I’m not sure about you, but high school has been an absolute breeze these past two years. I mean, the stressing over deadlines, staying up until dawn to study, and the exhausting socializing hasn’t worn me out at all. If you are looking for a good example of high school life that may not differ just a little from our reality, check out these five films.
1. Mean Girls
Almost everyone has seen the iconic Lindsay Lohan & Rachel McAdams classic. We all know girls can be powerful masterminds with zero remorse. Except I can’t recall the last time I’ve seen someone get pushed in front of a bus. It must’ve happened that time I was home sick.
2. High School Musical
Ah yes, the movie I was convinced would be my own high school experience in a nutshell when I was age nine. If you weren’t watching this movie and fantasizing about high school being exactly the same, then what were you doing?
3. Camp Rock
Those who went to the leadership camp understand everything this movie was about. The camp colours were battling it out trying to beat each other to become the ultimate camp-rocker with musical wisdom and knowledge. Not so far off from the actual movie.
4. 10 Things I Hate About You
This movie hits all the marks for a teenager’s high school encounter: cliché high school parties, a messy relationship, and a girl boss moment where you use an emotional poem to get back at the guy who broke your heart. I’m not sure about the guy pretending to date me for cold hard cash though.
5. Carrie
There are honestly so many similarities between this movie and real life high school. I see girls walking around the hallway, drenched in blood, wearing a prom dress all the time. Okay, so maybe this one is a bit of a stretch, but imagine if it actually happened.
