30 Signs You Went To Saint Mark's High School
Richard McFarland Photography

If you went to Saint Mark's High School, you definitely remember both the awesome memories and the many struggles of your one-of-a-kind high school experience. There are so many little things that set Saint Mark's apart from every other school in Delaware and make it very unique.

Here are just some of the signs that you went to Saint Mark's:

1. You thought it was completely normal for girls to wear tights under their gym shorts.


2. A day with spicy chicken for lunch was a good day no matter what.


3. So was a day with big cookies.


4. You understood that a dress down day meant that you could only wear a Saint Mark's t-shirt, specific colored sweats or jeans and that yoga pants were NEVER an option.


5. You never understood why you weren't allowed to sit in your car in the parking lot if you got to school early.


6. You owned a Go Green shirt/Spartan Strong.


7. You didn't think it was weird to pray at the beginning of every class (every 45 minutes).


8. You knew that going to "Welcoming Committee" in the morning wasn't exactly a welcoming experience.


9. You didn't mind having mass every month because you jammed out the Hallejulah song and had shortened classes for the rest of the day.


10. You would take the longer route to get to class just so you could walk through fish hallway.

11. It was the end of the world when the start time of school changed from 8:15 a.m. to 8 a.m., and the end time changed from 2:41 p.m. to 2:45 p.m.


12. You hated when we had to start wearing lanyards, but did it anyway because they were useful for holding your schedule and your friends' senior pictures.


13. You knew it was a good day if you didn't get caught without a sweater during winter dress code.


14. Seeing your birthday sign on the fence every year reassured you that you had good friends.


15. You understood how serious our rivalry was with Sallies.


16. You were terrified of Ms. Brown at first, but then you realized she's the greatest lady on Earth.


17. You remember waking up at 5 a.m. to hang out with your entire class before school the day of pep rally senior year.



18. If you didn't win the spirt stick your senior year, it was the end of the world for months.


19. You were mad if you didn't exceed the Magazine Drive goal and get an extra day off after Thanksgiving Break.


20. You understood the importance of having a skirt that was the perfect length.


21. You went all out for Welcome Dance every year.


22. You almost got into a car wreck in the parking lot or on the driveway multiple times.


23. You refused to carry around more than two books at a time because having a "freshmen backpack" was frowned upon.


24. You had your backpack "nugged" a few times.


25. You thought it was ridiculous that you got detention for having a rip or run in your tights.


26. You had a designated lunch lady cashier that you went to every day.


27. Having your locker zip tied shut was one of the worst feelings ever.


28. More than half of your graduating class went to college at the University of Delaware.


29. You were eager to donate to the SEAS toy room and reach the goal because you could not stand hearing "Dominick the Donkey" blasted at lunch.


30. You swore you would not miss Saint Mark's after graduation, but sometimes you definitely still do.

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…
