Things you used to do at school that would be SUPER weird now

Honestly: it was a fantastic but strange time. A time when obligations didn't exist yet, there were posters of Jim Bakkum on your wall and you weren't allowed out on the weekend until all the chairs were on the tables. Whether you were the class nerd or the ultimate rebel: you did weird things. Things that would simply be ridiculous in daily life now. Like this.

1. Making glue balls. Sniffing glue. Doing weird things with glue in general. Smearing your hands and pulling the skin off in one go.

2. Passing notes around the class with your top 3 favorite people in it. Back then = totally normal. Now = crushed egos and instant arguments in the workplace.

3. Running like crazy to the V&D to be the first to buy the Hitkrant/Penny horse agenda, only to completely cover the front with wrapping paper so you couldn't even see what kind of agenda it was.

4. Thanking God on your bare knees when you went monkeying around in gym class. WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE.

5. Arguing with classmates because Niels had unlawfully obtained Latifa's Pokémon card. To the bonfire with that idiot.

6. Annoying your neighbor by ringing the doorbell and asking if you could have money in exchange for putting her trash can ‘outside for her’ or bringing glass to the recycling bin.

7. Holding your calculator upside down and then making ‘LOL + LOL = HIHI'.

8. Collecting fountain pen balls in your ‘drawer’.

9. Oh, and: your pencil case. It had to express your personality with all your friends on it.

10. As soon as the first person heard that a teacher was sick, the bell tree (a.k.a. phone chain) went into action. Do we still remember this? That thing never worked well, which meant someone was always standing in front of a closed door during the first hour. Awh.

11. Boys grabbing girls. In this #metoo era, it might not even be called that anymore. And WHY: ‘grabbing’? And why not: girls grabbing boys?

12. Having a different boyfriend or girlfriend every day.

13. How weird: passing around a friends book and forcing everyone to write compliments to make your narcissistic self feel good.

14. Imagine if you could only pee with a pee chain on. Anyway: you get my point. Some things would be really weird now.

P.S.: These nostalgic children's series you would almost forget that time.
