How did you guys enjoy your high school life so far?

<p>Congratz!! I’m still a junior but I’m SOOO ready to get out! Freshmen year was the best, the others sucked. I’m also ready to leave the parents</p>

<p>I just wish I could have done a lot more things over the years including going to all the games and most of the dances! I wish I could have talked and got to know more people rather than just getting to know a lot of my classmates this year and having to say goodbye to them in 3 more weeks. :(That’s why I’m going all out in college! lol I plan on going to all or most of the games, participate in some sports and clubs, explore different hang outs, and go to little get togethers where I can meet a lot of people…basically everything I didn’t do in high school (legally of course lol)! Can’t wait for the fall! :D</p>

<p>Freshmen year was the easiest and Junior year was the worst. lol Sophomore year was…ehh.</p>

<p>Haha pretty pumped for graduation after reading this. It’s easy though when there’s so much to look forward to in the short term: grad night at Disneyland this friday (which is the school’s planned senior ditch day), then the senior trip in hawaii for a week after graduation (the 31st), followed by turning 18 the week after.</p>

<p>I’ve enjoyed high school a lot, especially these past two years. Though I’ve had months where I’ve averaged 3 hours of sleep per school night, I’ve spent a ton of time with friends and have grown in the areas I’ve wanted to (though not much physically; stopped at 6’2" a few years back haha). </p>

<p>One of my favorite things was the school formals. Had so much fun planning and asking girls to them in creative ways (always including poetry and flowers). I only started doing so the second half of my junior year though, but the first one was so impactful that I wrote my college application essays on it. </p>

<p>Seems odd, but colleges must have liked it!</p>

<p>I did not like high school really at all. I felt generally under stimulated and uninspired about the whole process. It was just a means to an end. However, I did get to spend a lot of time with my friends. I have some of the most amazing friends and I’m so thankful and wouldn’t trade them for anything in the world. It’s going to be hard to leave them but we’re definitely going to be staying close, even when we’re miles apart. I know that a lot of people say that about their friends from High School but we’ve been friends since elementary school and when you meet people who you love that much and get on with that well you don’t let them go.</p>

<p>Who’s in their last month of school?!?!
I have finals til June 18th, and school’s starting again August 29th.
Phooey.
So far, though, overall, I LOVE high school. This is where I’ve made the most and best friends of my life, the ones who I think will stick, and where I’ve learned more than I ever imagined possible.
Maybe I’m just comparing it to my absolutely abysmal elem years, but still…</p>

<p>Hi you guys! Sorry for digressing but, if you’re in AP Biology, would you mind answering my question? Thanks! :D</p>

<p><a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sciences/1504200-ap-bio-these-subjects-test.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sciences/1504200-ap-bio-these-subjects-test.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Freshmen year right now for me. Hate every single day of classes. The only reason I show up is really just to talk to my friends.
The teachers are a bore and the classes are so ridiculous and easy that I just stopped trying halfway through the year. Wasn’t really a good idea, as I stopped doing the homework and just clutched the tests. All the classes are just memorization and getting ready for a test, then forgetting about what happened on that test, moving on to a new unit, then getting a midterm. The only project I’ve enjoyed doing this year is the paper I’m writing for my English class about how broken the U.S Public Education system is.
Honestly, I wish I went to a private/magnet/charter school that would weed out all the idiots I have to put up with in my school and would have subjects taught better. Either that, or I wish I could just do school online with an actually good online program, and then spend my free time doing self-conducted projects or something. Idk, I just hate high school.</p>

<p>GET ME OUT OF HERE. I have no more AP exams, nothing to do in half of my classes, no more research paper, and yet we still have 37 days left of doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I’ve always hated high school, but I’m just impatient now because I’m a senior. I don’t care about prom. I don’t care about senior skip days. I don’t care about project graduation. I don’t care about anyone in my senior class. I WANT TO BE OUT and IN COLLEGE already.</p>

<p>I’m finishing up my junior year (first year of IBDP) and I now equate “graduating junior” with “those kids whose lives I wish I could steal”. I’m so tired of HS, and I still have one whole year left. It wouldn’t be so bad, but I’ve got 0 school pride, have never been and never want to go to a game, and went to prom once, and it was once too many. Can’t wait for college, and I can only hope that when I visit my top choices this summer that I’ll be even more pumped to work super hard and get in!</p>

<p>My freshman year oh boy.

