22 Things You'd Only Understand If You Were A Bardstown Tiger

Bardstown, Kentucky. Tourist know of it as "The Most Beautiful Small Town in America," and as "The Bourbon Capital of the World."-- us locals just call it home. Between the four high schools in our town, there is enough rivalry to go around. While everyone thinks that their school or their alma mater is the best, we all know that the best school district is found in the heart of downtown. Bardstown City Schools have shaped me into the person I am today, and I am so lucky to be a tiger. Because of this, there are some things that no one but my fellow tigers would understand..

1. Your wardrobe was/is dominated by purple and gold.

2. You also had a separate part of your closet for polos and khakis.

3. Getting the privilege to wear flip flops in high school was the biggest. deal. ever.

4. You got written up at least once for not having your shirt tucked in or leaving your belt at home.

5. Thursdays were always good lunch days. (Especially when there was nacho grande or salisbury steak on the menu.)

6. Peanut Butter sandwiches and chili day were also the best.

7. Garnis Martin Field holds a special place in your heart.

8. Going to the cave/creek was the coolest thing ever.

9. That lovely red/blue chipped paint playground.

10. The amazing mural in the Elementary School Cafeteria that was like stepping into another world.

11. Moving schools wasn't quite as scary because you were just moving less than 100 yards in the same parking lot.

12. Walking downtown after school with your friends was a normal occurrence.

13. You know who Mr. Howie is and he always managed to make you smile.

14. You know the struggle of parking.

15. That 10 year wait in the nurses office.

16. But never complaining on the wait because it was getting you out of class.

17. The awkwardly short bathroom stalls.

18. Pep Section. Enough said.

19. YOU DON'T WANT NO PURPLE AND GOLD, YOU DON'T WANT NONE. BUT IF YOU WANT SOME PURPLE AND GOLD COME AND *stomps* GET SOME.

20. Eye of the Tiger wasn't just some old song.

21. Your tiger pride isn't something you leave behind when you graduate.

22. You know they truly mean it when they say "Once a tiger, always a tiger."

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
