10 Signs You Went to Braintree High School
Taunton Gazette

Braintree, Massachusetts is your typical suburban town, only better. There is something about Braintree that makes everyone who is lucky enough to call it their home. We all have have pride in where we are from. Braintree is the one place that brings us all together. Braintree High School does an amazing job making sure we have a high school experience we could never forget. Here are 10 signs you were a Wamp.

1. Whenever you hear the word PRIDE, you instantly think of the acronym that was hammered in our minds throughout all of high school.

P-Partnership

R-Respect and Responsibility

I-Involvement

D-Diversity

E-Educational Excellence.

As hard as we try, Mr. Swanton, Mr. Lee, and the House Masters never let us forget this.

2. Every time someone asks what your school mascot is, you have to explain what it is.

The "Wamp" name comes from the Massachusetts Indian Nation, known as Wampatuck, which Braintree shortened to Wamp..."but you wouldn't understand what it really means."

3. Your favorite breakfast comes from the one and only Kristen's or the amazing Olympian Diner.

Choosing where to go for breakfast shouldn't be that hard, but when it comes to Wamps, choosing between the two best diners in the whole town is the hardest descision of the day. Nothin' like hitting up Kristen's on a day you have Senior Privileges.

4. Your favorite lunch is a number three from Rosie's Pizzeria.

There's something about the sweet yet spicy taste of a Rosie's Buffalo Chicken Sandwhich. I mean, who can say no to a number three?

5. Your favorite week throughout all of the school year is Spirit Week.

As an incoming freshman at the high school, we didn't understand how much we would love this week. Four years later, we see how this week brings not only our sports teams together, but the whole school. Dressing up all week for the different themes given by Student Council...who knew we'd get so into it? Don't forget about the pep rally, the one day in the year that the four classes get together and celebrate being a Wamp while wishing the Football team good luck during their Homecoming game.

6. Cheesy Bagels.

As disgusting as it may sound, cheesy bagels are the BEST on a Monday morning. For those who don't know: a cheesy consists of a few pieces of cheese, melted onto a bagel. (Yellow cheese is better than white) As hard as you try, you cannot make them as well as BHS.

7. Your favorite day of the year is Braintree Day.

aka Fourth of July. Do I even have to explain?

8. Your favorite thing to do is support your sports teams.

Nothing like Wamp Nation hopping onto the Red Line, heading into the Garden to support our friends in their biggest game of the year.

9. You will forever bleed Blue and White.

I think we can all proudly say that we are proud of where we are from. Who else would be so proud to be a Wamp that they'd take a selfie at graduation? Once a Wamp, Always a Wamp.


10. You are proudly a part of Wamp Nation.

THE BEST fan base in all of the world.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
