My name is Jack O'Reilly. When I found out that I had to write a blog, I had no idea what to do, so I decided to embrace my narcissistic side and write about myself. Most people, when they knew me in high school, had (or have) any idea of some of the adventures that I had in high school.
A lot of people that I've met here at Purdue have told me that they hated their high school and that they don't really have any particularly good memories from their high school days. I, personally, loved high school. Don't get me wrong, nothing compares to the short time I've had here, and the parties I've gone to, but while Saint Thomas Aquinas High School in Dover New Hampshire looked like a preppy Catholic high school, its students had a night life. This blog is going to be about my part in that night life.
Most parents sent their children to this school for its reputations as being higher class and offering a better education (it didn't). By the end of the first quarter, most freshmen would realize that not everything is as it seems. There were always little snippets of information passed between students at break or at lunch regarding the next party to come, who it was hosted by, who's bringing what drinks. These were big events and, as far as we know, the faculty never had any idea the scope of involvement with STA students. There was a sort of camaraderie going around before homecoming weekend, when everyone knew what was going to happen. That silent bond was something different that people from other high schools couldn't understand. The blog will also explore that, and tell plenty of stories about some of these experiences. Enjoy.
