’ll miss the infirmary nurses.
Even if it seemed like they only ever gave you Saltines and ibuprofen.
19. You’ll miss the chapel bells.
@-webkit-keyframes”dkaXkpbBxI”{ 0%{opacity:0.5;} 50%{opacity:1;} 100%{opacity:0.5;} } @keyframes”dkaXkpbBxI”{ 0%{opacity:0.5;} 50%{opacity:1;} 100%{opacity:0.5;} }
20. Your university newspaper will probably pale in comparison to your school paper.
22. You’ll become the go-to person for teaching others how to do laundry.
Seriously, how have they not learned by now?
23. You’ll realize the blessing of knowing how to flirt sober.
After building relationships on an officially dry campus for four years, you’ll wish others had that gift too.
25. New friends will get really confused about the weird words you use for everything.
It’s not that confusing. Junior means freshman, upper means junior…
26. You don’t even know who you’re allowed to cuddle.
At boarding school, same-sex cuddling was usually a given, regardless of your sexuality.
27. You will miss your English teachers like crazy.
Really, you’ll miss them all.
28. You’ll miss walking on familiar paths and knowing every person’s name.
@-webkit-keyframes”dkaXkpbBxI”{ 0%{opacity:0.5;} 50%{opacity:1;} 100%{opacity:0.5;} } @keyframes”dkaXkpbBxI”{ 0%{opacity:0.5;} 50%{opacity:1;} 100%{opacity:0.5;} }
29. You’ll miss those classy sit-down dinners each week.
30. You’ll miss all your favorite quiet spots, like the reading room…
@-webkit-keyframes”dkaXkpbBxI”{ 0%{opacity:0.5;} 50%{opacity:1;} 100%{opacity:0.5;} } @keyframes”dkaXkpbBxI”{ 0%{opacity:0.5;} 50%{opacity:1;} 100%{opacity:0.5;} }
31. … or the open fields.
@-webkit-keyframes”dkaXkpbBxI”{ 0%{opacity:0.5;} 50%{opacity:1;} 100%{opacity:0.5;} } @keyframes”dkaXkpbBxI”{ 0%{opacity:0.5;} 50%{opacity:1;} 100%{opacity:0.5;} }
32. And you’ll miss the tiny touches the dining staff added to make you feel special.