  1. Stopped trying, figured out I’d still get all a’s
    2.Joined theatre and did scenes from Romeo and Juliet with a junior who would soon become the school’s king of romance
  2. Joined our all girl show choir and crew for our mixed show choir which I’ll be a part of next year
  3. Realized I’m the only person who has a clue what’s going on in Pre-Calc
  4. Had a Peggy Sawyer moment and was given the biggest solo of the year at our choir finale concert five minutes beforehand</p>

<p>And, the most important thing
6. Became unisolated and for the first time had a stable group of friends who all truly care for me.</p>

<p>Wow, it looks like I had a pretty stellar freshman year :/</p>

<p>-------------------------------------------If it is to be, it is up to me…</p>

<p>I’m a senior in high school, and this is my last month here. This is the last week of classes, and it shouldn’t be that strenuous of a week. Next week is finals week. Once that’s done, I’m out of here. My four years in high school have been a roller coaster ride. Aside from academics, I’ve never grown close to many people here since it’s so hard for me to just jump into some group of new people who are already friends with each other and try to befriend them. I can’t do that. Plus, I don’t think I have any interest of doing that unless I feel like I’ll be able to become really close with them.</p>

<p>I do have a few friends here and there, and there are great people whom I talk to every once in a while. I have a speech impediment known as stuttering, so it was really hard for me to socialize with others. My speech impediment caused quite some social anxiety within me and vice versa; my social anxiety also exacerbated the speech impediment. Fortunately, I improved greatly, and it’s something I’m proud of since I know I can leave this high school on a good note. I’m no longer all that fearful of speaking in front of the class.</p>

<p>I’m going to attend a community college in the fall, and I’m actually quite excited for this. Honestly, I feel as though the environment of a community college is a lot more suitable and ideal for me. I tend to find it easier to make friends in a place where most people don’t always hang out in huge groups. I know because I’ve been to community college campuses before. Maybe it works the same way in four-year colleges, but I can’t be too sure. I know I’ll be missing out on that college freshman experience, but I don’t mind so much. I’ll be transferring out to a four-year college eventually. By that time, I should be much more mature and ready. I don’t think I’m ready for a four-year university at the moment since I don’t always have my priorities straight, although I might think maturely.</p>

<p>I’m just glad I’ll be getting out of this place. A few of the teachers here were never that supportive of me, judging me based on appearance and all. I’m not even that bad of a person or a student. It’s just that I’m often surrounded by loud, attention-craving people, and I stand out a lot in settings like that since I’m usually the quiet one. I just wish teachers here weren’t so judgmental. Even my academics counselor misjudged me. It’s a horrible feeling that comes with being misjudged, but I’m glad I’ve gotten over it for the most part.</p>

<p>I hope you guys are doing well!</p>

<p>my freshman year ended up like this:
started out real smooth, all a’s (except a b in math)
had to try hard for english during the winter, still all a’s (except a b in math)
spring was too easy, had no homework (and i’m taking all honors) and a quarter project/3 tests for each class + homework grade, all a’s
fourth quarter finishing up, looking good</p>

<p>Freshman: :smiley: XD</p>

<p>Sophomore: :/</p>

<p>Junior :frowning: DX</p>

<p>I’m hoping next year might be better…</p>

<p>streeeeeeeeeeess</p>

<p>For me high school has been a blast! Sometimes its tuff, but I get to relax. Going to TWO proms this week WUT WUT</p>

<p>Ready for college! See ya later high school… been there done that!</p>

<p>It was the seniors’ last day today. Definitely NOT the same without them! It feels so empty with them gone, granted we only have like 500 people at my school… but still.</p>

<p>This year was…meh. Hopefully next year is better.</p>

<p>I moved to a different school sophomore year and had trouble making friends bc cliques. High school can get pretty lonely when you don’t have friends :(</p>
