5 Ways You Know You Went To Oak Creek High School

We aren't just identifiable by our royal blue.

5 Ways You Know You Went To Oak Creek High School

Oak Creek, Wisconsin—nothing too special on a map. However, our high school is something else and a time in our lives that we will never forget no matter how hard we try. Here are the five ways that everyone knows you were a Knight.

1. Your pride for Oak Creek Athletics has not diminished since you have graduated.

During your time at Oak Creek it is guaranteed that you took part in at least one killer football, volleyball, swim, track, baseball, or basketball season; and if you didn't, that means you witnessed far more than one. Let's be honest, you've made it back to the stadium for at least one homecoming game.

2. Who is Franklin?

The rivalry will always be strong. During high school we continued to find ways to compete against each other, whether it was through athletics, raising money for Relay for Life, or just flat out debating who was better (usually on Twitter).

3. Your closet is still predominantly royal blue.

It seems as though we never wore blue until we embarked on our time at OCHS. Then twice a week we were buying fan of shirts and being given more gear to show off our Knight's pride. Now that we are out of high school, our wardrobe struggles to stay alive because unfortunetly it is not socially acceptable to wear only blue, white, and black.

4. You wish you could relive another Homecoming Week just for the fun of it.

Undoubtably this was the best time of each school year. Homework seemed to stop for a short time, rules were given a bit more slack, and everyone, including the teachers, were having more fun. Whether you were dressed like a baby, jungle animal or decked out in all green, there is no denying the camaraderie and positive energy that surrounded the high school during this time. Plus, you can't deny how long you patiently waited to finally be a senior so you were able to wear black on color day without being stared at like you just committed a heinous crime.

5. We had the best student section... by far.

As Fridays rolled around, it was guaranteed that we would be at the games rain or shine, sleet or snow. The stands were always filled to maximum capacity to cheer on our football team— and you better believe that you were in the appropriate spot based on your grade.

Let's be honest, when we were in high school we wanted nothing more than the time to go faster, but now I think most of us would kill to 'Go Bananas' one last time. #OnceAKnightAlwaysAKnight

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.
