<p>I don't mean this in a rude way. I'm just curious, seeing as almost everyone on the High School Life threads are always so focused on academics/college readiness.</p>
<p>Mine’s pretty good. I usually do stuff with friends out of school at least once or twice a week. I also do spend a lot of time with my family as well.</p>
<p>I think I care about academics because I don’t have a social life. You have to succeed somehow.</p>
<p>I have a pretty good social life, but i prioritize school work so i don’t ignore my academics for friends.</p>
<p>Decent, and growing as I put the effort in. Going to a theme park all day on Thursday with a group of friends and then seeing the midnight showing of batman with a friend and sleeping over after, if thats any indication-- seems everyone is working or doing other things so it’s hard to make plans at times-- ?</p>
<p>This was something I figured I really needed to change, since I found that friends are more important than I cared to grow close to before. Only a year of HS left, and am glad I didn’t start thinking like that any later :)!</p>
<p>Right now it’s pretty good since it’s summer. This past year (junior) I went a-wall though lol so I feel like I deserve to reward myself with social outings. But honestly I’d much rather spend a Friday night at home watching a movie or something. :)</p>
<p>It’s… meh. Last month, I went to almost ten parties and sleepovers, went to see a couple of movies with friends, and it was pretty good. This month, it seems my friends aren’t doing much or they’re just not inviting me (it could be either, I guess).</p>
<p>I’ve literally been partying 24/7 since the moment school ended.</p>
<p>I guess my social life is okay. It’s considered dead for some people because Im still taking some summer courses but I hang with friends most of the time since its just a couple classes. During the school year the only socializing I do is complaining with my other classmates about how hard the class was. LOL Seriously, I dont think im hiding under a rock…am I? (LOLjk to an extent). I don’t really like thinking that school will ruin my social life because the more I think that way, the more it’ll become a reality. HEEE</p>
<p>I care about my reputation, so I socialize a lot with many different people. My social life is great in my opinion!</p>
<p>Alright, I suppose. I wasn’t as focused on academics as most students here. I did a lot of activities in school, and met a lot of people. I didn’t move here until 7th grade, so for a couple years I only had like two friends, but it got better in high school. I have a lot of people I can call my “friends” because we hang out and stuff, but only a handful that are actually close. I don’t hang out with a party crowd, because it’s not my thing. I admit I’m nerdy and my good friends are too. </p>
<p>Tomorrow I’m going with a few friends and a few people I don’t know to a (very delayed) beach week. I’m looking forward to making new friends in college, I already got a good start at orientation I think.</p>
<p>I like my social life so far. I’m making new friends which is a good thing 
I really don’t see my friends much because they’re doing better and bigger things and I’m proud of them~ I’m not the “social butterfly” but I think I’m getting better each and everyday! I have FFA officer training soon, I’ll get to bond with the other officers. :D</p>
<p>It’s good, but could be better. I’m pretty busy during the school year though with academics and athletics, so I don’t do much then. I only see about half of my friends over summer, but it’s all right.</p>
<p>My social life is not that great although I do hang with friends but only occasionally. I’d rather just sit home and do things by myself instead of going out. The thing is that my friends are just as competitive as I am and they don’t have time to hang out either, so they get when I don’t feel like hanging out. But I’m happy with the way my life is. Academics is way more important to me though.</p>
<p>My social life is pretty great. Since it’s summer, I have training for sports basically most of the day. However, I go out with my friends or to someone’s house almost every night and to a party or the beach every weekend. I have a LOT of people I consider friends, but I don’t talk to every day, and then maybe 10-15 I’m REALLY close with. I’m friends with the party group, athletic group, etc. </p>
<p>My bestfriend isn’t really in either of those groups though, and I spend a lot of time with her. She is really athletic (going to nationals for track, again), but is also really artistic (has played piano at Carnegie hall, wins all kinds of art awards and competitions). I’m also in the artistic group I guess, but I haven’t seen a lot of those people in a while now that it’s summer.</p>
<p>Admittedly I don’t spend as much time with my family as I would like, but I always feel like I don’t have time between everything else going on in my life.</p>
<p>I think I’m in the minority here, but I would never compromise my social life for school and all the other crap we do to get into colleges. I’m going to be a boring stuffy adult with a job soon enough, why would I waste my best years studying nonstop?</p>
<p>lol. Nonexistent.</p>
<p>Pretty much dead. Not that it was ever actually alive.</p>
<p>Most social thing I’ve done this year has been going to AP chem summer sessions. And going to a friend’s house…to work on a Siemens project.</p>
<p>I’m not a total deadbeat though. When I’m around the handful of people that I actually like, then I can have fun.</p>
<p>Awesome when I don’t work. Which is literally 5 nights a week. My shifts usually go until midnight. I’ve missed at least 15 parties because of my work.</p>
<p>Not exactly a social life hahaha.
I’m not really gregarious when it comes to talking with people at school. I hang out with my friends, but I don’t approach everyone in my school trying to be popular so most people don’t know my name. I also don’t have a phone or anything so I can’t contact some of my friends over summer vacation.</p>
<p>But I guess it’s alright.
I take part in ECs, competitions, etc with my friends and eat lunch with them and all, while still managing to get 5s and 800s on the APs/SAT IIs and barely maintaining a 4.0 gpa (curse you english -shakes fist-)… I have to babysit my siblings every day because my parents work 15 hours during the day, and so I guess it’s semi-family bonding? … During my mom’s rare breaks, we buy a Korean drama and have a 16 hour drama marathon of fangirling and whatnot… that plus a couple of friends and I are major otakus so we basically go on TheO 24/7… yeah. Not exactly social, but I /guess/ you could call it a life? XD</p>
