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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
