I hated it. Going to college made me realize I lived in a bubble, oblivious to the real world, and I finally woke up when I started college.

Fuck no. Highschool was probably the most boring and lonely period of my life and I'd rather notexperience anything like it again, college has its own set of bullshit, but most people here seem nice enough, it's a tolerable and at points enjoyable experience, while highschool was just day after day of agonizing misery. Looking back it's impossible to deny that a lot of that was on my end, but I'm not cutting anything else slack, just humongus waste of time in which I learned 1 or 2 things that aren't actually that useful.

My philosophy teacher was nice though, the guy is just a very kind and smart llittle bear that just wants a hug, he was such a refreshing personality in contrast to my classmates which, you could almost swear they were ripped out of a cartoon, most of them without a single goal in life, just going through the motions, who's main worry would be if there was going to be a party on friday night.



I'm now filled with determination.

i wish i can go back in time and do high school over again, and again, and again...

sometimes i couldn't wait for summer vocation to be over so i can start classes again. my friends and teachers made it fun. I got them all in my facebook, even the principles.

oh yeh, one time I used my bus/train school pass on a non-school day, and a undercover cop caught me, gave me a ticket for 40 dollars.. My guidance counselor said just contest it by saying you were going to the museum to do a class project. worked

Loved HS. Was a honor student finished early. In fact I was saved by a very generous coach from self destruction. I won't go in much detail but it was the first time I had a real father figure in a long time at that point. HS was an amazing experience for me from beginning to end.

That's pretty sad. : Always hurts to read about people who didn't have a father who helped them.

No, I went to a great high school in all, but I have always liked work more then it. Everyone was my friend, but I speak to none of them to this day meaning none of them were my friends. The learning was absolutely useless and put me on the wrong path. The lunch food was terrible, and overpriced. I enjoyed my high school years, but none of high school was all that enjoyable.


College is much better. Classes are much funner and less of a waste of time.

I feel like my experience was so close...however, wouldn't say they weren't necessarily your friends. A lot of them probably stopped talking to most of their high school friends to help them move on.

Never was a big party guy. Never understood why high schoolers were so obsessed with parties anyways

12/22/2016- Made a bet with Ganoncrotch that the first 6 months of 2017 will be worse than 2016. A poll will be made to determine the winner. Loser has to take a picture of them imitating their profile picture.

It was alright. It felt like a repetition of secondary education, plus little twists here and there. Though I learned that acquiring knowledge at this point it's almost solely my own responsibility, there were just too many classes and lessons were rather shallow for the most part, and that trait is repeating once again in university. On the bright side, I think I finally found a place for myself in literature and writing in general, I love both fields.

On a social perspective, I did better than previous levels, but there's still room for improvement, and I think I'm doing very good at university; didn't usually go to parties, was rather scared to share my opinions (fear of failure), was very autocratic in team work, etc. Everything's changing now, thankfully.



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

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?



It was nice, at least after comparing it to university



Awful and I came from a relatively good high school ...

It's just another daycare centre but only this time it was for adolescent people ...

I wish I could've done it all over again by skipping most of the classes and play my games (so much potential lost by not enhancing that childhood) ...



No...I didn't. I was bullied, but not by the guys just by the popular girls. I grew in a very dysfunctional home and my brother moved out when I was in junior high. I didn't know it at the time, but I went through a period of depression and I turn to video games as a means of escape. My life didn't revolve around boys, make up, sex, partying, or being popular. Lol, cause of this I was a freak amount the other girls except for other outcasts. It's strange cause to the guys I was just like one of them. I could sit down and talk about video games, movies, and other stuff. I think it cause girls to alienate me further and I hated going to school. I think that's why I have social anxiety.



Yes when I got the good teachers

No when I got the bad teachers
