5 Ways You Know You Went To Oak Creek High School

We aren't just identifiable by our royal blue.

5 Ways You Know You Went To Oak Creek High School

Oak Creek, Wisconsin—nothing too special on a map. However, our high school is something else and a time in our lives that we will never forget no matter how hard we try. Here are the five ways that everyone knows you were a Knight.

1. Your pride for Oak Creek Athletics has not diminished since you have graduated.

During your time at Oak Creek it is guaranteed that you took part in at least one killer football, volleyball, swim, track, baseball, or basketball season; and if you didn't, that means you witnessed far more than one. Let's be honest, you've made it back to the stadium for at least one homecoming game.

2. Who is Franklin?

The rivalry will always be strong. During high school we continued to find ways to compete against each other, whether it was through athletics, raising money for Relay for Life, or just flat out debating who was better (usually on Twitter).

3. Your closet is still predominantly royal blue.

It seems as though we never wore blue until we embarked on our time at OCHS. Then twice a week we were buying fan of shirts and being given more gear to show off our Knight's pride. Now that we are out of high school, our wardrobe struggles to stay alive because unfortunetly it is not socially acceptable to wear only blue, white, and black.

4. You wish you could relive another Homecoming Week just for the fun of it.

Undoubtably this was the best time of each school year. Homework seemed to stop for a short time, rules were given a bit more slack, and everyone, including the teachers, were having more fun. Whether you were dressed like a baby, jungle animal or decked out in all green, there is no denying the camaraderie and positive energy that surrounded the high school during this time. Plus, you can't deny how long you patiently waited to finally be a senior so you were able to wear black on color day without being stared at like you just committed a heinous crime.

5. We had the best student section... by far.

As Fridays rolled around, it was guaranteed that we would be at the games rain or shine, sleet or snow. The stands were always filled to maximum capacity to cheer on our football team— and you better believe that you were in the appropriate spot based on your grade.

Let's be honest, when we were in high school we wanted nothing more than the time to go faster, but now I think most of us would kill to 'Go Bananas' one last time. #OnceAKnightAlwaysAKnight

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
