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!

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.
