Things Every Maltese Girl Who Went To School In The Late 90s Will Remember

 

Anyone who was in a girls’ school in Malta in the late 90s understands the intricacies of accessorising, the woes of teenage boy-band crushes, and the fear of being terrorised by the teaching staff. #XintKiesħa

Here’s some of the most memorable parts of being in school in the late 90s.

1. Getting through the day without getting these confiscated made you a hero

Hemm x’int liebsa…?

2. Same for these…

In hindsight confiscation was probably the best way to go.

3. Graphic design was way more limited

And kartonċin only came in, like, four colours.

4. And when it came to group projects girls were divided

Into ‘those who own Encarta’ and ‘those who don’t’.

3. Pencils could actually ruin your day

And you have to ask Sarah to lend you a regular pencil after bragging all day about your fancy one.

4. Especially when they were stuck up a troll’s butt

Those things were heavy…

5. Communicating with each other was a lot more creative

Notes about boys you met at Exiles needed to look good.

6. And your future was determined by paper art

7. Three rolls was too much, two wasn’t enough

Four rolls and the nuns would slaughter you.

8. The chunkier the shoe, the cooler you were

Ultimate cool? If you had real Dr. Martens and not fakes.

9. You painted your shoes instead of cleaned them

With a giant TipEx roll-on – and it was weirdly satisfying.

10. You only had one man in your life

And his name was Nick Carter. #AsLongAsHeLovesMe

11. Friendship was everything

And klikka wars were very real.

12. But in the end you could always settle your differences…

…with a good old Spice Girls sticker exchange.
