@Rubies: brown noser or teacher's pet

OMG to brainer!!

As a teen I was just a nerd. No rebellion at all. I got sick of that once I got to college, though. No more nerd.

@Rubies: I don't know what kids call it now..! I can't remember if we used any terms to describe "those" kids back in the day either. Nerd, geek, brown-noser? I forget!

I dont think I really had any phases. Well I mean I was a pretty big tom boy. I wore boy clothes until about HS, then fianlly started to "girl" up a little. LOL Other than that was pretty outgoing and volunteered a lot and always did good in school!

In middle school I tried so hard to be cool. I wore the short skirts, listened to rap, and stuffed my bra.

In high school I finally started becoming more myself, and was a band geek. In 12 grade I was very into getting good grades and I was a goody goody. We had one teacher who was very..... stupid. She was old and didn't remember what she assigned and when. I would always do my homework on time, but everyone else in the class wouldn't do it and would try to tell the teacher that she never assigned the work. Well I thought that was mean and I didn't want to have done all of that homework for nothing, so I would tell her that she did assign it and hand my homework in. Needless to say, everyone in the class hated me, and some even called me some really mean names.

In college I became crazy about getting A's. A-'s weren't ok, if I was going to get an A- I would ask if I could redo something or turn in some extra credit. I was always studying. Which I now regret, nobody cares that I had deans list all through college, it's not getting me any further in life. I also took a lot of art classes so I started dressing more artsy fartsy and less preppy because people there didn't judge. I loved it.

I was a good kid mostly - super involved, good at school, did what I was told. I was realllllly concerned with popularity and peer approval in HS. I struggled with an eating disorder and was friends with your standard Mean Girls clique. I drank a bit, snuck out after curfew once, had serial boyfriends but mostly just teased them terribly, and was super social - stereotypical teenage girl stuff (boys, clothes, lipgloss, etc). I was really outgoing with my friends and a terrible brat to my parents.

I'm glad I outgrew all that!

I went through a total rebellious phase in high school. I dyed my hair w/ streaks of red or blue, got my nose pierced, started sitting in the back of the classroom, and tried to act like I didn't care. Fortunately I still cared enough to pull off decent grades. Sometime around the end of sophomore year I realized that I wanted to go to a really good college, and then I started to shape up. Luckily I still had time to pull myself back together, and now I'm super preppy and have a Ph.D. from an ivy league university. Talk about a 180!

i think i was pretty consistent growing up.... until like college and after college, where i got a bit rebellious. but i think i'm back to my tame self.
