1. Mondays Meant You Could Sleep In.

Late start always made mondays just a bit more bearable. Instead of the usual 7:25, school on mondays started at 8:10, and those extra 45 minutes of sleep truly meant everything!



2. Your Teachers Were Life Changing.

From Mr. Smalley, to Esch daddy and everybody in between, the teaching staff at CLC is incredibly passionate, caring, and hardworking. They are fully invested in their students, and genuinely care about their well being. If you talk to almost any student who spent time at Central, they will cite at least 1 teacher who was a big influence on their personal growth.


3. There Is A Picture Of You Hanging Somewhere In The School

Oh yes, who can forget all of the pictures hanging in the hallways of every single graduating class since the 1920's?!


4. Your Always Took All Of The Time In The World To Go To Gym Class......Unless It Was Choice Day.

Ah yes, choice day. The only times where anybody cared about Gym. Nobody can forget the days of rushing down to the locker room as quickly as possible to change, and then would trample over each other on the way upstairs so they could be first to grab their cards, and get in line for the activity they wanted.


5. The Stadium Was ALWAYS Packed For Friday Night Football Games, Even If They Were Away.

The Central Crazies Always brought the hype, and the volume. Our student section was as good as any.


6. You Hated South.

This one is pretty self explanatory. We hated South with a burning passion. Nobody really cared about Prairie Ridge because Central VS. South was the main rivalry in town.

7. When You Were A Freshman, You Probably Got Pushed Around At 4 Corners More Than Once.

4 Corners was ALWAYS a mass exodus after school when everyone was trying to leave, and the freshman were always getting toppled on when they walked slow.


8. You Embraced Diversity

Central is known for its sense of community and collectivism. Unlike most other high schools, it didn't have a lot of cliques, and everybody was very tolerant of one another. We were all Tigers!


9. You're Proud That You Went To CLC

I'll never forget the amount kids from other schools who always said they wanted to go to Central, due to the simple fact that its sense of community is simply unbeatable. In general, kids from other schools didn't seem nearly as enthusiastic about their school as we Central kids felt about ours.


10. You Wouldn't Trade Your Time There For The World.

Your high school experience was truly second to none!

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
