9 Things Only Boaz High School Graduates Will Understand

Boaz High School / Twitter

Every high school has their quirks and things that make them unique. Boaz High School is unique in its own way. Here are a few things that only graduates from BHS will understand.

1. Freda

The best janitor in the history of janitors. If you need new pants or a prom dress, Freda can hook you up.

2. The Stairs

It's inevitable that every student will fall up and down the stairs at least 5 times in the 4 years you are there.

3. The Vending Machines

There is nothing like forgetting breakfast and going to the vending machine, only to find out that it's locked and you have to wait until 9:30 to get something to eat.

4. The Black Army

There is no student section like the Black Army. Pro Tip: If you go to a football game, don't sit behind the Black Army unless you want baby powder in your face.

5. Spirit Olympics

It doesn't matter how much your class drives you crazy, on the day of spirit Olympics, all 130 of them are your best friends.

6. Homecoming Alma Mater

It has been a tradition at BHS for as long as I can remember. At the homecoming pep rally, every senior get on the floor, sings the alma mater, and at the end, runs in the middle form a mosh pit. You could lose a shoe or break a leg, no one knows the outcome.

7. Chicken Finger Wednesdays

Chicken Finger Wednesdays are the best days.

8. Football Games

There is no better way to spend your Friday night than to spend it at L.F. Corley Jr. Stadium.

9. The Community

The best part about being a graduate of Boaz High School is the family you make while attending. You form friendships that will last a lifetime. I am so proud to say that I am a Boaz High School Graduate.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
