No, it's kind of different. In my case High School doesn't exist. For us high school is equell to secondary school and sixth form. We have to obligatorily go to school up to the age of 15/16 years and you then choose whether or not to continue with your education, which I hopefully am.

LOL. I thought we were talking about college. I'm almost done with that.

Ehh. doesn't really matter

Well, this is my last year of school too, I'll probably get really sad when the time finally comes for it to end, but hopefully what comes next will make up for it. Also, I really want to improve my english by studying in another country =)

I'll be in school for 5-6 more years. One more year of undergraduate and 4-5 to get my PhD. When I graduated high school I was too excited to get to college and actually learn something.

That's a long time ago for me. 10 years this year.

Anyway I hated it there, every minute of it, so I was glad I could leave. There was no-one I would have wanted as a long-time friend, I found pretty much every class to be a giant waste and it was an ugly, depressing environment. When I got my diploma, I more or less said "Okay thanks", left without saying goodbye (not to any, but one) and never looked back.

University was a godsend compared to that. There, there were many people I would become friends with, classes were inspiring and assignments were fun and challenging. Our faculty was a beautiful building as well. Obviously, unlike regular school, you won't have classes with the same group of people all the time anymore, which I always experienced as a good thing. It's easy enough to keep in touch with everyone you want and can ignore all the dumba***s.

I started doing homeschool a couple of years before graduating so that I could work full time, so I barely even noticed.

Oh, should've thought of that seeing as I watch a lot of anime. Hope you like high school then :) 

Can't tell, but i'll probably feel free because school here in germany is pure torturer, especially for foreign people like me. I wonder what kind of an idiot came up with that shit of an school system here.

I'm sorry. This is all just me being stupid. All I'm saying is that I thought this thread was talking about people finishing college. A college and a university are the same. But we were really talking about people finishing high school. I just have never heard someone say "going to uni". I thought it was another form of higher education. Sorry for the confusion.
