1. You lived and died for Hitter football.
You also had a natural and undying hatred for WWS when it came to football season.
2. If you were involved in anything you had a sign in your front lawn to prove you were involved with it.
Forensics? Got it. Any sports team? Of course.
3. If you weren’t involved with everything you really didn’t have much of a competitive edge.
You obviously had a job, took four AP classes, were in three clubs, were captain of a sport, and volunteered outside of school, too. And on top of it all, you were in the news for something random at least once.
4. You or one of your friends have a lake house.
Where else would you go after prom?
5. If you had class in The Tower you basically died in the summer months.
The dress code really didn’t apply to you for this reason.
6. You didn’t even try denying your mom was a GEM.
Which made it so easy to dress up like her for senior week. The fact that you even know what GEM stands for is a dead giveaway that you went to West.
7. Junior high half days were spent at the candy store in downtown Glen Ellyn.
You likely got a bagel from Einstein’s and then loitered outside the candy store for a while.
8. Circle Drive dance was one of the biggest events of the year for you.
It was definitely the schools attempt at recreating Perry's for a night.
9. You are very aware of the fact that Lucas was filmed at the school and told people that regularly.
Yes, our high school does look like a castle and, yes, it is better than yours.
10. You knew your graduation was prettier than anyone else’s.
On the field in front of the lake, yeah, you’d like to see any other school top that.
11. The question was always where you were going for spring break, not if you were going somewhere.
And if you did decide to stay in town, you were literally one of three of your friends.
12. You expected a minimum of two days off due to weather, even if it wasn't due to snow.
Snow days were actually the rarest types of days to have off after cold days and flood days.
13. At least 80 percent of what you owned was name brand.
Your winter coat was Northface, your boots were Ugg, your backpack was probably Lululemon, and at least one of your friends drove a convertible.
14. Your late night hangout was Los B’s.
Where else would you get a burrito at midnight?
15. Because of all the AP tests you took senior year, transitioning to college was really never one of your fears.
Naturally, you took at least six AP tests throughout your four years there, and probably started taking them sophomore year.
