18 Ways You Know You Went To West Tech

If you went to West Career and Technical Academy, you know that this school was nothing short of interesting. You either loved it or you hated it, but you will always be a Wrangler. Here are 18 ways you know you went to West Tech:

1. Teachers rode around the halls on scooters

This was probably the greatest thing about West. From Razor scooters to motorized scooters, it was a new way to cruise the halls.

2. Mr. Marlowe was every girl’s favorite teacher, even if you didn’t have him!

He was the perfect combination of Tom Cruise and Zac Efron.

3. Accelerated math ruined our lives

4. Mr. Bay was the best principal ever

5. The only school where kids actually went to the dances

Unlike other schools, we didn't have to cancel our dances. We had more than half of the student body attend the homecoming dance in 2012!

6. We had a cheer team for zero sports teams

-"Let's go Wranglers, let's go! Wait, what are we cheering for?"

7. PBL days were pretty much a free for all

3 days full of nonsense and zero schoolwork.

8. If you were in STUCO, you got a ticket to get out of class on the daily

Student council was a great excuse to get out of a class you hated and go “make a poster.”

9. Only West would hold a Guitar Hero contest during lunch

10. Our school looked like a college campus

11. WTOD: 'nough said

“West Tech or Die”

12. “I go to West.” “Oh Western?”

We've all been asked this more than often.

13. Only Mr. Joe could pull off the flip-up sunglasses

14. Google docs was not just a way to do assignments, it was a way of life

We lived and breathed Google Docs

15. Yes, the class of 2014 had 19 valedictorians

That was a really long graduation.

16. The teachers had more drama than the students

Their drama made its way around the student body and was nothing less of entertaining.

17. Taco Tuesday was the best day of the week

Even though the tacos were questionable at times, it was better than the cold pizza they served every other day.

18. Mr. Mac was the best counselor ever

He could literally get you into any class you wanted.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
