19 Signs You Went To Scarsdale High School

According to the Scarsdale High School homepage, the school "enjoys a national reputation as one of America's finest high schools. The richness of our curriculum, the preparation of our faculty, the achievements of our students and our record of college admissions at the nation's leading universities all demonstrate a pattern of excellence."

However, the SHS experience is more than just that. Here are 19 signs that you went to Scarsdale High School.

1. Getting to have milkshakes in the cafeteria was great.

They took it away for forever after only three months. The frozen yogurt machine never even worked.

2. The bell schedule will forever ingrain odd times into your internal clock.

8:54 a.m., 9:08 a.m., 10:52 a.m., 11:46 a.m., 12:38 p.m., 1:08 p.m. and 2:01 p.m. You can imagine a bell going off at random times in your head throughout the day.

3. Looking for your friends in the library was a daily struggle.

4. You and others shared excitement after crowding in front of the absent teacher board and saw your teachers' names.

You were lucky if you had fourth and fifth free. Two hours of free time! What should I do? Langes? Nonni's? Drive home and take a nap?

5. It was better if your sixth and seventh period teachers were also absent or cancelled class, and you could leave school.

6. You get that awful feeling when you think you have an absent teacher, but it turns out to be Kroll not Krahl, or male Wagner not female Wagner, and your heart sinks.

You want your teachers to be alive and well, but you can't help but feel excited when you have 49 minutes of free time.

7. You became the hockey team's biggest fan when they did surprisingly well.

You even travelled five hours north to Utica, NY and stayed in a motel for them.

8. You waited four years to chalk the Brewster entrance, dress up for senior halloween, wear pajamas to school for senior slump day and skip school on St. Patrick's Day.

When you finally did, you went all out.

9. Also, you played Assassin.

Trust no one until you got out. The twitter account was your source of entertainment until finals.

10. At the carnival each spring, you went on the zipper five times in a row.

Despite hearing about the incidents that happened on it, you still went.


11. The highlight of junior year: You reunited with your elementary school for a day.

Go FM!

12. You know sleep deprivation.

When you have two research papers, four tests, a quiz and a presentation all in one week, the mercy rule can only get you so far.

13. You were "involved" with 10 clubs.

You went to the meetings solely for the free food.

14. You had to deal with parallel parking on Brewster as a junior.

It was a legitimate but also not legitimate reason to be late to class.

15. Parking in gravel as a senior was only a little bit better.

Trying to get away with parking in the teachers lot without the security guard noticing was pretty much impossible. Challenge accepted.

16. Hearing Griffin's voice through the loudspeaker saying there's a flood in gravel.

You run to gravel hoping your car isn't the one submerged in murky, knee-high water.

17. You have heard of or experienced some of the horrors from road rally.

No comment.

18. You know to never feed the geese.

You'll never make it out alive.

19. You never found the pool on the roof.

It just does not exist.

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.
