20 Signs You Graduated From Elyria Catholic
Rob Zidek

Good ol' ECHS, home of the panthers. Whether you loved it or hated it, there is no denying these things had Elyria Catholic written all over them.

1. As a freshman, you walked your happy little self all the way up to the top of the student section, because you'd be caught by a senior if you tried sneaking your way down.

2. You got yelled at by Mr. Juguilon for PDA.

A kiss, a hug, maybe a high five? Not happening on his watch. Neither is forgetting to bring your Bible to class. Writing assignment.

3. Every homecoming, you looked forward to Mr. Wisnor's talk about exactly what not to do at the dance.

And to leave room for the Holy Spirit.

4. You ate chocolate chip cookies that were honestly probably just dough formed in a circle.

It was the most tragic thing when they actually started baking the cookies.

5. Mr. Cunningham definitely snipped you and your gum.

How he always caught people, that's something we'll never know.

6. The words "yes, Lord" were more than just words or lyrics, they were a complete musical number.

7. The best time of year was when senior senate got their Malley's order in.

Eventually you would have to go on hunts just to find who had the last pretzel bars.

8. Why walk your gym bag down to the locker room when you can just throw it over the ledge?

9. If you were a girl and it was hot (let's be real, that building was a sauna), your knee socks were rolled all the way down to your ankles.

10. Speaking of girls in uniform, if you got in trouble for your skirt being too short, it was more than likely because of Mrs. O'Brien.

11. The senior and junior boys gave a whole new meaning to the term "last man standing" during mass.

12. You got VERY good at marching to a beat over the years.

13. Other schools loved to hate you.

LOVED IT.

14. With that being said, it was a small school, so people got under your skin easily.

But as soon as someone from another school started a Twitter fight, everyone jumped in to defend a fellow panther.

15. Getting a senior parking spot in the near lot was the best thing since sliced bread.

Or maybe getting to wear colored shirts and sweaters?

16. You probably used someone else's planner more than your own to go to the bathroom.

17. You longed for the day you'd finally have Deac as your religion teacher.

18. OGT week was the best week of the year, unless you were a sophomore, of course.

19. You bought Krispy Kreme at every home football game.

If you didn't, there's no doubt your parents did.

20. There's nothing better than being a panther.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
