Signs You Went to West Essex High School

Knowing no matter how many ice cubes you flushed and spoons you put under your pillow you weren’t getting a snow day.

Having to explain to people that you have a Senior Ball and a Junior Prom and there’s actually a big difference.


Waiting all year to see Mr. West Essex.


Panicking when you hear the annual rumor that there’s no senior service.


Realizing all of the stereotypes for each town are true.



Picking a driver partner senior year is just as important as picking a college.



Seeing half of the school at Sam’s or Dunkin every morning.



Spending a fortune on accessories to go with your color day shirts.



You’ve texted your parents to drop off a second Dunkin coffee/iced tea to make it through the day.


You’ve spent hours trying to get out of the senior lot


Chipotle…


You’ve bragged about how good all of our sports teams are. (especially field hockey)


The wait for a sandwich makes you question your life existence.


Yes, Cash Cash went to our high school.


The WE vs Caldwell rivalry.


When people say Cesar you think of Mr. D.


There's no better joy than seeing Albo walk into your class as a sub.


When you got called to 700 you thought about everything you've done in the past year.


Parking behind Jumpnasium junior year was great until you had to hike up the hill.



Swallowing goldfish at the Luau (except for the class of 2015).

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
