How You Know You’re A “Cowboy Crazy”

The 15 things you would only know if you were a student at Southwest Guilford High School in High Point, NC.

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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. 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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
