HS were the absolute best four years of my life, I had a great time and became really close with a ton of people. College is even better, however, but I'm not done with that so thus far HS were my best times, especially the senior year.

Damn straight. I finally realized this at the end and all of those "cool people" started to get in some major trouble and got kicked out and had a dead end future.
 
Who'd have thunk in HS that being a nerd would make me popular in college? LOL, people actually respecting that I did well in school, rather than being threatened by it, 'twas a novelty when I hit college.
 
the best years of my life was when i was in 7th and 8th grade. Time flew.... just hanging out everyday after school... knowing everybody at the school... all these girls asking you out.. hanging out with the "popular" crew .. going to parties, etc

but then i moved and started my freshman year high school in Florida , it was a tough transition for me... i went from being popular at the middle school and knowing basically EVERYBODY to not knowing a single person... while everyone seems like they grew up together. I WISH that i would've stayed and went on to high school with the rest of my middle school classmates. My life story would be completely different.

anyways... at the new high school
Freshman year was okay..... sophomore year was decent... but then either all my "new" friends that i met at the high school dropped out or moved away.

From then... everything sucked. My junior and senior year sucked completely. I had low confidence, couldn't wait to get out of high school. I was basically a loner.

Went to college.. freshman year, i "experimented" with some things,,,, alcohol/weed ... had some good times but at the same time... i have some regrets. Second semester picked up.I learned many things about myself... now i look but... i wasn't mentally ready for college.

Now I'm in my third semester in college... living off campus... doing nothing but going to class, work, and studying. I haven't hung out or called any of the old people i met during my freshman year.. i dunno why. This semester.. i just need to focus on school. Hopefully I can pull the rest of my grades up.... and start enjoying myself soon...

we'll see what happens.
 
High School was fun for me. The first two years sucked, as I was a shy antisocial geek and nobody knew my name, but starting with my sophomore year I started to come out of my shell, and a monster was born. 🙂 By my senior year everyone knew my name, I had many great friends and I was having lots of fun. I'm still friends with most of my friends from HS, even the ones still there.

Now I'm in my second year of college, and find myself wistfully thinking about my HS days. College pretty much sucks so far. Of course it doesn't help that I'm going to a damn community college and still living at home.
 
Very interesting to read through this thread (and see the results). There really is no consensus here, everyone seems to have had their own experience. Anyway, I still have the rest of my senior year left, and damn it, I'm gonna make the most of it. Still looking forward to college though. 😉
