25 Signs You Went To Prendie

"Daughters true are we to Christ Our King!" Prendie was more than a just a high school. Those of us that were lucky enough to experience it, spend some of the best years of our lives there. We all gained over a hundred of lifelong sisters and traditions that are still dear to our hearts. Prendie shaped who we are and we will never forget it along with all of the memories we made there. Once a Prendie girl, always a Prendie girl.

  1. When people ask where you went to high school, your heart swells up with happiness remembering the greatest school in the world.
  2. You still remember every word to the Alma Mater that Sister Carol taught you.
  3. You stole the locker number off your locker the last day of school.
  4. Flashbacks of Sister Gertrude's math class still haunt you.
  5. You still have all your puffy painted shirts from spirit day.
  6. You proudly wear your Prendie ring everyday even years later.
  7. You have extra change now that you're not spending it all on frooties at lunch.
  8. You had the best view of the city when you signed your name at the top of the bell tower.
  9. You never had a pair of maroon stocking without a run.
  10. You will never part ways with your sweater and even put it on from time to time.
  11. Ring Dance and Dad-Daughter were hands down the best because there were no boys to impress.
  12. You never felt more at home in a classroom than in Mr. Rodgers class surrounded by pandas.
  13. The proud moment of receiving a jar of honey when you won a Golden Panda Award.
  14. You can't help but take a Snapchat of the beautiful school every time you drive by.
  15. You never had a greater teacher than the man, the myth, the legend, Mr. David Smith. It's time to tee it up.
  16. You miss rolling out of bed and going to school with no make up, hair in a bun, and that comfy grey jumper.
  17. Christmas music doesn't sound the same without hearing it on the stairs.
  18. Whenever you hear your Baccalaureate song, you get choked up remembering standing on the stairs of Holy Cross.
  19. Walking past boys and being shocked when they don't scream, "Girl!!!" like the Bonner boys did.
  20. The only appropriate time to listen to Man in the Mirror is at the end of a dance.
  21. You're still bitter you never got picked to sumo wrestle during Spirit Day.
  22. There's nothing like bittersweet moment of changing your patch on your uniform.
  23. You never forget your retreat time and running around the halls before room checks (Shout-out to 5:26).
  24. The best night of your life was the sleepover in Prendie walking the halls at 3 a.m. searching for ghosts in the black box.
  25. Loving getting up each morning surrounded by sisters who gave you the best years of your life in a place we call our second home. Ut Sim Fidelis.

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.
