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.

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?

1936

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?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.
