21 Things Only DEO Students Will Understand

There’s no denying that DEO graduates are fortunate enough to get into the best universities from all around the world and you can definitely spot them in a huge crowd. But there are some things that they’ve all learned, experienced or felt that somehow unites them.

Growing up in this school, it has become a home to every single one of us. We share so many qualities, like our extreme dedication to what we’re passionate about and, of course, our loyalty to this school and its people. This is why you will always find DEO graduates – no matter in which part of the world they are – always coming back together.

Here are thing you’ll definitely relate to if you went to DEO:

 

 

1. Whichever day you have PE class, it will be dedicated to wearing sweatpants for the rest of the year

 

Because changing is just too much effort!

This guy will always have a special place in your heart.

9. Standing in line for hours to buy the Adventskalender from the “Weihnachtsbasar”

 

And eating the whole thing on your way back home instead of one a day.

 

 

10. You must have written at least 25 essays in your lifetime about whether or not DEO should apply a uniform

 

According to writers from https://buyessaynow.com service, 25 essays are the minimum number of completed tasks you should write. The bigger the number, the better actually. What else are we supposed to write about for pro and con essay exercises?

Lazem ne7ot el touch beta3na.

13. Sozialkomitee

 

Whether you contributed by buying Chipsy and wafer packs or donating money, you must’ve helped someone in need.

 

 

14. Cursing the day you have to take the stairs all the way to Biology class

 

Three floors for a biology class?! WHY?

 

 

15. You will never forget the rotten smell of the Weihnachtsbasar cheese

 

Seriously, what is wrong with that cheese??

Even if the school is on fire, you still have to go!

 

 

19. You must remember these threats: “hawadik le ostaz mounir, ha3melak ested3a2 waley amr, TADEL, Klassenbucheintrag”

 

And the most effective one: “Komm, wir gehen jetzt zu Fr. Gomaa.”

 

 

20. You must have had at least one very close friend you had to say goodbye to because they were moving abroad

 

I guess you can say we’re all used to this by now.
