35 Ways You Know You Went To Deerfield High School

Ah, Deerfield High School, ranked seventh in the state but #1 in our hearts. From fighting for a parking spot to harassing the superintendent or ditching the 12-minute run, Deerfield's alum have definitely experienced it all. So while the only thing "First Class" about Deerfield's students may just be their plane tickets— let's take one last moment of silence for all of those who wore red and gray. Here are the telltale signs that you graduated from Deerfield High School.


1. You knew Tim the security guard.

2. And Pete.

3. Infinite campus provided you with infinite disappointments.


4. The Math department was closer than your friend group.

I mean come on.


5. You got yelled at for sitting more than four to a table in the library.

6. And you trolled the librarians.

7. You got frustrated about having to sit through another hour explanation about the subscription databases.

8. You forgot to bring a jacket to your class in X-hall.

9. You got Upper crust on late starts.

10. You asked to a dance with a cookie cake.

11. You harassed former superintendent George Fornero for a snow day.

12. Your Spanish teacher performed during Deerfield Idol.

13. You looked for Mr. Forrester or Mr. Rigler on the right side of Perry's at Lollapalooza.


14. You graduated with less than 10 African American classmates.

15. You ditched class to nap in the dungeon (aka nurse's office).

16. You longed for the days of the courtyard.

17. You had Tross Boss as your substitute.

18. You got a little too into the dress ups for basketball games.

19. You changed your Facebook name to a pun as a senior.

And then didn't like what you chose, but needed to wait 60 days until you were able to change it back.

20. You were pretty sure that the cafe cookies have cocaine in them.

21. You bought Seroogy bars from the Badminton team.

22. You created drama when a senior boy asked a younger girl to prom.

23. You were too scared to walk through the blocks as a freshman.

24. You made a mole for chemistry.

And there is a good chance you are Jewish.

25. If you played a sport, you had to sit through the Ruiz meetings.

26. Your hand print is on this wall.

27. You forgot homeroom breakfast at least once, and it was terrifying.

28. You told your teachers you were going to the bathroom but really went to get food from the cafeteria or meet up with your friends.

29. You are somehow connected in this "family tree."

And you should be extra proud if you're not.

30. Your locker was covered in decorations of the college you were attending.

31. You wrote a letter-to-your-future-self in this fashion.

32. 100 days made you cry.

33. You were a little too comfortable with your teachers and how you contacted them.

34. You needed to be held back from fighting the enemy: Highland Park.

35. Your senior will was written in code.

36. And finally, you appreciate your great education but are happy to put those high school days behind you.

And a quick special shout out to the class of 2015.

Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

1. People assume you are mad all of the time.

2. Ten out of ten times you will give off an intimidating impression to others.

3. People do not acknowledge your feelings because you "do not have any."

4. Constantly being exhausted from trying to smile and not look like a witch.

5. And on the rare occasion your facial expressions show how happy you are, your friends think you are going crazy.

6. Each of your friends has said "I thought you were so mean when I first met you" at some point.

7. Then they follow that by saying "you are just hard to read."

8. So naturally if people do not know you they just assume you are a snob.

9. And when you are actually mad, your facial expressions are horrifying.

10. In the end you always look like you are judging people, when in reality people are ALWAYS judging you.
