Things That Were Totally Normal In High School But Are Actually Kinda Bonkers (20 Tweets)

If you stop and think about it, did ANYTHING we did in high school make sense?

Between the wild hormones and the weird schedules, high school had us in absolute chaos the entire time. We combed the internet to bring you some of the best (worst?) things in high school that made sense then but, upon reflection, are actually completely ridiculous.

1. Gym to math

2. What was that lunch time?

3. Like, seriously…

4. So much milk.

5. This was me, I was those kids

6. Shorts kid

7. Oof, why.

8. So early!

9. Well. Some kids… But yeah.

10. Lunch periods

11. EAT FAST.

I just had a random thought. We really only had 20 minutes for lunch in high school. 5 minutes to go to the cafeteria, 5 minutes to wait in line to get food, 10 minutes to eat, 5 minutes to get back to class. Why did that seem like a long time?
