You Know You're A Medina Bee If...
MHSTV Ohio

Ah, Medina High School. Between the dress code and the amazing school lunches (yes, our school lunches were amazing), every student at MHS survived their high school careers with days they loved and days they hated.

If you graduated a Battling Bee, you'll understand.

1. Hashtag #WeRMedina is the only hashtag that ever mattered to you.

Fight in the cafeteria? #WeRMedina. Snow day? #WeRMedina.

2. You wore the same jeans every day because wearing anything else was totally prohibited.

All the teachers were allowed to wear cute little dresses and skirts, but God forbid a boy be distracted by your exposed knees from your athletic shorts.

3. You had to replace a tire from all the potholes in the MHS parking lot.

Leaving school every day like...


4. Speaking of Parking Lots, you’ve gotten a warning from the Rent-a-Cop about getting towed.

You parked in someone else’s assigned spot because someone parked in yours because someone parked in theirs.

5. You still dream of Thursday’s Cheesy Dipper day and Popcorn Chicken Bowl Friday.

6. You’ve gotten sick from eating too many Cheesy Dippers.

7. You know what a Cheesy Dipper is.

And no, we aren't talking about these...

8. You still accidentally yell “Bees” at the end of the National Anthem.

The land of the free and the home of the BEES.

9. You tell someone you went to Medina and they say, “Where is that?”

But trying to explain where Medina even is just straight up confuses the person.

"It's like kind of by Akron, kind of not. 45 minutes south of Clevelandish, but not really."

10. You’re used to a football team losing, because you attended football games faithfully even though you’ve never seen them win.

It was worth the $6 and the freezing cold, though. Kind of.

11. You got yelled at for standing in the front row of the Swarm because you weren’t a senior.

12. On graduation day, you didn’t know who 75 percent of the students that walked across the stage were, since there were 600 of you.

"I thought they were a junior!" "They still go here?"

13. You’re a beast at getting through crowded places, because getting from class to class was like walking through a can of sardines.

House 1 to House 3 in four minutes? No problem.

14. You knew it was going to be a good day when you walked in to see Mr. Gorski subbing for your teacher.

His war stories never got old.

15. You took your first Breathalyzer test at the age of 15 because it was required at all school dances.

And they only test every fifth person, so all your friends got skipped but you got stuck back while they all got let in.

16. And while you were at the dance, you got yelled at because your dancing was too 'dirty.'

17. But those couples that made out in the hallway like they hadn't seen each other in a year never got a word said to them.

YOU SAW EACH OTHER 50 MINUTES AGO.

18. Mr. Farson.

Enough said.

19. Whenever you hear mention of a “HUB” you’re flooded with memories of picking up your forgotten lunches.

Shoutout to the HUB Ladies.

20. You still call Brunswick “Brunstucky” even though you’re a senior in college.

Sorry, not sorry.

21. Make it a great day, Medina.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
