<p>Ok..we're going to graduate tomorrow..and I feel weird. I actually think I'll miss everyone. But that's impossible.
I HATE my school. I was denied of a tutor/mentor to help me with my science ISEF project. I ended up with a verbally abusive head of the science dept to work with.
None of the math faculty promoted to love math for the sake of math...I hated my math teachers for that.
I even scored higher than the math teachers on the AMC 12..they couldn't even break a 100. I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be conceited, but what the hell??</p>
<p>I hated the students even more actually. Their priorities were SO much different than mine. They were so cliquey and stuck up. If you ever try to be nice to them, they just take advantage of that and be jerks to you. They think they are the ... for getting accepted to UC Riverside and Irvine.
I was denied a lot of opportunities, honors, etc at my school...it was terrible, especially the student community around me.</p>
<p>And yet I feel weird to graduate...I feel as though I'm going to miss it..

<p>No I’m not acting like an elitist jerk. They are, which is my point. They flaunt about as if its the pinnacle of their accomplishment</p>
<p>Anyways, yeah…I guess I am remembering some good stuff we’ve been through…I guess its mostly because I’ll be leaving California and my surrounding environment. :(</p>
<p>Ok, but why is that a bad thing? There are a LOT of high school students in California, and a lot more in the US. Not all of them could be so lucky as to gain acceptance to universities like Duke. (And don’t give me that **** that it’s not just all luck, because these days admission to Ivies, etc is REALLY heavily based upon pure luck). If someone is proud to get into UC Irvine, why shouldn’t they be allowed to flaunt it? UC Irvine has been quite selective these past several years, admitting only around 39% or so of all applicants. You can’t say that getting in is not an accomplishment, because the standards are certainly growing more and more stringent.</p>
<p>I totally understand what you mean. I’ve been in that situation before, as well… hating something, but missing it. It’s interesting. But I’m sure you’ll have a much better time in college; best of luck, btw :]</p>
<p>john, you come off as an elitist prick. this has been proven in many other of your threads. you dont mean to do it, but we can all tell. i can feel the condescension dripping off of your posts. reality check, you are not better than leila for going to duke while she goes to indiana. learn some damn humility. </p>
<p>and fyi, my uncle went to irvine and then harvard business school. he now makes more money in a private equity firm than you will ever see in your life. does that make him any less than someone who went to Duke for his undergraduate? hell no. people shouldnt be judged based off what college they go to, especially by an arrogant prick like you.</p>
<p>john, I know your getting crud but maybe it’s just how you complain about your school as if you’re surrounded by idiots, chill out with the *****ing</p>
<p>oh wah wah wah my teachers dont love being a nerd enough oh wah wah wah the other kids like to have fun, how bad they are oh wah wah wah i didnt get a personal tutor awwww</p>
<p>I never really felt like I’d miss high school. I mean, I had a great time, met great people, and our community’s really nice. Yet now that my last day was yesterday, I sort of do. Eager to go to college, yes, but I suppose I’ll miss the people.</p>
