<p>Ok, i've been lurking around for ages now and as you know, cc is a place with interesting, intelligent, and most of all, wordly and 'civilized' people, apart from a few trolls and the odd drama queen. So i've joined, finally! I go to a mediocre public school, am a senior and am just sooooooo sick of high school and all its melodramatic sensations. I'm surrounded by friends and acquaintances who are driven and care intensely about grades, but THAT IS ALL THEY CARE ABOUT! There are many smart people at my school, many smarter than me, but only grade wise.They don't know anything about the world, no desire to do something bigger than themselves, and are wrapped up in their little bubble- just grades, and silly high school drama. They are intelligent but no where near intellectual and that's a HUGE difference. I can never talk to anyone about world issues, foreign affairs, politics, or any other stuff that's outside of the typical realm of high school. I'm not into parties and the shallow conversations that people have. People think i'm too 'mature' and i think they're too immature. I've felt this way throughout my whole junior year and i have to wait till november for graduation which means senior year is only 1/4 through. (note: i don't live in the US but i'd think my sentiments are not unique to me esp with the people on this board!) i have the rest of the year to work really hard but my motivation is on the line.....and not just from 'senioritis'! </p>
<p>Anyway, anyone who feels the same way feel free to pitch in!</p>
<p>Sadly, I’m a freshman so I still have another 3 years after this year!!! Majority of the people in my grade are so immature. I hang out with mostly Juniors and Seniors… but most of my life I hung out with older kids.</p>
<p>i am also so done with college confidential. i may lurk around here on D Day next week, but after that i am done with this interesting/anxiety-inducing/hypercompetitive website forever. i have decided to keep my RD decisions to myself. see all (or, at least hopefully a few) of you in college! bye HSL!</p>
<p>I can’t wait to leave high school! College seems a lot more interesting and fun – plus the typical 7-hour, 8 AM to 3 PM, 5 days a week thing just isn’t doing it for me. There will also be plenty more time for me to really pursue what I’m interested in (I have very clear passions). :)</p>
<p>I have fun, at least i used to. But now i just can’t be stuffed to make the effort anymore. People have grown to be nicer and more mellow in senior year but many are still trying to work their way up the popularity ladder, including 2 of my closest friends in grade 10. I just observe how they act and it’s sometimes hilarious and other times sad. I am also so sick of the 8am-3pm routine, teachers, and again, the emphasis on grades with many of my peers. Recently, my friend CRIED because she barely scrapped a b- in her chem exam.</p>
