1. You know the two most important times of the year: college football season and high school football season, in that order.
Roll Tide and Touchdown Wildcats.
2. You can expect to get all the redneck jokes in the book when you tell someone where you're from.
3. You know the student parking lot can turn into a hot mess in a matter of minutes.
Just wait until you're blocked in four cars deep.
4. You're pretty sure Larry the Cable Guy could fit right in with your family.
5. You know that there are no limits to the shade that will be thrown during #CordovaHateWeek.
It can get pretty ugly. Trust me.
6. You know what "The Ostrich" is, and it's pretty much your favorite thing on the internet.
PSA: If you are from Walker County and you don't know what this is, please look it up on Facebook. I promise you won't be disappointed.
7. You have friends that come to school in head to toe hunting gear because they went hunting that morning before school.
Or because that's just what they like to wear.
8. You know where "The Spur" is, and you stop there every morning.
No one really knows how it got its unofficial name.
9. You know that tractor driving competition is a real thing, and your school excels in it.
Despite this gif, it's not the same thing as a tractor race for those of you not blessed enough to have this at your school.
10. You know what the Liars' Bench is.
It's an Oakman thing.
11. You know you will be broke and fat during homecoming season, but it's okay.
The amount of money you spend on food is a little ridiculous.
12. You know that "Camo Season" is not confined to "Huntin' Season."
You may not be able to hunt year round, but why should that interfere with your camo style?
13. You know math with Mrs. Berger is no joke.
It'll be worth it your first semester of college though, I guarantee it.
14. You've pretty much idolized the Robinson family from Duck Dynasty.
15. You have an abundance of OHS T-shirts.
Fun Fact: I counted all my Oakman t-shirts one time and came to a total of around 45.
16. You know insulting someone's truck is a low blow.
17. You know what a disaster graduation in the gym can be (Class of 2016, I'm looking at you).
It really wasn't that bad, but it definitely would have been a better, less crowded memory if it had been outside.
18. You know prom is a REALLY big deal, so it's necessary to start preparing for it during Christmas break.
It really is worth it, though.
19. You never really know what's going on in the school because no one stops talking during announcements.
This can actually get really stressful when you miss meetings because you can't hear the morning or afternoon announcements.
20. You've seen Mr. Waid juggle oranges in the lunchroom.
There's more connections to OHS and oranges, but that's a story for another day.
21. You know the school is most decorated during SGA Campaign season.
Posters. Glitter. Stickers. T-shirts. Literally everywhere.
22. You've risked your life in driver's ed car.
We've all wondered if we were going to make it out alive at some point.
23. You know what a workout climbing those stairs can be, especially early in the morning.
It's basically a short P.E.
24. You've almost gotten trampled in the madness of the hallways during class change.
Wildebeests ain't got nothing on high school students at the break stand.
25. You know that OHS has had the highest academic success rates in the county over the past several years, so it doesn't bother you too badly when people joke about your school.
Once a wildcat, always a wildcat.
