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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
