24 Signs That You Went To Prattville High School

1.You probably know about the weave in the tree.

There was literally a big piece of weave in the tree a few years ago. It isn't there now, but if you saw it, you remember it.

2. You have seen Gumbo Ya-Ya at all the football games because she is the real mascot.

She is a fake head on a stick. She comes to all of the games to cheer on her Prattville Lions.


3. You have probably experienced or heard about the traumas of the newspaper project in Murph’s class.

I had to do this, and I am lucky that I still have my friends. Fights have broken out over this project.

4. You whole-heartedly believe that Stanhope has no hope. Zero! None!

If I have to explain this, you did not attend PHS.


5. You know that the walls sweat. Seriously!

When the halls get too humid, the walls sweat. It is so gross and makes your hair frizzy.

6. You know that you have to wear winter clothes in the summer and summer clothes in the winter. There is no comfortable temperature.

Only one unit controls the entire front hallway. So when the air is on, it is freezing. But when the heat is on, you are in a sauna.

7. You know that the library is 10 degrees colder than the hallway.

It is Antartica, so you better bring a jacket.

8. You spent your Friday nights at Stanley-Jensen Stadium cheering on your Prattville Lions.

We have the best team and the best school spirit around. Plus, there is nothing else to do on a Friday night.


9. You probably complained about at least one of the following: no more paper towels, no books, too much work because of new books, too many TVs, or the crazy temperature.

Yes, all of these things are true (*sign*).

10. It is a proven fact that a good chunk of the students cannot drive and/or park.

My car has been hit many times in this parking lot, mainly by car doors. There will be people who park in two parking spaces, or park over the line and will not move. I have even seen someone hit a car on purpose.

11. You know that the parking lot used to be a hazard.

If you went here, you remember the large potholes all over the place. Well, the good news is that part of the parking lot has been paved, but the crazy drives still make it a hazard.

12. You own at least one thing that has a Power P on it.

Sweatshirts, T-shirts and decals! Oh My! If you went to Prattville, you owned something with this iconic symbol on it.


13. You could buy some of the best fresh made cookies for $1.25.

You can smell them all through the halls on the days they are made.

14. You probably spent most of your money in the coffee shop because it is either cold inside or outside. Plus, who doesn’t like coffee or hot chocolate?

I know people who get coffee every day, but why not? It is right there!

15. You know that we always had the best run-through signs at football games.

Do I need to say more? Just look below.


16. You either know the alma mater or you know the part where it says “Prattville High All Hail!”

When you get to this point, you scream it at the top of your lungs.

17. You were probably involved in some kind of club or sport because there are a lot.

I mean a lot. Book clubs, Beta Club, Anime and much more.

18. The word “pod” to describe a hallway is not weird to you.

This is kind of hard to explain, but you probably know what I mean.

19. Winning is in your blood!

We have won five state championship games for football. Plus, many more for many other sports and clubs.

20. For recent graduates, you probably remember your principal’s Elvis impression when singing ‘Happy Birthday.”

21. You probably had a least one teacher who went to school at PHS.

22. Big crowds don’t scare you because you had at least 400 in your graduating class.

That is just at a pep rally, so that is the whole school.


23. You probably said you hated it, but it has a special place in your heart.

24. And as always GOOOOOOO LIONS!

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.

winter

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 want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

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.
