Greatest/Happiest High School Moments

<p>Well we are seniors now and high school will end very soon. Even today I had one of those moments when I was sitting at my lunch table and I realized I would be graduating very soon. Looking back at your last four years in high school (Maybe they were the best of your life, I know they were for me), what were some of the best/happiest/funniest moments of your high school career?</p>

<pre><code>For me it was being at my lunch table with all my best friends and making jokes. The time I dropped the piece of chicken parmisan into my shoe and the shoe smelled like chicken parm for the whole week was pretty funny. Also in freshman year my friend had a ketchup container thrown at him by a table of seniors and he walked around school with ketchup on his shirt for the whole day.

My favorite quote was from my school's France trip last Febuary. I was eating in a cafe with all my friends and my friend said that he had arthritis. We thought it was odd that he had arthritis at such a young age.

<p>My friend asked:
"How do you have arthritis at such a young age?"
Then my friend quickly replied:
"Beacuse God hates me".</p>

<p>Haha.</p>

<p>Well, I'm just a junior, but...</p>

<p>-Getting "midnight icecream" freshman year at the state ski meet.
-Finishing my first sectional ski race (freshman year) and having everyone there to cheer me on.
-Cheering on the cheerleaders at football games...</p>

<p>One time there was 6 of us at a friend's house and my friend was throwing Molotov cocktails around his backyard when it was snowy. So one of them when he threw it didn't really go up in flames or anything so he went over and kicked it. Kid straight up lit his pant leg on fire. He tried to run away from the flame for about 2-3 seconds, then my friend started yelling "stop drop and roll!" so he gets down and just starts kicking off his pants. He eventually kicked them off and there he is, sitting in the snow in tight white briefs, with his pants in a heap on the ground. He completely scorched all the hair off of that leg, and somehow his eyebrows got partially burnt as well.</p>

<p>I unknowingly burned three bags of popcorn for a party in my English class. Apparently, someone had opened a bag and screamed when she saw a huge black ball stickied with yellow kernels. English class was on the senior class floor, so all of the seniors who passed by were like, "What's that smell?" They thought it was toasted bread. Pretty awesome.</p>

<p>I guess my other moment was when I played the piano at a brunch held for the graduating seniors and their sophomore buddies (we have a buddy system at my school: frosh & juniors, sophomores & seniors). I received a standing ovation at the end.</p>

<p>I'm only a junior, too, but it's all the same.</p>

<p>All my clubs are probably the most memorable experiences for me.</p>

<p>I've bonded sooo much with people who were never good friends before at MUN conferences. I've met a ton of new people (from my own school), too, who I still talk to now. Once two friends and I were up until 5 AM typing stuff up for the club... it's a long story, but we had quite the time considering how much coffee we'd drunk and that I was in a room with all girls all night and we were being insanely loud... with our advisor across the hall. Haha.</p>

<p>My debate partner and I never talk except when we're preparing for or competing at competitions, but we get along sooo well during those times. We just won seventh place at a competition last weekend, and we got a huge trophy for it. It was an incredible experience and a great way to end the year (though we still have one more competition left) since she's a senior. When we were first assigned to be partners we were both kinda ****ed because we didn't know each other, but now I can't imagine debating without her (though I bribed her to win by paying for her lunch AND dinner at our last tourney haha). Plus the entire club gets a whole lot closer. Since I'm an officer of the club I communicate with each and every person, and I feel so much closer to all of them because of that.</p>

<p>Our Amnesty International club is soooooo tight. I swear most of us (well, not me) are peace-protesting tree-hugging hippies haha. Some of us have cried at meetings just thinking about how much changing the world means to us, and it just makes all of us a whole lot closer. In fact Amnesty by its nature is an emotional club, and the fact that so many of us take time out of our day every single Tuesday after school has allowed us to know each other so much better over the past few months. Even if most of them are hippies. :P</p>

<p>Then of course there was pushing each other around on Halloween in a shopping cart, bowling multiple balls at the same time and being yelled at by the manager, going shopping with girls (quite an experience itself), all our study hall inside jokes, the DRAMA (most of my friends are Indian... haha).</p>

