Back-to-school season is upon us, and that can only mean one thing: tweeting about those glorious, torturous years. Whether you're a teacher, a student, or someone who just misses learning, you'll definitely appreciate some of the tweets under #IfAnythingSchoolTaughtMe, where people are posting about the real lessons they learned.
Most of the tweets are hilarious and too true, like taking long bathroom breaks or learning how to multitask without your teacher finding out. Others focus on regrets, like girls who can't believe they missed out on a day of their education because of a dress code. Whatever your school experience was like, these tweets will make you laugh and remember a simpler time in your life.
