10 Signs You Went to Braintree High School
Taunton Gazette

Braintree, Massachusetts is your typical suburban town, only better. There is something about Braintree that makes everyone who is lucky enough to call it their home. We all have have pride in where we are from. Braintree is the one place that brings us all together. Braintree High School does an amazing job making sure we have a high school experience we could never forget. Here are 10 signs you were a Wamp.

1. Whenever you hear the word PRIDE, you instantly think of the acronym that was hammered in our minds throughout all of high school.

P-Partnership

R-Respect and Responsibility

I-Involvement

D-Diversity

E-Educational Excellence.

As hard as we try, Mr. Swanton, Mr. Lee, and the House Masters never let us forget this.

2. Every time someone asks what your school mascot is, you have to explain what it is.

The "Wamp" name comes from the Massachusetts Indian Nation, known as Wampatuck, which Braintree shortened to Wamp..."but you wouldn't understand what it really means."

3. Your favorite breakfast comes from the one and only Kristen's or the amazing Olympian Diner.

Choosing where to go for breakfast shouldn't be that hard, but when it comes to Wamps, choosing between the two best diners in the whole town is the hardest descision of the day. Nothin' like hitting up Kristen's on a day you have Senior Privileges.

4. Your favorite lunch is a number three from Rosie's Pizzeria.

There's something about the sweet yet spicy taste of a Rosie's Buffalo Chicken Sandwhich. I mean, who can say no to a number three?

5. Your favorite week throughout all of the school year is Spirit Week.

As an incoming freshman at the high school, we didn't understand how much we would love this week. Four years later, we see how this week brings not only our sports teams together, but the whole school. Dressing up all week for the different themes given by Student Council...who knew we'd get so into it? Don't forget about the pep rally, the one day in the year that the four classes get together and celebrate being a Wamp while wishing the Football team good luck during their Homecoming game.

6. Cheesy Bagels.

As disgusting as it may sound, cheesy bagels are the BEST on a Monday morning. For those who don't know: a cheesy consists of a few pieces of cheese, melted onto a bagel. (Yellow cheese is better than white) As hard as you try, you cannot make them as well as BHS.

7. Your favorite day of the year is Braintree Day.

aka Fourth of July. Do I even have to explain?

8. Your favorite thing to do is support your sports teams.

Nothing like Wamp Nation hopping onto the Red Line, heading into the Garden to support our friends in their biggest game of the year.

9. You will forever bleed Blue and White.

I think we can all proudly say that we are proud of where we are from. Who else would be so proud to be a Wamp that they'd take a selfie at graduation? Once a Wamp, Always a Wamp.


10. You are proudly a part of Wamp Nation.

THE BEST fan base in all of the world.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
