<p>I look forward to graduating, going to collage and getting started with my life. But offcourse I am scared because collage doesnt permit slacking off, its your future.</p>
<p>although i have still few years before i graduate i believe fsu, that everyone feels the same, for it is a big step in life</p>
<p>I was terrified of graduating, to be quite honest. Two years later I look back and wish it never happened, wishing that I was finishing 14th grade at my high school instead of sophomore year of college.</p>
<p>The reason? I spent so long in my school to become who I was. The day I graduated I essentially became a nobody. I lost the following:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>My job as a computer guy in the school. I've done some volunteer work since then, notably the summer I graduated, but I've rarely been at the school since while in session to fix a computer (only once in two years so far). I'd been a tech for as long as I had been in school.</p></li>
<li><p>My "extended family". I had grown close to the baseball coach and a few other faculty members, who actually became closer to me than my own family (I was going through serious family struggles during high school).</p></li>
<li><p>My career as a TV guy ended. I wish I could still broadcast announcements to the entire school. I have made a few videos for the school since my graduation but have yet to broadcast live again.</p></li>
<li><p>I no longer got to see everyone on a daily basis. I had about 20 very close friends and close to 320 who weren't as close. Also add in there teachers. I run into someone at the grocery store or the mall now and then but that's about it (aside from my 20 close friends whom I stay in touch with, yet only get to see a few months out of the year).</p></li>
<li><p>I was used to the schedule. I hate how college schedules change daily as far as class times. Bring back the days when Class A was at 8:00 and Class B at 8:45 every day of the week!</p></li>
<li><p>I miss all my freshmen so bad. I don't have them to be a big brother to anymore.</p></li>
<li><p>I knew people at college would be more into partying than the friends I had in high school and I have yet to find a good group to hang out with at college. Sure, there are some folks I talk to around campus, but it's not like we all go to a baseball game together or something.</p></li>
<li><p>Senior year RULED. Having that awesome year to cap off high school just made it more painful to leave.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>What you say is right. But think the good way...You will meet new friends and, if you?re close, will keep contact. School is no longer fun, college must be great, don?t worry.</p>
<p>I am not afraid, but i know i will miss school a lot. As u said u meet a lot of people.</p>
<p>I think I know what you're talking about.</p>
<p>Last year, on the senior's last day of school, there was this one girl who was crying and shaking at the end of the day, because she didn't want high school to end.</p>
<p>So there is an advantage to being anti-social in high school!</p>
<p>OP I kind of know how you feel. I feel I will miss my friends and the memories, but not HS itself.</p>
<p>I'm excited to graduate. Sure, I like high school, it's easy and I get along fine with most people; but I'm ready to move on. College is going to be great and I can't wait to start.</p>
<p>Yep. Is senioritis going to wear away or is it going to continue like it is now?
It it is, then I am in for a rough ride.</p>
<p>My senioritis is really bad, I don't do anything. I don't know how I have a 3.7 gpa this year......</p>

a lot of you people must have had an awful high school experience...probably spent half the time studying instead of making friends, which in my opinion sucks... I just saw that other thread the salutatorian friend thing, where the OP acutally considers losing a friend over salutatorian...I'm salutatorian ( or am gonna be for graduation) and I couldn't care less, I wouldn't even consider losing a friend over it, to hell with salutatorian in a case like that....but well my point is, I'm really gonna miss HS, it was awesome. It sucks to say goodbye to people I've known for the past 12 years ( yeah, its different here, schools all have elementary, middle, and high school in one same institution)...

<p>well, not really. I spend about 1/10 of my time studying. but i was a student who transferred district after middle school. by the time i came here, everybody was already in tight cliques who had been together for 12 years that were extremely exclusive. everyone was rich and snobbish, and stank of superiority. making friends was next to impossible. believe me i tried. but i gave up after sophomore year, it was no use. i hated the place. but i couldn't transfer to another place because of transportation issues and my family couldn't afford to send me elsewhere.</p>
<p>i ended up spending most of the time in independent historical research.
screw high school.</p>
