That's because at my HS, my graduating class was under 200 students. My freshmen university class is over 4,000 people. I'd like to see what kinda reunion you expect.

HS is just a warm-up. College is easily the best time of your life.

Don't do drugs & don't dick around in the last 2 years so you can get in a good university.

if you peak in life at high school. you will have lead one pathetic life.

how about "college is better"

It will be over soon..... so don't have any regrets, live your life and get good grades. In the end, its not the amount of poon you get, its your grades that will make your life better.

I loved Highschool, and I loved college, and so far I am loving my "Career"

I don't know what your problem is...

I think the secret is to not to take everything so seriously, find good friends and do what you like to do.

make your own jackass video

no seriously, we did and we had the best laugh ever, my year in school was kinda the odd ball year, in our year there was more people that actually wanted to do work and do good than numbskulls who walked round pretending to be hard bastages.

when you look at the tables it shows, my year had the higest pass rate and hishest number of A*'s of any year before or after. we were a one off, worked hard and played hard, thats the way

but im the type of person who enjoys doing questions, especially when u get tricky differentiations right or other maths/ physics stuff, always makes you feel good.

im at uni now, and finding it abit hard with the handing out of info, you must make all your own notes, and make sure you know what ur doing and when. they dont spoon feed you here. and i kinda like it that i actually have a clue wahts happening and my mates are like WTF?

stop being so delusional (spelling?) HS is a joke.

I'm in it right now, and what i can say is just look forward to at least one class. As for me, i enjoy band at the end of the day because there's no homework and the 2nd half of the class has about 15 people (we have block scheduling, and the 4th block class is a skinny class (only 45 minutes instead of 90) and most kids go to a math class while I and some others stay there for "exploring music"). I look forward to it because i can just relax in the last 45 minutes of the day. I also look forward to lunch and going home.

So, just try to concentrate on the end of the day/certain classes/lunch. It makes the day go a whole lot faster IMO.

High school has been hella sick so far, and I think all my friends agree. Just make good friends and stand up for what you believe in, and it'll be awesome. This year, we've got such a big group and we all hang out a lot and stuff; it just makes the experience that much better.

You can never have too many friends so just be cool to everyone, as long as they're not one of those fvcktards who think they own the place.

DO NOT touch counter-strike/tfc/eq/WoW
DO NOT take your date to the beach after prom (sand in your a$$)
DO NOT drink until your senior year

Don't take any sh1t from anyone, even if it means getting pounded down. Respect is the key.

i second the last point

(2nd too, damn sand!)

you dont need that old dizzy water until you reach uni, youll be much healthier and feel better than everyone else

im legally aloud to drink now and have been for nearly a year, but becuase i did little to none underage drinking (and even that was only wen i was 17) my livers good and i feel good, i still dont drink very often now even when i can, i cant see the attraction to gettin so smashed you cant see. a few beers now an then dont hurt though

This is a very important piece of advice--don't go any longer than you have to. Once you've gone for two years and are a Junior, you can leave and go to community college or technical school, while at the same time getting your high school credits. So it's a 2-for-1 deal. It's called Running Start, and there is absolutely no reason (unless if you love school) not to do it. It's easier, and you graduate with a high school diploma and an associate's degree.

I started halfway through my junior year and regret not going sooner. The last semester of high school I attended was extremely difficult, and in the end pointless credit-wise.

 

[PrinceofWands]

Relax, none of it truly matters.

 

[Grunt03]

maintain good grades, enough so you do not get into trouble at home, then party and enjoy yourself.

I shaved my head, met some decent people, realized they were all retarded sheep, so I finished up early & forgot about them. Now I can't sit in a classroom without the urdge to rip the throats out of half the people I see everyday. Working from home, away from civilization is the best thing I can do for myself now.
