How Twenty-Somethings Remember Linsly

As my five year high school reunion came and went, it made me reminisce on my time at Linsly. In honor of all the great memories shared while a student, here is a list of thoughts all alumni remember having while roaming the hallways of The Linsly School.

1. I wonder how tight Mr. DiOrio will squeeze my shoulders as he walks by today.

2. No snacks in the senior lounge?? Rick Ray must be mad about something!

3. Please don't let Brubaker notice I have gum. Please don't let Brubaker notice I have gum. Please don't let Brubaker notice I have gum.

4. Awkwardly standing outside of the side doors hoping someone would walk by and let you in because walking around to the front of the school was just way too much effort.

5. Wait? We have a test today? ... Oh, hey Nurse Corbett. I think I'm sick. I'm just going to go lay in that Disney princess themed bed for the rest of the period. And yes, I do want some hot chocolate.

6. Ms. Roten, R E A L L Y?! You are going to make me walk all the way to the Field House for gym class in this weather?

7. Wearing a t-shirt as a 'sweater' over your school shirt and thinking no teacher will notice.

8. trying to decide what you wanted to do in this year's Extravaganza

9. waking up to two feet of snow and still not bothering to look for Linsly on the Snowbird report, because you knew it was a waste of time.

10. Hating senior cuts at lunch as an underclassmen but using them every chance you could during your senior year.

Instantly coming up with some medical reason as to why you couldn't participate in gym class when you learned swimming was the activity.

11. if you lost something and it wasn't on the shelves outside of the bookstore, it was gone forever.

12. Never really knowing what a Prefect was, then becoming a Prefect and still not really knowing what it is.

13. getting excited any time any sports team played Central, mostly because you got a dress down day.

14. Knowing you were going to be late when you had class on the third floor right after having class in the Visual Arts Center.

15. Realizing how lucky you are to have gone to such a great school

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
