<p>Does anyone else out there feel the same way? I constantly see people out there talking about how they can't wait to get out of HS and move to college. So many people in my school are counting down to graduation...I'm just counting down until the summer. I don't like school, but I love all my friends and teachers there (well most of them). I don't want to move on. I don't want to leave them. At one point I even thought about failing my classes so I would have to repeat a year (okay, I was joking at the time, but foreal that's how much I really want to stay). </p>
<p>Anyone else feel the same way? Any tips for how to help me move on?</p>
<p>I definitely felt the same way, because my high school class was really tight. To be honest, it was pretty tough for me to move on to college, because I was born and raised in the same town, so it was really all I’d ever known, and I liked it a lot.</p>
<p>I’d say just stay in touch with everyone that you want to. Going to college was sort of an inevitability for me, so even though I wanted to stick around so I could keep playing tennis, screwing up AP Chem labs, and winning math team trophies, I sort of let myself graduate as though nothing was going to change afterward. College is pretty great as well though, and you’ll definitely enjoy it and make awesome new friends</p>
<p>Also, I’m pretty sure I made that exact same joke about failing everything. I also offered to switch places with my friend a year below who wanted to graduate :P</p>
<p>I’m a junior now and I remember thinking freshman and sophomore year that I never wanted to graduate and would love nothing more than to just stay at my high school with my graduating class forever. A lot has changed this year though in regards to my academic life and social life, and now I’m starting to think maybe graduation won’t be so bad after all. So hopefully by next year I’ll be ready. Sure, that thought of being done with mandatory schooling and being a real adult is still TERRIFYING, but its also an inevitability. I don’t think it will be as bad as you think. You’ll have tons of new friends and the ones from high school that really matter will always be there for you to Skype, text, Facebook message, etc. it’s not like in the old days where you reallly might not ever see or hear from your friends again. Try to make the best of it and don’t spend too much time worrying:)</p>
<p>Oh and a funny story: seniors at my school start summer break 3 weeks earlier than everyone else, and there are always a couple of seniors who still come back every day for the remaining 3 weeks because they don’t want to give up high school yet. Don’t be that kid lol</p>
<p>Hah. Never. I’ll missed a few people but mainly they have done nothing for me. Most friendship drifted apart. Even now I see former friends past each others in hallways but don’t make eye contact, shake hands, talk or anything. Only the closest that stuck with me since 8th grade I will remember. Not to forget the people I met in 10th/11th grade. They’re just awesome. I’m glad they had friended me on Facebook… Ah! the Facebook factor. I believe in letting go. Just let go and go where the road take you. You may look back, but that past is past.</p>
<p>I just feel so sad…if it wasn’t for my speech and debate team, I’m so sure I wouldn’t even be here…</p>
<p>I owe them so much, espsically my teachers. And I have so much fun at school, I just don’t even know…</p>
<p>I absolutely, positively cannot wait for graduation night. I’m tired of school and am ready for summer.</p>
<p>yes lol move on…hahaha jk. yeah i felt like that at one point but eventually we all hav eto move on to the next stage of life. I am most excited about my contribution to the world and my independence</p>
<p>Im a current junior, I’ll be repating next year (enrolling at bs), but still I cant believe how fast years go by…</p>
<p>I dont feel as if I were prepared enough to graduate, mainly because education is not really good in my country, and I dont feel like a competitive applicant comparing myself to other kids who will also apply to the universities I’d like to enroll at</p>
