I think generally Yorktown is better for girls than boys. It's hard to be an academically high-achieving, unathletic boy at Yorktown.

It's also hard to be a non-skinny, non-Ugg wearing, non-makeup wearing girl [in high school].

They're still wearing Uggs? What?!? I mean, I get that they're sort of a winter staple because they are warm and cozy, but they're not "fashion," are they?
