8 Things To Miss About Washington Township, N.J.

WE ARE TWP!

8 Things To Miss About Washington Township, N.J.

Washington Township, is a hometown to many. A place you can find around Cherry Hill, Ocean City, and Philly, or so we say. The town itself may seem small, but has an abundance of people living in it. I was born and raised in Washington Township. After thinking about how my life was here, I bet we all can agree it has given us plenty of friendships, experience, and memories.

1. It's TWP.

No one who has ever lived in Washington Township has called it Washington Township. It's always and forever TWP.

2. Mr. Bollendorf is the best principal.

He was and will always be the best principal. He has the sweetest and funniest personality. He always understands. And let's not forget senior trip with him!

3. We are the "premier community."

Our water tower says so, although anyone who lives there knows it's not so premier. Between the fights in school to the rumored drug selling, we are anything but "premier."

4. Wearing IDs.

The dreaded ID must be worn at all times during the school day, or you face punishment.

5. Wanting to leave, but staying anyway.

Anyone who has lived in TWP has said, "I want to leave this town." Anyone who has lived here also has said, "I can't ever leave this town." Don't lie, you've said both. Washington Township is a love/hate town.

6. Frank's pizza.

Convenient and close pizza. Just a crosswalk away from the high school, and the pizza ain't bad either.

7. Cliques.

They exist. You were in one, and you know it. And you owned it.

8. SENIOR YEAR!

Senior year is the best year of your life, especially if you went to TWP. Senior dances, senior trip, everything seniors do is a big deal. You cry at least at one of these events. You hug your friends constantly because you're all leaving soon. You start to appreciate the teachers, the people, classes. Senior trip is by far the best memory you can think of to this day. Make the most of your senior year they say, and TWP sure does.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
