Scheduling is so much easier!
Back in high school, schedules were so much easier to plan and actually getting the classes you want. In college, you can only wish that can happen. The frustration of college registration is so deep; I have yet to finish mine for the next semester. Luckily after this semester I get to have an easier process; hopefully.
Pep Rallies!
Every marking period, I looked forward to pep rallies. From seeing the student-teacher dodge-ball games and other crazy games they were doing, I enjoyed it all. Everyone was separated by grade and the noise competitions were something that could not be joked with. As the years went by, I grew fonder of the place I called home and it took until now to realize it. My last pep rally as a senior in HS was bittersweet. It was watching Ron, our favorite janitor, deliver a speech on drunk-driving awareness and telling his goodbyes at prom.
J-Prom and Senior Prom!
Both nights were memorable and enjoyable. As a junior the short dress aesthetic was the thing and many girls didn't wear them. Senior year ALMOST EVERYONE WORE RED. But, as the little rebel that I am, I wore black. So many people were worried about the deep cut back black embezzled prom dress I wore. As a un-eventful surprise, I still was allowed to go and I went dancing the night away.
RED. VELVET. MUFFINS
As a Viking, you knew that these things sold as if they were the Kylie Jenner Lipkits. These muffins became a part of my daily diet. Having second period free was the true key as DJ Khaled would say. Fresh baked was the best way to eat it. Once they were gone though, they are gone. As I finish my first year of college, I miss them even more now and I am so grateful for having them in my life.
Prom weekend
Prom weekend is probably the most important time of the year. It's the one weekend away from your parents aside of Orientation Week. All the nasty and loving sides of everyone come out. As a class, we enjoyed our weekend being DTS (Down The Shore) on the dock and on the beach. Although un-eventful, there’s the phrase “What happens DTS, stays DTS”.
Project Graduation
The best night of your life as a Senior came and went so fast. That night, as a class we spent it as a class with a big bang. Met Life Stadium never looked so amazing with all of the pictures on the mega screen. Well I mean, we won State Championships in that same arena six months before. All in all, it was such an amazing night despite all hiccups to get there.
As a Viking alumni, every lesson I have learned in high school definitely got applied in college.
