1. “Freshman Tendencies”

Leave it to Mr. Brown to call you out anytime you had your phone out, didn’t complete your homework, or even just talked in class. We will never get that voice out of our heads.

2. Boulton’s many memorable quotes

“Seven piece of pizza dudes,” “If you were a tree, what tree would you be?,” “Two rowboats and a dingy,” “Rocket fuel,” and many MANY more.

3. Diamonds Down!

Blue diamonds are a no-go. Even if our children went to Ragsdale (God forbid), we would still dress in all green and throw our upside-down diamonds in the air.

4. AP world still gives you nightmares.

Is there a pop quiz? IS THERE A POP QUIZ?!

5. Shark week wasn’t as fun at SWHS as it is on the Discovery Channel

Nothing was worse than walking through the C building during second semester and being slapped in the face by the stench of dead sharks during dissection week.

6. “The building blocks of life!”

*Waves hands frantically*

7. Athletics

Basketball, soccer, lacrosse, tennis, swimming, football, wrestling, track and field, baseball, softball, and band all had amazing athletes. We were truly blessed with the girls and boys who got a chance to participate and represent the Cowboys so well.

8. Your jean to khaki ratio is way off.

14:3 if you would like a clear idea.

9. You chose your foreign language solely off of the teacher.

Ms. Hagler is teaching French? Well, okay!

10. Everyone is on the swim team… everyone.

Oh, you’re on the swim team? Same.

11. You’re pissed about the rule change.

What do you mean “any color” collared shirt!?

12. Friday night lights

The rush of the spirit from the cowboy crazies, the pep from the band, and the game of football makes for a perfect Friday night.

13. Parking lot memories

Fights, laughs, crashes and cliques. Oh, and let's not forget the annual senior prank of vandalization with car paint!

14. You’ll never forget Mr. Parker

The announcement of Mr. Parker's retirement was more heartbreaking than you would’ve ever thought.

15. “Land of the free and the home of the… COWBOYS!”

Keep it crazy.

Even Shonda Rhimes, winning creator and executive producer of the hit TV shows Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, and The Catch agrees that relationships with fictional characters are real. In her book, The Year of Yes she states, "I have spent more time with Meredith and Christina then many of my actual friends...When you watched TV, even spending a full hour with Christina once a week, you were likely spending more time with her then you spent with most people in your life. That relationship was real."

Going to the gym and working out on a daily basis (with breaks once in awhile) has been a great way for me to feel good about myself. It is 100% more than just looking good. Especially after starting college and having the stress and anxiety of tests, assignments, and just figuring out my future, the gym at my school has definitely been a place of relief for me and I have numerous reasons of why everyone should push themselves to get to the gym when they can.

Oh college, lovely, lovely college. A four-year time span that is filled with many highs and many lows. Between procrastinating on an essay that is due at midnight to getting your first library card (if you know what I mean), college is a time that you should not take for granted, yet it is also a time where you feel like your entire world is falling apart. It is a time where one day you can feel like you are on top of the world and then the next day you are 500 feet below the ground surface.
