I had that exact train of thought because my situation was exactly as yours in high school. Piling in now is so funny because it does feel like you are breaking the rules, when no one is looking over your shoulder to ensure you don't.

This story would have been far more entertaining if it ended with your coworkers giving you weird looks as you stuffed yourself in the trunk. :)

P.S. I've been in the trunk before too... and only afterwards did I realize how freaking dangerous that was! What was I thinking! What if we were rear-ended? (See, now I'm a big old fun-sucker.)

this post brought a smile to my face cause as a freshman in college i was the only one of my friends with a car the second semester and man did i cram a ton of people in my little nissan sentra. trunk and all.

Hahaha!! What an awesome way to go shopping! I agree, it's not nearly as exciting as it used to be, even with company. Something about making grocery runs to Wall Mart at 2 in the morning also made it more of an experience.

Can you imagine the awkwardness that might have ensued had your friend been pulled over during such a trip??

[Noise from trunk]

Officer: "What's that?"

Erin: "What's what?"

Officer: "...You got something in your trunk?"

Erin: "...Why, no. Of course not."

Officer: "Why don't we have a look?"

Erin: "Ehh..."

I miss those days. Sometimes my friends and I over take a local store and become completely goofy and take fun pictures. It reminds that sometimes you just have to have to escape adulthood.

You were a junior and got to hang out with seniors?!!?

Dammit, you were cool. I was not.

Wow, I don't know if I could handle riding in a trunk like that. I was usually the chauffeur, so when we have to cram people in, we'd usually double people up (2 small people in the front) or have someone lay across everyone else. Also, we'd try to cram 4 in the backseat too.

My favorite, non-traditional spot in a car is in the bed of a pickup truck. I remember, during one of the shows I did in high school, one of my friends had a pickup truck and I'd get a ride home from him a lot. He said he'd give me a ride but I'd have to lie down in the bed but I jumped at the chance. I could look up at the stars- it was really fun! Definitely not the same as riding in a trunk though, haha

Hi, Nice post! I'm 60 YO and have never gotten above 18, really. How? Laugh a lot, figured out how to work half-time all my working life, stayed thin enough to wear cool clothes, found ways to get out of myself and connect with different people, best of all- follow what you love, love, love. -- and laugh a lot :+)

Ben - You're the best! Thank you for pointing that out - I just clarified it (and thanks for the compliment!!) Only seniors were able to eat off campus and I was only a lowly junior. Sigh!

Love this post but I have to ask, why did you have to sneak off campus in High School? Why did they check IDs and why did your friend have one but you didn't? I don't get it!
