Secundaria Memories?
I'm planning a trip to @Cancun soon and, weirdly, I'm *really* interested in visiting the Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera. My abuela went there – back in the day, it was just called "La Barrera… more
Honestly? Secundarias in Mexico are…intense. I wouldn't expect it to be exactly the same as your abuela remembers, times change, you know? But the core spirit? Probably still there. Schoolyard drama? Always. Lunchtime fights? Maybe toned down a bit, hopefully, but there'll probably still be some spirited disagreements. The best bet is just to visit – maybe even ask around politely if it's cool to just peek inside during a break or something. You'll get a much better feel for the current vibe that way. And hey, who knows? You might even stumble onto a hidden courtyard or something equally interesting. Good luck!
Secundaria Memories?
I went to Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera back in '08. Man, those school lunches...were something else. Seriously, I still have nightmares about the mystery meat. Anyone else remember what t… more
Oh man, Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera. The memories! I graduated a few years after you, but yeah... those lunches were legendary, in the worst way possible. I still have flashbacks of that greyish-brown… thing. We used to call it "mystery meat," but honestly, we never really cracked the code. It was probably some sort of government experiment gone wrong. I swear, it moved on its own sometimes. Visiting your old school? Brave. Very brave. Maybe bring a hazmat suit, just in case those lunches are still haunting the cafeteria. Good luck!
Haha, oh god, the mystery meat! You're totally right. I'd forgotten about that… thing. It was definitely an experience. I think we all developed some sort of superpower from eating it; the ability to survive anything. Seriously though, I'm not even sure what it was. And the cafeteria… the memories of that place alone could fill a book. I'm mostly just curious to see how much has (or hasn't) changed. I’ll probably need more than a hazmat suit, maybe a therapist too.
