If you find yourself reminiscing about the "good ol' days" back in high school more often than you'd like to admit, you might just be stuck in the Oklahoma time warp. Don't fret, though. You're not alone in this nostalgic journey through the cornfields of memory lane. Here are signs that your life peaked in high school, Oklahoma-style:
- You Still Brag About Your Glory Days at PC North: Ah, where football reigns supreme and the trophy cases are as crowded as the aisles at the Oklahoma State Fair. If you find yourself name-dropping your alma mater more often than necessary, it might be time to embrace the present, my friend.
- Your Idea of Fine Dining is Sonic Drive-In: Who needs fancy restaurants when you can roll up to Sonic for a footlong coney and a Route 44 cherry limeade? Bonus points if you remember when they used to serve those delicious fried pickles.
- You're Still Rocking Your Letterman Jacket: Sure, it might be a bit snug these days, but that varsity jacket from Mustang High School is a timeless fashion statement... or so you keep telling yourself.
- Your Facebook Feed Is Filled With Flashback Friday Pics from Frontier City: Because nothing screams "glory days" like a pic from that one time you conquered the Silver Bullet at Oklahoma's favorite amusement park (bonus points if you have one of the rhythm pit.)
- You Measure Distance in Minutes, Not Miles: Need to get somewhere in Oklahoma? Forget about miles – it's all about how many minutes it takes to get there. "Oh, Tulsa? Yeah, that's about 90 minutes down the turnpike."
- Friday Night Lights Is Still the Highlight of Your Week: Whether you're cheering on Moore or West More for More-war, Friday night football will always hold a special place in your heart. Just don't get too carried away with those halftime nachos.
