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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
