Last Day of High School EVER

[sfbloodbrother]

Today is my final day of high school. As a Senior I am happy to leave this school and enter the real world, and later move onto College to study things that actually matter to me.
There are many thing's I wont miss about this school, and few that I will:

Thing's I won't miss:
- All the old technology in the school (We still using XP)
- Class to class, day to day schedule (I like Block classes much better)
- Awful teachers who have no skills, or incentive to teach
- Changing for Gym
- Requirements for things that don't matter to me (English)
- Hoards of people in the hallways, with people who walk slow
- Bacon computer center people
- Waiting for the buss after school and always having the first buss pass us
- Lunch room food, $3.50 for icky, un-nutritious, un-filling garbage
- Freshman (Immature) students
- The kids who believe they are "Gangster" and never try anything
- Stupid security guards with their lame late pass system, making me even later

I don't know what the big world is like, but at least I'm freer now that I'm out of prison.

How was your High School life? What did you miss, or not miss about your high school days?

I'll agree with a lot of what you're saying, especially school canteen food, although I quite liked Gym/PE in the later years

Same food every day, that's over priced. The school makes a profit on the students, which it shouldn't because they don't even put the profit back to its students.

Looking back now, my high school experience was enjoyable for the most part. I have never since experienced so many freedoms with so few responsibilities. That being said, school was pretty much boring and unchallenging. If not for the interaction with my fellow students it would have been a complete drag.

Congrats for successfully completing high school. Be prepared to step up your game for the next level of education. It's not more difficult but it will be up to you to provide the motivation.

Congrats young Padawan. Great day for you indeed. On a related note, did you see my response to your not getting a call back from Best Buy even after applying three times? If not, see the GS3 WH and read back my friend. I shared a little insight that might help you land a job there. Again, congrats! Welcome to adulthood.

1,3,5,6,7,10,11.
Is probably going to transfer to college.
There are dumb professors who you have to deal with, especially if you are in some special program. You are going to have to take some stupid classes that have nothing to do with your major.

Congrats with your graduation.

My high school experience was enjoyable also, though I didn't like the classes per se. I guess I went around looking through a cloud alot, the 70s!

Wait till you get awful bosses who have no skills, or incentive to motivate!

I just graduated from High School too. Graduated on May 24th.

I went to a private school and all the teachers cared if you passed their class or not. They would bend over backwards for one student that's struggling (of course I'm not that student lol). Lunch food they had different stuff everyday (tacos, grilled cheese, hot dogs, etc.) and pizza sold every day. The only security at my school were cameras that they recently installed within the last 3 months of school and one security guard. My school upgraded their PCs (the hardware and software) 2 years ago to Windows 7.

Every high school in the US requires English and I think college does too.

What I don't miss:
Freshmen
People walking slow in a small hallway
Changing for gym was only in freshmen year, still don't miss that.

upgraded hardware on school PC's? Wow.

My school also made the jump to Win 7 a while ago, and now the new PC's (in the science rooms) are some new Dell's with an i3, 4GB ram... actually amazing fast compared to the Core 2 Duo, 1GB RAM PC's we have in our 6th form study room.

(I'm from the UK, but is high school the same as secondary school? )

We call it high school here in the US. We don't really call it secondary school, but it is the same thing.

 

[Mehta23]

In that case college will be pretty much the same thing. Slightly better, but it'll have the same problems as high school.

Congrats on graduating. I don't mean to sound condescending...a lot of the concerns/problems you had in high school may seem petty in about five to ten years. You've simply finished walking one path and now you're going to have start walking another. I hope you pick the one less traveled and end up with a job you can live with and enjoy. Personally most of high school was hell for me...college was a lot better...mostly because the people who did not want to truly learn anything were filtered out in the first year and the people left over were really cool.
