There are people who clicked on this article because they went to Big Walnut and there's people who clicked on this article because they go there now. (We're just not going to acknowledge the clump of people who clicked on this while thinking, "What the hell is Big Walnut? Someone named a school 'Big Walnut?'") In any case, regardless of if you're still there or long gone, I think that we can all agree that while Big Walnut has its faults, it was home to some of the best (and worst) memories of our lives.

1. You still have scars from the "cheese grater" walls in the hallway.

Who honestly thought that lining the walls with sharp stones was a good idea?

2. Drum-line was more fun than any party that you attended.

It was so fun that, eventually, a police officer or staff member had to stand in the middle of the student section so that there would be no pushing.

3. You've gotten the strangest looks when telling people about where you went to high school.

Big Walnut sounds so casual to you and to the people who lived around the area, but if you try dropping, "I graduated from Big Walnut," into a conversation with someone new, it doesn't go well. Often they say, "Wait, what did you just say? Big what?" Then you have to respond with, "Big nut."

4. Your road rage developed within the parking lot.

I'm pretty sure that everyone's ability to drive was revoked upon entering the school parking lot.

5. The Rage Cage was always going strong, no matter how good or bad we were.

The Big Nut spirit could never be tamed, whether we were 0-10 or 10-0. Our no-win records were cheered for just as loudly as our best records.

6. You could need a personalized fan to keep yourself from sweating through your clothes at one end of the building and then could get frostbite somewhere else.

I think that every classroom had at least a 10 degree difference.

7. It was pretty much expected for the basement to smell like formaldehyde.

If it didn't, it had an entirely different smell that wasn't much better.

8. You questioned the sanitation of the drinking fountain water every time that you drank it.

If you just drank straight out of it, there was no problems, but as soon as you filled a water bottle with it, you could tell how cloudy it was. You had to stay hydrated somehow, I guess.

9. You knew the names and last names of almost every person in your class.

Most of them we people who you'd known since elementary school, so you knew who their parents were and probably had a vague idea of where they lived.

10. You just tell people you're from Columbus, because there's no use asking if they know where Sunbury is.

It's just easier.

11. You know what I mean if I say, "the neighborhood behind McDonalds and Wendy's" and you probably don't know what it is actually called.

Seriously, unless you live there, you probably refer to that neighborhood solely as what fast food restaurants it is behind.

12. You know the custodians by name and consider them to be some of the nicest people at the school.

Shout out to Gene!

13. You either remember saying "Old/Young" Mr. Elliott or, more recently, "Old/Young" Mr. Smith.

I'm sure that the "old" Mr. Elliott and Mr. Smith truly appreciated that.

14. The hardest decision that you had to make was who was going to hand you your diploma.

There were so many good teachers and faculty members to choose from. We even had dogs on staff.

15. You have probably gotten in trouble for inappropriate dancing or clothing.

In the morning, deciding whether or not you'd wear leggings became a question of, "Is it worth being comfortable for a few hours to get sent home and miss class? Yes, yes it is." While, as much as the faculty tried, you can't stop students from getting their freak on at school dances. Let us live.

16. You still cringe when you hear the name "Olentagy."

No matter how old you get and how far you roam, that school is still the worst.

17. You had a different principal at least twice while at the high school.

No one goes through principals faster than Big Walnut.

18. You are confused as to why the "wall of fame" is in a hall way and the "hall of fame" is on a wall.

How does that make any sense? Also, at the time that I graduated in 2014, the "hall of fame" in the atrium was still completely empty.

19. You, at some point, had to head to the auditorium for a presentation on the dangers of nude photos.

It got to the point where you saw a sign like the one below when walking into the auditorium and you were like, "yeah makes sense, we haven't had a presentation about it this month."

20. As much as you hated it sometimes, there's nowhere that you would have rather gotten your diploma from.

The old Big Nut had its faults, but in the end, you will carry at least a little bit of that eagle pride no matter where you go.
