1. “Freshman Tendencies”

Leave it to Mr. Brown to call you out anytime you had your phone out, didn’t complete your homework, or even just talked in class. We will never get that voice out of our heads.

2. Boulton’s many memorable quotes

“Seven piece of pizza dudes,” “If you were a tree, what tree would you be?,” “Two rowboats and a dingy,” “Rocket fuel,” and many MANY more.

3. Diamonds Down!

Blue diamonds are a no-go. Even if our children went to Ragsdale (God forbid), we would still dress in all green and throw our upside-down diamonds in the air.

4. AP world still gives you nightmares.

Is there a pop quiz? IS THERE A POP QUIZ?!

5. Shark week wasn’t as fun at SWHS as it is on the Discovery Channel

Nothing was worse than walking through the C building during second semester and being slapped in the face by the stench of dead sharks during dissection week.

6. “The building blocks of life!”

*Waves hands frantically*

7. Athletics

Basketball, soccer, lacrosse, tennis, swimming, football, wrestling, track and field, baseball, softball, and band all had amazing athletes. We were truly blessed with the girls and boys who got a chance to participate and represent the Cowboys so well.

8. Your jean to khaki ratio is way off.

14:3 if you would like a clear idea.

9. You chose your foreign language solely off of the teacher.

Ms. Hagler is teaching French? Well, okay!

10. Everyone is on the swim team… everyone.

Oh, you’re on the swim team? Same.

11. You’re pissed about the rule change.

What do you mean “any color” collared shirt!?

12. Friday night lights

The rush of the spirit from the cowboy crazies, the pep from the band, and the game of football makes for a perfect Friday night.

13. Parking lot memories

Fights, laughs, crashes and cliques. Oh, and let's not forget the annual senior prank of vandalization with car paint!

14. You’ll never forget Mr. Parker

The announcement of Mr. Parker's retirement was more heartbreaking than you would’ve ever thought.

15. “Land of the free and the home of the… COWBOYS!”

Keep it crazy.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
