"Oh the blue and the gold overall..."
It's not often you hear of a school in the middle of a cornfield with a blazer for a mascot. If you relate to this list, congrats. You have attended Valley View, or VV, at some point in your life. If you don't relate to this list, sorry you went to Nettleton. (All jokes, people. All jokes.) #LightTheFlame
1. Most people call it VV.
2. English teachers were squad goals.
3. You were obsessed with the fabulous lunches.
If you truly went to VV, then you'd know that this is sarcasm.
4. And you were promised every year that the lunch program was getting better.
Yet, it never did!
5. Holly and Sean were your high school relationship goals.
6. Accelerated Reader was your enemy.
7. Carnegie was Accelerated Reader's evil twin.
8. And don't forget the PARCC.
9. The T-Shirt legging fingertip rule was the worst.
Yet, no one followed it.
10. Leaving the school to "run EAST errands" was the most fun.
But returning to school to see that someone took your parking spot was the worst.
11. Getting this text was your biggest lifesaver.
12. Volleyball games were lit.
13. Mr. Gunter always had the most Blazer pride.
Never forget the shaving of the beard.
14. You were mesmerized by the color guards during halftime at football games.
15. You have at least 10 stories that came from backroading through VV at night.
16. You love Popejoy.
17. You loved every office worker more than anything.
Except when you were tardy... which was all the time.
18. People actually looked forward to seeing school theatre productions.
19. Steed's room was ALWAYS cold.
Even though you were obsessed with her and her Vespa obsession.
20. Juniors in APUSH were always worried about their one "speech."
21. Senior boys take boys' choir.
22. When Special Ed made Oreo balls, your weight and wallet took the fall.
23. Homecoming week was literally the best, especially as a senior.
24. Homecoming day was the best!
Especially watching the dodgeball and powderpuff games. Intense.
25. When we won a football game, it was a big deal.
26. You felt the Blazer pride after singing the Alma Mater after sporting events.
27. Basketball games were a must and a low-key social event.
28. Fat heads
#AMIRIGHT
29. The only reason you were a completer was to get a medal at graduation and free food at the luncheon.
OK, come on. You know it's true.
30. LTF, forever.
