Grand Rapids Catholic Central High School changed me for the better. The community is so great. I'm so thankful that I had the means to attend CC, and I know that it has influenced my life and experiences. Here are some of the reasons why.

1. Cougar pride. Once a Cougar, always a Cougar.

2. We now have a home football field!


And it is so beautiful. My inner band geek is definitely had a moment of pride when the band walked out on the field. I was a bit jealous, but oh so proud of how far we've come as a school.

3. The education will prepare you academically for the future.


College preparation is something that Catholic Central really strives for, and achieves.

4. Wearing uniforms teaches you to appreciate jeans days, but relieves you from the difficult choice of deciding what to wear in the morning. Basically blue or white polo, a skirt, (or pants/shorts if you so choose) and you're good to go.


5. You’ll have great calves by the time senior year rolls around, from climbing five flights of stairs daily, and walking between three different buildings for classes.


Bonus free leg workouts if you’re in marching band.

6. Seven semester-long classes per day make you learn how to study, because exam week usually contains two or three exams on the same day.


After that, one or two a day during exam week in college is easy.

7. Math class with Sister Robert Ann is scary, but it is so helpful when someone cares enough about your success that she’ll be okay with scaring the knowledge into your soul.


8. Getting out of P.E. credits by taking 2 years of band.


Whoever said marching band is not a sport is wrong.

9. It’s a great day to be a Cougar, whether it be past, present, or future!

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.
