So I win countless medals from xc meets and I was wondering if you guys wear your medals to school the next day and show off the sport and your talent. Tell me your opinions about doing this/stories if you did do this.
BTW I'm a junior in high school
Ignore all the sarcastic losers. You need to practise wearing a medal, so that when you land the big one, Olympic Gold, you will know how to carry it off with panache.
Medals are great ... for first dates and job interviews. You can even wear them to both formal or casual parties. They are a hit at BBQs. They add gravitas to the man. They especially look great with khaki, navy or camo shirts with epaulets.
Wear them, all of them all the time.
That shows everybody how good you are.
On the other hand, I usually put mine where they belong, in the trash bin.
I wouldn't wear them around, but you can bring them and show them to your friends without seeming too pretentious.
There's a direct correlation between how many medals you've won and how much pu$$ you'll be drowning in. If you haven't already lost your virginity, you should expect to lose it by fourth period tomorrow

Did nobody else do this in high school? Back in my day, most guys pinned the medals on the letter jackets and kept them on. Like victory marks on an airplane or the helmet stickers Ohio State puts on their football helmets. And it wasn't just my school. Practically all schools did this. It was back in the 90's. We'd go to states or footlocker and you'd see some guys that had so many they couldn't walk without clinking around.
Runners at my high school in Ohio and I think some others in the area pinned the medals onto their letter jackets and kept them on. This was in the 80's.
