I love bored people
1. When "We Will Rock You" comes on the radio, you look around for the marching band.
2. Main Street to you never means shopping or driving.
3. You're actually proud of Edward Norton-and your neighbors all swear he used to live across the street.
4. Watching the dance concerts gives you a strange déjà vu of Mean Girls.
5. You've worked at the mall-but quit/were fired within the first two months.
6. The principal that spoke at your Orientation is not the same one that shakes your hand at Graduation. In fact, there probably was one principal in between.
7. You still talk about when Amber Garrity put dead fish parts in the bathroom lights and couldn't walk, even though she was SGA President. And the sad truth is that it was the best senior prank you've seen.
8. At least one of your siblings has either graduated or is in school with you right now-so at least one of your teachers calls you by your last name.
9. All of the male teachers you've had have been coaches.
10. Any teacher you mistake for a student used to be one at Wilde Lake.
11. The only reason you have perfect attendance is because you're terrified of Ms. Schulman, Ms. Midgely-Biggs, Ms. Fetchko, or Mr. Rowe.
12. You've had Saturday School for tardies, along with the kid who hit their teacher.
13. You talk trash about all the schools, but mostly about River Hill and Centennial-even though you've dated people and had best friends from at least one of the schools.
14. When you see green and gold clothing in a store, it makes you think, "That'll be perfect for Friday!"
15. You'd forget there was differences in the races of the students around you if you weren't reminded that Wilde Lake is a school of "diversity."
16. You think "diversity" is bullshit, because everyone you know is upper middle class-even the kids who live in Project Five housing with the gardens around their buildings and claim to be from "B-More."
17. You still define your group of friends-and enemies-by people you went to middle school with.
18. To this day, you still wonder what is on the fourth floor.
19. You have no idea that there is an actual "Wilde Lake" because the only part that's visible is on the side of Route 100 by The Mall.
20. You know quarter grades don't matter until a week before they're due because you can always convince your teacher to let you hand in all those missing assignments then.
21. You wonder if the morning announcements are supposed to be a comedy show or not.
22. You hate the mallrats-even though you were one for a good month or two back in freshman or sophomore year.
23. Catching up when you're sick means looking at the webshots of every person you know.
24. You've written a term paper in one night-and gotten the best grade you've had all quarter.
25. Determining whether you're gonna have a snow day or not is based on if your community mailbox is covered or not.
26. Even though you go to the first high school in Columbia and the one closest to "Columbia Town Center," you live in Ellicott City.
27. You can tell where someone grew up based on whether a night out means going to Old E.C., The Mall/Lakefront, or Route 40.
28. You identified completely with the Mean Girls Theory of Lunch Tables.
29. You never get caught skipping because you know all the "patrolling" teachers-yet they give you Saturday School for having a bottle of water.
30. Advisory means time to finish your homework from Wednesday night.
31. You realize that being a Letterman has nothing to do with lettering in sports or being positive peer role models. It's about free food.
32. When you're too tired to get dressed in the morning, you throw on some WL wear-and everyone tells you how stylish you are.
33. You spent the majority of your freshmen and sophomore year in Bagel Bin and no matter how many new owners they get, it will never be "Bagel Bin and Deli"
34. You get a $20 parking ticket every morning when your friend turns you in for parking in their spot.
35. You are scared of nurses.
36. You ROAR like no one's business.
37. You have found yourself scared of a 5' tall, 90-pound woman. And it's happened more than once.
38. You have taken one social studies course that was 99% video based (history and psych come to mind...see ..9)
39. Getting your license meant realizing that there is a whole other side of The Mall-yet by graduation, you are yet to learn your way around that other side.
40. You wonder often if that other side is only a figment of your imagination because you never see anyone you know there. Then you get to Nordstrom's and you know you're okay.
41. By the time you are a senior, you have seen at least five "student leaders" get in serious trouble, including at least one SGA President, Class Council President, Letterman, and NHS President. You've laughed about at least four of these five.
42. The word 'wild' is no longer in your vocabulary. It's 'wilde'. You can't write or type it any other way.
43. You know how to do the entire Charlie Brown-and make fun of the cheerleaders for not having as much rhythm as you do. No one argues this fact, either.
44. 40% of your senior class is going to UMD. 20% to either Salisbury or Towson. 19% to HCC. 1% to small private schools with a lot of white people.
45. As a freshmen you swore you witnessed drug deals in the hallways.
46. You have good proof against your parents when they tell you to watch less TV because you've met the Finucanes and been in a class/organization with them. Same goes for eating red meat.
47. "This is room 302, you need to go to the other side of the school to get to 303" makes perfect sense to you.
48. You've pondered jumping off of the third floor balconies onto the second floor landing. And it had nothing to do with that test you just failed.
49. To get from the foreign language rooms on the third floor to the science hallways on the third floor you always go down to the second floor and walk across the landing past the library.
50. You rolled your eyes at someone who said the school looks like a mall-even though you secretly thought the same thing as a freshman.
51. You've worried about your clothes not meeting the dress code and having to wear a green shirt. (but has been changed to, u find ways to break the dress code so u can get one of the green shirts)
52. You know someone who has had an IM convo or their webshots faxed to the school-and so they have to go see the school psychologist and/or get Saturday School.
53. The first thing you do after graduation is set a green book on fire because you don't need it to go to the bathroom ever again.
54. Speaking of bathrooms - you have had to go to different floors and wings to find an unsoiled toilet that works, toilet paper, some soap, and a paper towel. Until April, when you just have starting holding it.
55. You "LYAO" (only the freshmen still use expressions like that-and sometimes the seniors for exactly the same reason: they miss middle school, even though they hated it) at this list and show it to all your friends.
...And, for those of you who don't get this list, all I have to say is...
You should OF been a Wildecat!!
...kay, i didn't make that up...but this one is all me
56. You get to your dorm room, and the first thing you do with your new roomates is this:
