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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
