We’ll bet anything that at the end of the day one of the things you’re most thankful for are your high school friends. And why wouldn’t you be? They’ve had your back through thick and thin, and have proven time and again that they’re worth every bit of your trust. At this point you even consider them family, because they’ve helped you through every rough patch without even batting an eyelash. You’ve been there for more birthdays than you can count, and will be there for probably twenty more.

They’ve listened to your emo rants after every heartbreak, and held your hair back as you threw up after getting drunk for the first (or twelfth) time. You can’t imagine life without them, but seeing how you’ve known each other since your formative years, there are probably more than a few growing pains you guys are all too willing to forget, such as:

What were you thinking?

And ending all your messages with these: “Üüö” To this day you feel guilty for butchering the English and Filipino languages.

So not fetch.

It was only when you got older that you realized how cruel it was for these chicks to have been dyed and locked up in those tiny cages, and that was probably why your poor little pal didn’t live to adulthood.

The second you graduated all their allure vanished, and you realized how gross your crush on them really was.

Because knowing all the words to Andrew E, Salbakuta, and Sun Valley Crew made you such a legit G.

You know, the one where you actually wore guyliner whenever you went out to the mall with your friends, wore your Chucks until the soles and canvas gave, showered with bracelets until your elbow, and listened to Finch’s Letters to You on loop.

Even worse, posing in the middle of the mall for picture cards.

Now that you and your friends have hidden all photographic proof of all your high school regrets, leave a comment and confess a couple of things you and your barkada are still trying to live down! We won’t tell, we promise.
