What was your niche in high school?

[ZephyrHawk]

I was queen of the geeks. In my school, geeks were prevalent enough they had their own sort of subtle clique, and I was the one determining who got to sit at our lunch table. However, I was also one of those people who was in every club, so I was a drama geek, a chorus geek, a science club nerd, a NHS preppie, you name it. Oh, and I basically ran my school's tiny equestrian team, which was about the least geeky thing I did, so I guess you could call me a horse jock as well.

I was a smart kid and band geek who also played tennis (which had no redeeming quality in a country hick town and was probably on the same social standing as the band, haha).

The invisible niche. I didn't get involved in any sports or clubs and had a small circle of friends.
I went to school during the disco age of which most of the students liked while I was into rock. I found them so annoying.

Geek? Popular? Misfit? Athlete? Prep? (i'm aging myself on that one) Artistic? Brain? Dork? Band geek?

I'm a proud former band geek.

Someone asked on FB the other day who considered themselves popular in school. It was SO interesting to hear everybody's perspectives on it -- especially when they felt they were something than what other people viewed them as!

Hrm....I was a preppy, band geek, drama geek who was popular in the geek crowd. *laugh* Does that make sense?

I did color guard during marching season and winter guard, and also played the tuba in Winter. I actually started on euphonium, but switched to tuba my junior year because there were very few girl tuba players at the time and I wanted to be a rebel. *laugh* I was very tiny in HS, so carrying around that giant tuba is why I always dated a guy from the drum line, so they could do it for me. Well, that and the color guard and the drum line just seem to go together. I married a trombone player (not from my school or state!) though. I guess the old saying is true.....date the drum line, but marry the brass.

My group called ourselves "The Meatloaf." We were such a mixture. We had the tiny, cute cheerleader, the marching band geeks, the jock (me), the artsy, and the kind of social rejects. We weren't the most popular kids, but we weren't the social rejects either. We were the inbetweens..lol

I was a band geek. I never thought that people outside the band even knew who I was because I moved their as a Freshman. Imagine my surprise when a few years ago I was out to dinner in Boston with DH for a company thing with his job and our waitress was one of the girls from the "popular crowd" and she knew who I was! She was in med school at the time.

My DH was a jock in high school but got along with everyone in general though he was the football player who used to aim at the band members and run toward them off the field. Nice ....

In HS I was a yearbooker, all 4 years back when did everything by hand, and got 8 pages of color! I got along with everyone, but was especially popular when I had the yearbook camera(we had a single Pentax) in my hand!
Mostly though I was a youth group kid and all of my social life revolved around the church.

My father always said that I could go to the bonfire on Friday night and the Country Club on Saturday night!


Either way was a party for me! I was really just a stoner!
