High school was hard, for a few different reasons. Now that you're an adult, take comfort in the fact that OneDrive is there to preserve all of your digital possessions — and none of your old poetry.
1.Then: It was pretty easy to get away with the whole "dog ate my homework" thing.

Now: You'd pull up the WebMD page for mononucleosis and all of a sudden be an expert symptom faker.
3.Then: You were super excited to get a letter from your pen pal in Australia.

Now: You'd be unceremoniously stuffed into a locker, and the photo evidence would end up on stuffedinalocker.tumblr.com.
5.Then: You left your backpack at the mall and now it's gone and so is about a semester's worth of work, and your life is over.
Now: You'd leave your backpack at the mall and — oh well! Everything's saved in that cloud thing, so whatever.

Now: Instant messaging, texting, @replies, direct messaging, Tumblr questions...
8.Then: If you had the coolest car, you ruled the school.
Now: If you had a promising startup concept, you'd rule the school.
9.Then: You would spend hours decorating a mix CD you made for your crush.
