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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
