10 Things You Know If You Went To Richard Montgomery High School
Davey Mann Segal

Richard Montgomery High School- my Alma Mater. While attending this fine establishment for four years, I have learned to love (and hate) most of what the school has given me. From homecomings to proms, open lunch and in-school suspension, here are 10 things you know if you went to RMHS-Go Rockets!

1. The IB Program.

During my time at RMHS I have seen multiple breakdowns, denial letters from Ivy Leagues, obscene amounts of homework, and a disheartening lack of social life with this magnet program. Shout out to all my friends and fellow classmates who graduated with their IB diploma!

2. Open Lunch.

While most students were forced to either pack their lunch from home or stuck in the cafeteria, we were allowed downtown to grab a bite to eat, pretty blessed!

3. Mr. RM.

The Annual Senior Male Beauty Pageant which was always a hit with the school!

4. BOMS.

Junior and Senior boys who dressed up and performed at the pep-rallies. For sure one of the more exciting events!

5. Wiz Khalifa’s Black And Yellow.

RM's anthem for sporting events. Plot twist- our colors are actually Black and Gold.


6. RM-Rockville Rivalry.

We will and will always be better than you, Rockville High School. Go Rockets!

7. RMBC

The infamous morning announcement show. Shout out to Eric Rodney for always doing an amazing job with it!

8. Black Maskers

The hardcore theater kids who always managed to put on an incredible show. From controversial topics to timeless musicals- there was always something magical happening behind the curtain.

9. Main Street

Chances are you and your clique of friends had a reserved spot to sit at before school started.

10. The Path

We’ll just leave it at that.

Well there you have it. 10 things you know if you went to Richard Montgomery High School! Let's just hope the next time you walk into school they don't make you change your clothes because you are distracting other students, or encourage you to take more IB/AP classes!

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
