10 Things I Miss About Bronx Science

Not everyone can say Bill Nye the Science Guy spoke at their high school graduation.

10 Things I Miss About Bronx Science
New York Times

A few months ago, I saw my high school, The Bronx High School of Science, on the front page of the NY Daily News with the headline "Put your nerds up! Bronx Science HS nerds in secret fight club". The story was on an underground fight club that was apparently conspired by some students. Things that would only happen at Bronx Science, am I right?

It's been three years since I graduated, and this ridiculous article reminded me of all the good "nerdy" times I had there. I think every Bronx Science graduate still remembers and misses these 10 things:

1. When you get called a role model student by the sweet and sassy librarian

2. Our amazing football team that's never been defeated

...because we don't have a football team.

3. Having the best commencement speakers


4. Bronx Science Confessions

5. The ~classy~ dining options

Throwback to when my diet consisted of 50 cent taquitos and free bananas from Ned's.

6. The mass of seagulls that would go apeshit if you dropped a fry on the ground.

7. Spork Wars

I don't think you know how hard it was to explain to my friends at other schools why I had multiple stab wounds from decorated plastic utensils.


8. The super long commutes because Bronx Science is literally in the middle of nowhere,

Although I shouldn't complain too much, because I was a Vallo princess.

9. The anxiety you'd get every time you checked Snapgrades.

If she calls it Jupitergrades, she's too young for you.

10. All the amazing friends you made and some of the most intelligent people you've ever met.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