<p>The truth is, though, that even though we've had some incredibly experiences together (now that most of us have our licenses we'll have even more - especially this summer) I think I'm going to look back next year, look back at what we've shared, and smile, but I'm going to look forward to so much more. I've had more or less the same friends since sixth grade and I've known half these people since like first grade. I really need to move on.</p>

<p>-</p>

<p>Edit: whoa I totally missed the whole "moment" point of this thread haha... and my post is way too long...</p>

<p>I won the big Robotics competition at my school this year! Yippie! I'm super engineer. Now my team is preparing for the national robotics Botball competition where we will battle for the national title in Oklahoma.</p>

<p>My best moment: Graduating and getting the hell out of here!</p>

<p>I really will miss my school. It's the only school that can say all the seniors can say that we are all there for each other and that we are friends... compliments of Kairos (our week long religious retreat that really bonds us together). They are all my brothers now. That's what makes my high school great.</p>

<p>well im a sophomore. but probably one of my favorite moments so far has been the berkeley debate tournament. i met SO many new friends and we all had such FUN experiences and i got closer to my debate team<3</p>

<p>Beating out the favorite, Monte Vista High School, 62-47 in football in the NCS 4A semi-finals to go on to play De La Salle in the finals. THAT was incredible.</p>

<p>Kairos...now that was an awesome experience.</p>

<p>Me and my close friends were "stuck" in the small bus separate from all the other people...we really got to know each other better. I wouldn't ever trade just hanging out with my friends in random places during this year and just talking. I will miss all the crazy conversations, the jokes, the stories, the *****ing, the nights in basements with friends...I grew to love really my school and classmates this year.</p>

<p>Hiding in back closets and storage rooms during boring assemblies is also a good one. Sitting in the hallway in front of the headmaster's office because we were locked out of the computer lab, summer geometry.</p>

<p>I love and hate these threads. Let me recall all the good memories but reminding me that it's about to change.</p>

<p>Student and teacher conflict during English class. No hatred, of course.</p>

<p>Student steals teacher's grade book.
Teacher steals student's pencil bag.
Student runs around with grade book.
Teacher walks to window, opens window, threatens student with pencil bag by extending arm (with pencil bag) out of the window.
Student refuses to hand over grade book.
Teacher throws out pencil bag.
Class goes wild.
Student grabs teacher's coat on teacher's desk (still holding grade book).
Teacher runs to desk.
Student is cornered and makes last attempt by throwing coat randomly.
Teacher catches it perfectly.
Student surrenders.</p>

<p>I love English.</p>

<p>haha nice one kchen
There was a similar one in my history class
Inept teacher makes us play Jeopardy because she doesn't have a lesson plan
My friend decides to challenge her
Friend stands up, "Ms. <strong><em>, I challenge you to a battle of wits!"
Teacher, "...........</em></strong>
, sit down"
Friend, "Yes, ma'am"</p>

<p>all the while im filming it</p>

<p>My favorite moments have been tied to speech, whether it's writing all my inside jokes on the sophomore's arms during class when we have nothing else to do or all the people I met at tournaments and being labeled the team flirt in my freshman year and living up to the title for the rest of my years. Speech is my favorite. I also really enjoyed winning and getting shout-outs from my team and giving shout-outs to them in return. I am going to miss my speech team so much, even though I will probably do speech in college. It's just not going to be the same.</p>

<p>hey XavierKnights'06 I will have to agree with you that Kairos was one of my favorite high school experiences and I was a leaders, so it was super cool.</p>

<p>Didn't anyone do anything illegal?</p>

<p>getting the english and art department awards before i left for portugal....that was awesome.</p>

<p>Kairos</p>

<p>Kairos</p>

<p>Kairos!</p>

<p>Watching any good football game (only applies to sophomore year) and marching around on the field for each game as a member of the band
Other then the 14 times that has happened I have not really had any good moments in high school-it has largely been a monotonous, lonely hell.</p>

<p>SOooo many</p>

<p>-Getting drenched at the football game while performing our marching band halftime show
-hahaha my academic decathlon coach discovering a hole in his pants and walking around with a book over them the whole rest of the day.
-Playing manhunt at 1:00 am on the school grounds
-Winning free money for math.</p>
