Summary
Every time I mention I went to boarding school, people are like "WOAH WOAH WOAH, please explain!"
So here's a primer on boarding school, why we loved it, what was hard, and why we think our friendship is still so strong despite not having lived in the same place for more than 15 years.
We also get into:
* A basic, 101-level intro to boarding school
* Different “houses” on campus and their reputations
* A typical day
* Sneaking out, making out, and navigating the “strike” (disciplinary) system
* What I was like in high school
* Pros and cons and how the experience shaped us
