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.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
