Queen Anne's County, Maryland isn't well known to most of the world, but to those of us who grew up here, it's pretty special (or horrible... take your pick). Here's a few things that we can all relate to if we grew up and went to school in QAC.

1. You literally know EVERYONE your age in the whole county because you all went to one high school.

Even though you all went to different elementary and middle schools, they eventually rounded you all up into one place.

Now, before everyone from Kent Island throws hands...

2. If you were from Kent Island, you really didn't consider yourself from QAC (even though you technically were).

I mean, y'all have your own high school... what more do you want?

3. The rivalry between QACHS and KIHS was intense.

Trashing locker rooms, destroying football stadiums, defacing school buildings, YOU NAME IT, WE'VE DONE IT.

4. If any of your friends went to Gunston after middle school, you shunned them (but not really).

What, is public school not good enough for you? IS THAT IT? HUH?!?! IS IT?

5. You probably came across some dead, hunted creature where it shouldn't be at some point (and weren't really phased).

*Sees a dead goose in hallway while walking to class*
*Steps over and keeps walking*

6. There was a 90% chance that your sibling, cousin, or parent went to QA.

Teachers who had been there for 30 years remembered having your parents in classes... scary.

7. There was also a 90% chance that someone with the last name of Bramble, Thompson, Gannon, or Rhodes was in your class.

And it really wasn't rare to meet someone with your last name and think "I know I'm related to you, but I have no idea how."

8. By the time you were a teenager, the county's livelihood surrounded the football team.

Friday only meant one thing: going to the football game with your family. (and making those annoying-ass gravel-filled jugs to shake around and show spirit with... or just be annoying).

9. Getting stuck behind a tractor was a legitimate excuse for being late to school.

It's not their fault that they can only travel 30 mph...

10. It either took you 5 minutes or 30 minutes to drive to school.

If you lived in Centreville, you were in luck. Lived on the outskirts of the county? Yeah, see you never. We won't blame you if you don't show up ever.

11. If you ever skipped class, the furthest you got was the Acme grocery store.

Ok, we've escaped. Now what?

12. Homecoming week was a big deal for you.

You took the Pep Rally and the spirit stick competition VERY. SERIOUSLY.

13. You used the term "chicken necker" very loosely and quite frequently.

Even your friends that had moved to the Shore before they even started kindergarden, you still poked fun of them for being from "the other side". (But you loved them anyway and accepted them).

14. Even though you kind of hated QAC sometimes, going to school there was some of the best years of your life.
