I know! Get the whole idea already. I've studied in an all girl convent school pretty much my whole life growing up to an 18 year old teenager who is currently waiting for her Malaysian Cert of Education. And yes, I've studied in a mix normal school but that was way before I could understand politics and other big people stuff. That's a whole other story.
Let's get to the point now. Studying in an all girl school could be a pain in the behind but when you leave high school and you're all on your own, TRUST ME, you're going to miss all of it! Most of it. I know I did. So, here are 5 FUN FACTS: ALL GIRL HIGH SCHOOL :
- GROUPIES
You gotta have a group! Or else the whole entire school might question. Don't care if you're the 'Sorority Girls' type or the silent group that sits at the corner of the hall during recess or just some normal girls who questions the way of life. I have experience some of these things myself. But I prefer hanging out with the whole school rather than sticking with that one group that everyone is talking about (good or bad. depends)
- UNIFORM CODE
This is very common in every school but your uniform tells a lot more of you than the first "hello". If you have the all zipped up tidy not above the knee skirt, you are mostly considered the nicest, sweetest and innocent girl in school. Or maybe just a little too innocent. If you're the 3/4 zipped a bit above the knee skirt kinda neat but a little messy, you're with the normal ones. Sometimes you get warned but you just sweep it off. And if you have an unzipped long or above the knee skirt you my friend are considered a gangsta. Not really. But you get the point. You'd get called by the discipline teacher or asked to stand on the stage for a student free reference show. Humiliating. Yes, but we understand. We never make fun of them. Cause they're cool laiddat.
- ADMIRES
We can't blame them for their love interest. I know. There two types. The girl crush or the male teacher crush.
THE GIRL CRUSH. We see none but girls everyday. Even the female teachers are majority than the male (male teachers < female teachers) GIRL POWER! So yeah, it's normal that the juniors or seniors have a tiny crush within them. It's either the girl with the short pixie haircut and cute face or the tomboy ladies girl. They'd send gifts (Chocolates is the top list) everyday or once a week attach with a tiny note to show that they have interest. And tell me! The whole school knows. But we just shush. It's normal. It only last for a couple of months. They change. Or sometimes not. It's the surroundings. My own friends experience it. It's alright.
THE MALE TEACHER CRUSH. You can count the number of male teachers we have! Majority are females! But no biggy. Girls rule! What I mean is, the only opposite sex we see is the male teachers. And only one or two out of 10 of them are the good looking ones ( for a guy that is old enough to be your uncle. I'd pass) Anyway, it's not the kind of crushing so hard kind of thing, it's just a little admiring thing. Normally the juniors would have this weird obsession. Until their 2nd or 3rd year, they understand better. And slowly they move on off to the right path.
- THE OTHER SIDE OF US
We may be schooling in an all girl school and you probably think we act all proper like a princess. YES AND NO. We do act all girly and proper but sometimes we could be a bit wild. No, not when we're having our monthly hormonal changes. Screaming shouting in the class, hair pulling fights, sitting on the table, running here and there like a psycho bitch, lifting up our skirts like a boss (we're all the same species right), changing our uniform in the class like nobody is watching and laying on the floor in the hall, did I mention our hall have hidden cameras and every minute there are students and teachers passing by.. Yeah. We like to go a bit out of the ordinary and let free but we know our limits.
- THE HORROR STORY
Time for a short history! The school I went to was very old. It is one of the oldest school and the first all girl school in town that was establish before WWII.
1922: A convent was built by Franciscan Missionaries of St. Joseph (FMSJ).
1938: School's ground was enlarged due to the increase of students.
1942 - 1945: Due to the blaze of World War Two, all school's activity was halted. On January 1943, all nuns and priests were sent to Kuching, Sarawak until Japan surrendered in August 1945. The war destroyed the school and all its records.
1946 - 1952: The school was rebuilt and all activities resumed as before.
That is some of the early histories of my school. We have this classic horror story that during the world war II, the soldiers would bring the young girls mostly in their teens to their hidden area (which is now our school compound) to rape and kill them. Some said they dumped the bodies in a big hole and leave the corps to rot. They also said their souls roam still roams around the area. There is one more tragic story about a student that killed herself but that is very sensitive to talk about. I rather keep silent. With all this creepy tales we heard, we pass on to generations to generations. My 50 year old aunt even knows about it. We'll never know the truth but we do know our school could be pretty strange sometimes. But the school has been blessed by a priest and we have a church behind so there's nothing to be afraid off now. Relax. It's just a creepy tale.
There are more things to talk about my school. I'll write about that next time. We may be pretty crazy sometimes, that's just a little side of us that we need to express. We're not always like this. Girls school are fun with a lot of exciting activities. Like I said, we deal with hormonal changes every month and frankly speaking there hundreds of us. It's normal. Outside of school we are like basic girls who have a darn good fashion sense, has an interest in the opposite sex, loves adventures and all the awesome things in life. We get a little stress sometimes with the weird rules and stuff.
I hope you like my first post. More to come! Stay tune! And thanks cutie pie!
