<p>I'm a freshman and just looking through my old facebook photo's and everything, I suddenly miss high school a lot now. I do like the freedom that college brings, but in high school, everything was so much easier. I got to see my best friends everyday, friends that I have known for 8 years or so. I miss my great teachers that actually cared about me. Now we're all over the country doing our old things. </p>
<p>So do you miss high school?</p>
<p>i feel like i really would miss high school, but it’s one of those things where you’ve glad that you’ve powered through it and broke through all the obstacles. all that you have done, it was fun, but came with a motherload of work that I would probably not want to subject myself to ever again…of course-- I’m heading off to college though. I feel like at least in college theres that added freedom which I like, and youre basically in control of our life now. youre off on your own, which is a good / bad thing.</p>
<p>Just be grateful that you had friends in high school. Freedom that college brings? Ok, so go make new ones.</p>
<p>Yeah in some ways I really miss it. My life was just so much simpler and better back then, and even the problems I had I look back on fondly because for some reason they are just good memories haha.</p>
<p>I miss my groups of friends, but that’s about it.
My parents forced me to go to a particular university and I absolutely hate it. It’s not the right fit for me and I haven’t made any friends at all after a year. So I’m pretty lonely and depressed. In high school, I was never lonely and depressed. I miss that feeling.</p>
<p>Nope. Not one little bit these past 3 1/2 years.</p>
<p>Life was simple but so were the people. Not worth going back in my opinion. I’m more interested in seeing how everyone turned out.</p>
<p>Nope. High school was full of backstabbing manipulators and stupid drama. College is more staid and frankly, a lot more fun because of it.</p>
<p>I’m a freshman too, and I definitely miss high school a little bit. I love my college, but its hard to make friends all the time and I’m not the most naturally social person. It’s also a little scary that I’m never going to be a kid again and have to think about jobs, internships, making a life for myself, etc . . . The other day I was thinking about something my dad said when I was at work and it hit me that I’m never going to be sitting around the dinner table having dinner with my family most nights - not that I liked that sooo much when I was in high school. I think the other thing is that I’m not a phone person at all, so when I don’t see my family I don’t tell them anything substantial over the phone.</p>
<p>Not at all. I sucked at life during high school. I then came to college, reinvented myself, and im having the time of my life.</p>
<p>I miss high school a lot! My college experience has been filled with people behaving like their in middle school, very petty unnecessary girl drama and overall a lack of maturity. never experience that in high school! better yet it feels like in college im back in middle school!</p>
<p>Not at all. </p>
<p>High school:
No friends, no fun, sitting at the computer all day rotting my brain. Having to deal with people you don’t like, all school day. get straight 96%+ with <=1hr studying/night (i guess is a pro?). parents, family, chores. classes start early errday. good food at home though… and miss family (especially pets… humans can talk on the phone)</p>
<p>College:
Tons of friends, things to do all day, everyday. Only be with people you like or have common interests with. Everyone is nice to each other (for the most part). Tons of people so if you hate someone (or they hate you) you may never see them again. All your friends live within a few minutes. tons of work, but not quite busy work like in high school. stuff I’m interested in. no parents. parties. can make schedule with classes starting 10am or later. cafeteria food is a lot better.</p>
<p>Yes I miss high school a lot, I went out of state for college, Duke, and I am in my freshman year, I have not been able to see any of my friends since they are back home and ofc I miss the girl that I used to date, I miss prom, senior year my friends and everyone, I miss waking up to a text from my friends or the girl I used to date I miss spending lunch with the people who truly cared for me and I miss everything, I miss being a kid and having the freedom to act foolishly, I miss the naive nature of high school and not all the partying and drinking, I miss going on a long relaxed walk with my date, I miss holding her hand one last time before leaving, I miss prom and how I went with her and my friends, I miss my life, the life I had and made me happy the life I lost when I went to college, the life I would never get back no matter what. I miss being a kid surrounded by family, true friends and my only true love</p>
<p>Yeah sometimes I do miss the earlier days of high school, you know, freshman and sophomore years where I didn’t have to worry about SAT’s or college or things like that. I do also miss the familiarity of it 'cause for 12 years I basically did the same things over and over and now I have to adjust to a new life (I was rewatching Ned’s Declassified this summer and it just made me so nostalgic almost. Just something about being in school as a young kid). It’s hard to explain but there are some really nice feelings associated with high school and I never thought I would miss them but I do. </p>
<p>That being said, I also really like college for many reasons and I think a few people here already mentioned them so I won’t.</p>
<p>Not really. My high school was filled with a lot of unnecessary drama. It get annoying quick, and to make things worse, people at my old high school made fun of me a lot, especially the guys. I transferred high schools because my mom moved to another base, and it wasn’t any better. I literally made no friends there, even though I tried to reinvent myself in the short month I was there before graduation. I’m glad I’m done with high school, I just wish I would’ve done better grade-wise.</p>
<p>Not at all. I miss my friends, but that’s about it. I did IB in high school and it was way more work than college has been–or at least it felt like more work since I was forced to be so “well-rounded” and put so much effort into classes I just did not care about AT ALL. Biology, calculus, I’d rather shoot myself than go back to that! College has general education requirements, of course, but for the <em>most part</em> I have been able to primarily take classes I’m actually interested in. I was also closeted in high school which added a whole new level of pain to the awkwardness of being a teenager and the stress of trying to sneak around parents. Being able to live where I want and date who I want is definitely a fair trade for having to pay my own bills. I give college life a B+ (points off for the lack of sleep).</p>
<p>Yes, I absolutely miss my high school days. Those were the times when you get to hangout with your best friends and just the most random stuff. Fortunately, me and my high school friends always stay in touch. We still hangout when there is time.</p>
<p>I miss high school in the sense that I miss my friends and a couple teachers I was close to. Overall, though? I don’t miss it at all, and in fact showing my sister (who’s a freshman this year) around the campus this past summer made me realize just how much I don’t miss it. It was ridiculously cliquey and overly dramatic, and I’m glad I’m away from that now.</p>
<p>As a graduate student, I only “miss” high school in the sense of all the time I wasted, all the opportunities I squandered, and all the good people I let down. If I saw my high school self I would punch him square in the face and tell him to quit being an idiot, it is not too late to get your revenge and prevent future ill tidings.</p>
<p>Not once.</p>
