Carrollton High School, a small school to some and a large school to others. A school of about 700 students altogether in a small farm town, where it is unique in its own way. Here are 25 things you know to be true if you attended Carrollton High School.

1. Unless they were a school we played in sports, no one had ever heard of us.

2. Carrollton is known for being a bunch of ‘hicks’ to other schools around. We have been called Carolltucky.

3. It was normal for some people to be on the school bus for 2+ hours

4. Everyone knew everyone and their parents.

5. If you had siblings you were either called by your last name, or everything you did was associated with them

6. Carrollton is known for being a bunch of ‘hicks’ to other schools around. We have been called Carolltucky.

7. When something happened, everyone knew about it within the hour.

8. You hated going to school when it was hot out because there was no air conditioning in the school, so you knew you’d be miserably hot all day


9. On rainy days, it was normal to see buckets or trash cans in the hallways to collect water from leaks.

10. Spring break, what's that? There were always more snow days than given and the days were always made up during the time Spring Break was supposed to happen.

11. There was no point in washing your car because the school parking lot was dirt and gravel, so your car was bound to get dirty.

12. If you didn’t go to the football or basketball game on Friday night, you were the only one.

13. You stayed after every football game just to hear the football team sing the school fight song.

14. Farmer’s Day or Hick Day during spirit week was just a normal dress day at school since the majority of everyone wore flannels, jeans, and boots every day.

15. FFA was the biggest school club and class to be a part of.

16. The biggest part of the summer was the Carroll County Fair for the farm animals and tractor pulls.

17. The biggest day of the school year was riding your tractor to school day.

18. The Friday before Ohio State Football played, you were bound to hear the Ohio State Buckeye theme song at some point during the day throughout the hallways.

19.We didn’t have parties like most schools on the weekends we had bonfires, tractor pulls, and square dances.

20. If we had parties they were either in a field or in a barn.


21. You were more worried what you were riding on into Promenade than prom itself.

22. You couldn't go to a school dance without having at least one or more square dances to dance to. They were kind of a necessity.

23. Donkey basketball was one of the most fun events to attend in the high school gym every year.

24. You owned more black t-shirts than any other color shirt since the school colors were black and white.

25. Even though you may not like everyone or talk to everyone, when a traumatic event happens everyone comes together, like one big family.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
