No, not really. It was nothing but cliques, popularity, and jockeying for positions on the social ladder. So much time and effort wasted on a fake little world that broke apart as soon as graduation hit.
The inefficiency of it is staggering to think about, now. College was better in every way possible. Of course, I went to a poor school, in a poor county, in a poor state. No technology classes or anything like that. Well, we did have a "computer class" but it was really just study hall. Actually, I learned to play chess in that class, so I guess I did get something nifty from high school. Other than that, the education level was trash, especially compared to the wealthy county right next door.
I ran into an old classmate not that long ago and she brought up reunions. All I could think was, if I didn't want to see most of those people then, why would I want to see them now?
