High School=hell

[thewhyteman]

What can I say? I hated college with a passion. If I hadnt wanted that diploma so very, very badly, I would have left and never looked back.

This makes me sad.
I miss college every single day. God it was so awesome.
Course, I loved High school as well. So I guess its all about how you live life.

Thank (insert deity here) for the G.E.D. program. I never have to deal with the **** public education system again.

Its not that I loved high school, I just hated college. Sure, I liked seeing hot girls walk around in short pants even when it was freezing. I liked the air of subversion in the student body. Its sure as heck better than the "business as usual, dont rock the boat" attitude of my home town. But I didnt like the constant immaturity, the rampant hedonism, the fact that I had to be social when that was the last thing I cared about. I wanted the diploma and nothing else and so many other people kept saying "D's get degrees."

It felt like a prison sentence.

Well I would have to say that is more of your issue that it is something wrong with College. Not that College is something great that you should strive for or need or have to do just because society says so. But you said it yourself, you didn't want to be social.

College is pretty much the wrong place for a person like you then. It is what you make of it.

I didnt mean to say that there is something wrong with college. College was very much right for me, as I've never wanted to be anything other than a white collar worker. My sanity really depended on getting my degree, I just felt like college was an example of "trial by fire" for me. I guess for me, "college" means school, studying, learning, bettering myself. For many other people, it means beer, drugs, sex and immaturity.We just had totally different reasons for being there and had nothing in common.

I didnt enjoy it, but I'm glad I did it.

Well that makes a little more sense. I just think everyone can have a good experience at college. But that doesn't mean they will sadly.

When I was commuting to community college back home, I was doing fine and was in the honor society. However, as soon as I moved into a college dorm for the 4 year school, I got my first D. This semester, I actually failed a class, and it's looking like I might fail a second as well if I don't work my ass off this week. All I really care about now is learning how to use the software I need to get a job, and if I can't get my degree by next spring I'm actually considering exploring the job market without a degree. I'm an animation student anyway, and it's not like people care if you've got a degree when your job is making cartoons.

 

[AndThePickles]

I wish I could re-do high school. I hated it and was around a lot of horrible people, many of them racist. If I could re-do it, I'd try not to let others affect me so much and just be me. At any rate, high school contains mainly bad memories.

College, on the other hand, was amazing. I miss it constantly. I worked my booty off AND stayed very social.

That sucks. This semester I've been struggling in my theology class. I did bad on the midterm and have been studying. My prof is such an ass; he tells us a ton of material we need to review and our tests are only 2-3 questions which pertain to less than half of what we reviewed.

 

[Doctor Jones]

I did horrible on my Living midterm. Goddamn. That class sucks ass anyway. It's easy. Just take notes and hand everything in and I have a pretty good grade.

 

[Doctor Jones]

I always had this feeling I would be stuck with a ****** roommate.

High school for me was pretty awesome...college has been cool to. I'm lucky though...had a great bunch of friends in high school and we've all stuck together throughout every year in college now as well. I think that's pretty rare, so I feel incredibly fortunate to have been around a group of people who I enjoy for the past 8 years. However I'm ready to be done with my college years. (graduate next month) I made a wrong decision with my major and it was too late, for financial reasons, to switch now. So this past year I've kinda just been "meh" with moving towards my degree. That's just me, and I have been having fun in college don't get me wrong. Lately though I've just been realizing that I'm over the "college" atmosphere. I'm ready to move on and sort of settle back down in my life. Find a job, settle into myself as a person more.

Still going to visit the town a lot though for football and weekend parties. I can get my dose without overdoing it now at least.

I think college is a good place for both the studying and learning and beer and partying. I think both are important aspects of the learning in school and looking back on it, I learned much more outside the classroom than inside. You learn the theory of what you'll be doing at a job in college, not the actual practice of it. I went into a job that had little to do with my major in college and still picked it up quickly.

 

[BlackLantern]

hated HS, I survived, graduated and went into the service....my life started when I LEFT high school....I run into random people who remember me, I don't care, pretend I don't know them and continue on with my day

 

[Kane52630]

High School was really fun for me, mostly becuase i didnt do real school work, just played around for 4 years and still graduated

I've heard people say that learning about people is a valuable thing that comes from parties but I still cant bring myself to do it. I prefer peace and quiet to being in a crowded room full of noisy people. It puts my nerves on end.

Amen to that.

 

[Hobgoblin]

Amen to that.

Right. And college would have been so much better for me if people would go party outside of the dorms and let the rest of us have our quiet. Instead, its party everywhere, all the time. I used to laugh that college needed a "Party Section" and "Non Party Section."

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Well, I've been out of school for about a week now. Passed most exams, and in September, I'm moving onto my Junior year.

I don't mind going to small parties. Big parties are way too obnoxious and get out of hand far too easily.

High School is always hell. Only good for me was really P.E. and P.E. II overall. And weights.

Hell, a lot of people don't know this, but 9th-11th I did so bad in school cause my mind was on girls 24/7. I only went to school to check out girls in class. Kid you not. Now my senior year, at the time I wanted to be a screenwriter and I got my hormones in order. Didn't miss a day (11th grade missed over 20+ days) and got a C average overall. Better than my D-/D average first three years. Graduated bottom 10 in class with a 1.6 though.

How many times do you have to take P.E. up there? We had to take it once, with the option of taking it again.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ You mean Gym? You have to take it all quarters except one. I have Health one quarter.

 

[Drakon]

For high school for me, it was mandatory two years [9 and 10], with other gym related electives [weight training and such].
