15 Signs You Went To Xavier College Preparatory
Brooke Hintze

Ahh 7th Street and Camelback ... where the palms touch the Arizona sky and the girls strut their fashion forward plaid skirts, always exciting choice of polos, and the iconic Xavier bun. Whether you spent your days running from an angry Mike in the parking lot, talking about the boys next door, or trying to survive skirt checks, you can surely say the Xavier experience was a treat. Without further ado, here are 15 all-too-real signs you went to the one and only Xavier College Prep.

1. Guys in ties will forever be known as Mass Dress.

"There's nothing like a guy in Mass Dress, mm mm mm."

2. You will go to embarrassing lengths to get your AJ's iced tea.

"If I make a left here, travel 4 miles south, then turn at that light and travel just 5 miles east, I can stop right off and get an iced tea on the way home! Psh, perfect."

3. It's cute when people try to talk about their high school rallies.

"Oh really? That's pretty cool!" They have no idea...

4. You feel like a bad Mama Jama when wearing skirts or dresses above 3 inches from the middle of the knee.

"The scandal!"

5. You can speed out of a packed parking lot like it's nobody's business.

"Ha ... have YOU ever sprinted to a parking lot on a half day, hopped a curb, betrayed 3 friends, avoided Mike's wrath, and made it to lunch all in under 2 minutes? ... I didn't think so."

6. Fire drills give you Gator Gates PTSD.

"GATOR GATES ... GATOR. GATES." You hear it, don't you?

7. Any segway will officially be referred to as a Zappy.

Where else do you see nuns riding on segways, spraying people with water guns, and honking at people to move aside? Only Xavier ...

8. You've accidentally called a sister Sister Lynn.

"Where did that even come from?" ... She's everywhere.

9. It's always a production when you run into another alum.

"AGH! HEYYY GIRL! CLASS OF 89 OVER HERE! WHOO!" I kid you not, these exact words were shouted at me across an entire gas station by a random stranger. Yup, sounds like a Xavier girl.

10. You'll never know the beginning of the alma mater.

Whisper, whisper ... wait for it ... "XAVIER, WE'LL REMEMBER YOU!"

11. Grass has been ruined for you.

"No, Rebecca, this isn't just grass. We can't step on that because they're baby blades, duh! What did they even teach you in high school?"

12. You brag about Emma Stone and Aidy Bryant any chance you can.

"Hey, did I ever tell you that Emma Stone ... " "WE KNOW ALREADY!"

13. You feel like a rebel when you wear black nail polish.

"What are you gonna do about it?" Hey! Did I ever mention that Emma Stone ...

14. Amateur walkers drive you INSANE.

"What are you, barbarians?! Stick to the right lane in a single file line, maintain the speed of traffic of at least 5 miles per hour. Did no one teach you how to walk?!" (OK, so maybe that's just us...)

15. When in doubt, "the future is a myst..."

"Oh, Señor, you always knew the right thing to say. Muchas gracias, Senor. Muchas gracias."

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.
