1) There is never a shortage of keys and newspapers at pep rallies.

Jingle your keys at the freshman and hold those newspapers up at the juniors! Pep rallies senior year are all the more fun when it's finally your time to carry on these traditions.

2) The Morning Buzz

Everyone looks forward to tuning in to the announcements on a Friday morning because not only does it mean 1st period is shortened, but it also means that it's time to watch some seriously hilarious video segments and start your day off with a good laugh.

3) Homecoming week means decorated halls

E hall is for freshmen, F hall for sophomores, G hall for juniors, and of course, H hall for seniors. It's time to get into the homecoming spirit when all the halls are covered from ground to ceiling with festive homecoming themed decorations!

4) Who needs soap and toilet paper, anyways?

The majority of the school bathrooms are disgusting and soapless. Unless you head to the bathroom at the top of E hall, you better have some hand sanitizer at your disposal. Never use the middle stall, because chances are it hasn't been flushed. Best part: there's always some juicy gossip to read on the walls! Remember, if you need to know which guys to avoid, head to the first stall in D hall and you'll have a nice long list.

5) Burnett or Granville?

Quite possibly the two most loved and talked about teachers in the school. Let's be honest here, you're either a Granville or Burnett person. If you took biology, chemistry, or physics of any kind, chances are you had one these two teachers. After 30 years, you'd think they'd be tired, but I guess when you love your job and students, you don't work a day in your life, eh? I know I'll always be grateful for the 2 years I spent in Mr. Burnett's classroom, taking notes from the overhead projector, doing the weekly Friday labs, and listening to all the funny things he would say.

6) Muck Filton, am I right?

Each football game brings about a whole lot of hornet pride, however there is no comparison when it comes to the school spirit that even the middle schoolers and parents possess when it's time to face our greatest rival: Milton High School. All wins are important, but beating Milton brings a little bit more satisfaction and joy than any other. Okay, a lot more satisfaction and joy.

7) Flour isn't just for baking

After a frantic rush to get your hands on some flour and get in position to toss it up, it can finally feel like a Friday night. It's not a kickoff in the Ray Manus Stadium if you're not covered from head to toe in flour, and there's nothing like going around giving hugs to and hand printing people square on the back who didn't get to be a part of the big white flour cloud!

8) On Fridays, seniors wear camo

You know you're a senior when the first Friday rolls around and for the first time, after watching seniors parade the halls for three years prior, you finally get to walk the halls decked out in as much camo as you can get your hands on. No one is officially an RHS senior until that Friday.

9) 1st and 10 Hornets!

Perhaps the most famous four words ever spoken at a Roswell football game. It's time to get excited when you hear "1st and 10 Hornets!" across the stadium from our beloved announcer of 18 years, David Burnett. There is no one who is more dedicated and passionate than he when it comes to Hornet football; it's not a home game without Mr. Burnett's voice radiating around.

10) Once a Roswell Hornet, always a Roswell Hornet

Going to RHS means getting a quality education, having immense school pride, meeting the best people in Roswell, forming friendships to last a lifetime, building personal relationships with teachers, and coming back to visit even after you've gradutated. It means having a place to always call home no matter where life takes you and always being thankful to have spent four years of your life at the best high school ever.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
