We’re not saying secondary school was the easiest experience of our lives.
Hell, no.
But it’s certainly a lot feckin’ easier than adulting – wouldn’t you agree?
Here are 14 things we really, really miss about secondary school.
1. Mitching
Mitching school was the best adrenaline rush you could get as a teen and, of course, the satisfaction of not getting caught afterwards was also pretty great.
2. P.E
I mean, back when you were a teen, P.E was the worst because you had to haul in your P.E gear to and from school – which was the worst – but anything is better than actual work.
3. Chicken fillet rolls
Possibly the best lunch going, a spicy chicken fillet roll from Spar, with a packet of Tayto and a can of coke.
The simple days..
4. Easy homework
Remember when homework consisted of answering a few maths questions and studying some French words?
Yeah, same.
5. Dating
Dating as a teenager was probably the easiest thing ever, the person was from your friend group and you literally just had to hold hands like twice.
6. Ride-or-die friend group
When you’re in secondary school you have that close-knit group of friends who you’d do anything for, you always have people to hang out with.
What made it even better was that you saw them every single day.
7. Ultimate best friend
Everyone had an ultimate best friend through their teen years, someone you do everything with and you share all those weird personal details that you wouldn’t dare trust with anybody else with.
8. Free classes
Free classes = no work
No work = the best craic you ever had
9. Not having to call anyone when you’re sick
Remember when sick days consisted of sleeping in and then getting your mammy to write a note? I miss those days.
10. Not having to worry about what clothes to wear
Although everybody hated those heavy uniforms that made you sweat buckets, it made life so much easier than having to choose clothes to wear.
11. Using sick bay as an excuse to get out of class
Sick bay was the good kids’ way of mitching without getting in trouble.
Had a class you wanted to avoid? Fake a headache and sit in sick bay for the whole class.
12. Using group work as an excuse to chat with mates
Using group work to catch up with Becky and all the tea she has on Katie and her boyf.
13. Copying homework
Nothing says I was too lazy to do this myself like copying someone else’s homework five minutes before class.
But remember to change it a little so that the teacher doesn’t cop.
14. School Tours
Cramming 50+ students onto a tiny bus and then taking them somewhere that they will never bother to even think about again.
