10 Things You Know If You Went To South Side High School

Search up Rockville Centre on Urban Dictionary and you will find, “A town where guys wear timbs, baggy kakis, and an oversized polo shirt with a fitted hat that rests at the top of their head. The girls wear unstylish ugly sweat pants (sometimes even pajama bottoms) and what they call a bun at the top of their heads, which often times resembles a pile of dog sh*t.” Well, I can’t completely disagree. As many stereotypes as there are, everyone that went to South Side has a connection like no other, and there are certain things you will never understand unless you went there.

RVC Moms

A chance for the moms to share where to get the latest item needed by their child, and more importantly to tattle on all the teens and the deranged things we do, from the neatly bagged empties left in the bushes, to smashed pumpkins. I think the moms have a good time with this Facebook group. It’s actually quite cute if you think about it, besides the tattling.

The Senior Lot

It’s life or death when it comes to getting a spot in the senior lot. You must arrive at least 30 minutes before school actually starts if you want one, but beware. If you leave for lunch, there’s a good chance your spot is going to be stolen. And even if you knew there wasn’t going to be a spot when you got back, you were going to check anyway.

Amy Schumer

Probably my fun fact 90% of the time. Yeah. Search up the video of Schumer at South Side and find people you definitely know or have at least heard of her in OUR school. Pretty #$!# amazing if you ask me. She walked the same halls we did!

Red and Blue

Sorry boys, you knew this was coming! No one will understand it, trust me. People will say they have something similar like sports week or spirit week, but nothing compares to Red and Blue. The Friday before the first night is better than Christmas morning. Generation after generation of girls have been involved for now over 100 years, and it’s something you were so lucky to be a part of. We all idolize the dances and the first time you see the other teams disco you always say, "Sh*t."

Senior Scavenger Hunt

One word: Overrated. We hear all these crazy stories as freshman, sophomores, and juniors, then when the time comes we realize it was mostly all talk. Still a fun time though and a nice way to kick off the best year of High School.

The Bridge

Dare I mention it? A whole lot of freaking memories there. Apparently it’s slowly disappearing. NO! Bring it back people. My mom is going to hate me for this but even her and her friends went back in the day. It’s a tradition. A pretty sketchy, weird tradition.

Lip Sync

A chance to totally embarrass yourself, and it’s completely okay! In fact, it’s encouraged.

Extra Help

I remember walking into my first day of high school and wondering 'Why are people sitting on the hallway floor?' Little did I know that by senior year some of the weirdest but best memories were sitting in the hallway with your friends savoring the last few minutes before seven hours of school.

The Sports

From lacrosse, to soccer, to basketball, we were good. Not that I would know as I was on the sidelines clapping my hands and stomping my feet for the football and basketball team. Being a cheerleader was embarrassing, but hey, we loved it anyway! From getting in trouble for the, “You are ugly” chants at the basketball games, to Saturday morning football games, school spirit was always on point.

IB

Nothing to say here besides you suck :)

Thanks for the best of times and worst of times, South Side. Once you go to South Side, you are part of a community forever. Leave it to us to all congregate at the same bar for Big Wednesday and basically have a high school reunion every single year.

Written with love and appreciation for the one and only South Side High school.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
