Happy graduation to all the high school graduates out there! As Tina mentioned yesterday, to help celebrate we will be highlighting a few things about our high school years. Should be fun! Plus, comment each day for chances to win the $25 Amazon.com gift card Tina is giving away!This is me when I graduated high school. Sorry it's blurry. Anyway, I think one thing we can see from all these high school photos, regardless of how fuzzy they are, is that I had bad hair. I'm not sure if this is just the way it is, kind of like how no matter how hard we try to choose bridesmaid dresses that are actually pretty and can be worn again someday (yeah, right), or if it's just me. I slept in curlers or braids to give my straight hair more volume and oh, man, those bangs! Straight across and puffy, not a good look! Additionally, I sometimes wore a bow in my hair when I played sports (don't even get my husband started on that one).
In the next photo, you'll see the front of my alma mater, Araphahoe High School in Littleton, Colorado. I'm here with my friend, Amy, showing our school spirit. Yep, big hair. And I chose to share the (bottom) photo of us in our fancy dresses (big hair again) 
because prom is another huge highlight of the high school years. However, since I didn't have a boyfriend, my girl friends and I would grab a few guys from other schools and go in a big group. At the time, I was sad no one asked me, but now, I realize going with friends might've been more fun anyhow. So while I regret my high school hair-styling choices, I don't regret going to dances with friends.

If you've already graduated high school, is there something that at the time you were happy about but now you regret (like your hair) or something you regretted back then but now are happy about (like going to dances with friends instead of a boyfriend)? If you're still in high school, what about your junior high years?

Adorable pictures, Wendy! And you know, my hair was a lot less manageable in high school, too. (Darker, too...hmmm...somehow I think I know the "root" of that...)
Cute pics!!
Love the pics, Wendy. One thing I regret about high school is that I worked a lot and missed out on some activities. I will never let my kids have a job during the school year because hs goes so fast already!
Cute pictures! The only thing I regret about H.S. was that I didn't seem to have as much fun as I should have in the last few years. But, I loved my friends!! Never can regret those wonderful people.
How adorbs is High School Wendy?? :)
I think we all regret our high school hair, don't we? I guess if you didn't, then I kind of hate you. But I digress. :)
I regret going to prom, etc., with boyfriends and not allowing my friendships with my girl friends to grow a little more. I think you were on the right track!
I definitely regret how...unfortunately I dressed. Although, once I got into college, it's like a fairy came down and gave me a fashion sense :)
I moved in the middle of high school and I regret not graduating with the people I grew up with, it would have been a lot more fun.
