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.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
