So, here is a dedicated place for people to talk about how much they loved high school, I guess.

I'm still in high school and dislike it, but I mean, you guys deserve a place.

I doubt many people will admit to having high school nostalgia.

But I do. I'm a sophomore in college and I miss it a lot. I'm not sure why, because honestly, college is so much easier. I think I just miss the many people I was friends with who moved away after graduation. The realization that I'll probably never talk to them again is really depressing.

I remember every time I would complain about High School, someone (usually a teacher) would always say the same cliche along the lines of "school years are the best years of your life. You'll look back on these years and miss them".

Damn them and their dirty, filthy lies.

Hell, I didn't enjoy high school and I get nostalgic sometimes.

I'm only nostalgic for the ladies. If I saw them now, they be mad-hella ugly.

I hated high school, but I miss a lot of the people I knew back then. Lots of fun times. Overall, a lot of the people I went to high school with were cool people, sadly I can not say the same for my current college.

But yeah, high school itself sucks.

My high school was harder than college. College is more work, sure, but I find getting an A is a lot easier than it was in high school. I've made the dean's list 3 times now and have put minimal effort into school.

I do twice as much work and my gpa is 1 whole point below what it was in high school.

then again, I'm an electrical engineering major...

High school was awesome. It was basically just haning out wiht friends all the time. School was pretty easy for me, so I just remember all the fun I had.

ReaperKK · « **Reply #11 on:** October 05, 2011, 07:43:17 AM »

I don't really remember High School, it wasn't bad or anything but university is where all my awesome memories were made.

This wasnt true in my case. I had more fun after college than I did in college or high school. I had a job with a good paycheck and was able to do lots of things I wanted. I have no fond memories of high school, good or bad.

Yeah, and you go to Virginia Tech. I go to a shitty inner city state college that is far below my academic capabilities, so I guess that makes sense.

I miss playing football and basketball. They were the only reason I didn't start college early.

YtseBitsySpider · « **Reply #15 on:** October 05, 2011, 09:40:06 AM »

I was a complete ghost.
I bought only the final year book. And appeared in two pictures. The grad and the class photo. Now, the amount of signatures and large pages of script written by girls in my year book redeams me somewhat....but....at the same time it doesn't
I was every girl's friend.
But nobody's boyfriend.
Not once.
Not ever.

I could have, should have been on the school hockey team, but I was too lazy and somewhat afraid of failing in front of so many.Many of my friends played, some of them who could barely skate. They got jackets and I was envious.

So.
My nostalgia consists mostly of regret. Regret that I didn't fuck-around more. Didn't participate more. Didn't matter more. It's slightly comforting to go to reunions and be better looking NOW than all of the people where attractive THEN.

but still.
*sigh*

Whatever little nostalgia I had was quenched shortly after joining Facebook and getting friended and friending crackers I haven't seen since high school. I didn't attend the recent 25-year reunion despite the plethora of Facebook-driven anticipation leading up to it. Too much Al Bundyism.

Just started studying and I don't regret even a bit. It was definitely the worst part of my life and at one point it could have ended really badly, I'm not looking back and I won't ever miss it. I see it as a time where you either fit in or you're fucked, there's no other choice.

Dublagent66 · « **Reply #22 on:** October 05, 2011, 01:24:36 PM »

Highschool for me was nearly 30 years ago so the nostalgia has been replaced by amnesia.

But seriously, I have no agonizing memories of HS other than the fact that I hated homework and just school work in general.

Still in High School. It's been going alright.

Wagging? If DTVT had posted this I wouldn't be curious, but in your case...

Orbert · « **Reply #26 on:** October 05, 2011, 01:45:15 PM »

I loved high school. I had three periods of academics (Physics, AP English, and US History) and three periods of band (Symphonic Band, Concert Band, and Jazz Band), so half my day was spent making music. Since it was a given that I'd get A's in all three Band classes, all I had to do was pull at least C's in my other classes and I had a B average. That meant homework was pretty much optional. I got to see all my friends every day, and most of my teachers were awesome. Best days of my life.

well, my school was only 2 hours away from the beach... sometimes we (2 other crazy ladies) were wearing our bikinis underneath... and leaving the house with uniforms.... then hitchhiking to the beach... when my mum asked me why I had a tan... I would say that I cycled under the sun

I don't know either howcome such a wicked girl like me came this far in life....

Wait...what? How'd I get dragged into this? or did I just make the appropriate pun?

Fuzzboy · « **Reply #32 on:** October 05, 2011, 02:32:13 PM »

Fucking loved high school. I went to a small arts school so my graduating class was only like 250 so we were basically all friends. No cliques, none of that stereotypical stupid shit you see on TV.

Also 90% of the people in my grade were lazy, lazy bastards just like me. I remember no-one won the election for class president because there were only 3 votes (one for "principal ___ is a faggot", and the two candidates who voted for themselves). Basically everyone was in on every joke, and no-one ratted out anyone else. We're all still close friends and all hang out together very often.
I also remember the principal used to show up to the school dances drunk off his ass and fuck the hot, hot office aids.

I've heard the school's changed lately though. They're basically trying to turn it into an actual school and not a place where kids can go smoke pot and hang out until they get their diploma.

HS was fucking awesome

PuffyPat · « **Reply #33 on:** October 05, 2011, 02:32:50 PM »

High School was all about friends for me (some of which were teachers). I hated getting up to go to school, sitting in class, and everything that just went along with it, but I loved being able to see and talk to my good friends almost everyday. Now that I'm in college those people have either moved away, or we're just too busy to get together. I can't wait for Thanksgiving and Christmas when everyone comes home for a little bit. There's gonna be some crazy nights in my future, and I can't wait.

Wish i woulda been as out going and open in high school as I am now... then maybe I woulda gotten laid / had more fun in school. I miss the social interactions... but also I am still in contact with the few friends I had.. so its all good... Also kinda wish I was single during my second half.
