School

[duck]

so i just got done with my sophmore year of high school and i hated it. hopefully my junior year can be a little better.
my question to you guy is how was your high school experience? what year did you like best?

[Nikki Wolf]

Senior year for me. I think a lot of people would say they liked senior year the most.

[Cash]

Literally finished junior year about 5 minutes ago (I just turned in my last paper). I'm sorry unicorn, but junior year is WAY worse than sophomore year. Much bigger workload and a lot more pressure to do well. I'm just glad that shit is over and behind me.

[Harri]

I liked all years of high school. I was class president every year except Senior year (I was student body president Senior year). I got everything I could possibly want (i.e my bills payed, free food, allowances, undivided attention from my father, no concerns for anything).

I joke. I went to an all-girls Catholic high school. I wanted to kill myself. By the age of 15, I had a car (paid for by me) and a job. My father worked 2 full-time jobs and donated plasma because we were horribly poor. My mother had long since abandoned us and I was getting religion bullshit shoved down my throat.

BUT
Cherish your high school years. They will be the easiest part of your life.

Both are equally valid.

I got valedictorian and laughed at all the girls (and 1 nerdy jewish kid) who tried super hard all year and fraught over things like class president/rep/student council ect.

Guess you just can't beat being born a genius. Best part is i spent most of my gym/art classes smoking reafer and eating breakfast as the nearby diner, goes with out saying that i didn't do too well in those classes.

[Zclipse]

I just finished my senior year today, good to have everything over with.

[HibiscusKazeneko]

My high school years were agony.
I was penned up in a tiny building full of caffeinated ADHD kids for 8 hours a day and they REALLY knew how to get at me. I almost got expelled my senior year because one of the teachers actually encouraged students to attack me.

Yeah, I didn't really ever study for a class until I hit my junior year in college. P-chem is a motherfucking bitch. I hate that the hardest college class ever created was mandatory for my major.

[bjordan]

I have a half day tomorrow and then I finish my senior year. I took AP Physics, AP Bio, AP calculus AB, AP calculus BC, Honors English, and AP Microeconomics, so I am looking forward to break and Ohio State!!!

[Ackybur]

HIgh school was a breeze. I worked hard my first two years and rode through clean for my senor year. Just do extra credits unicorn so you can cut the workload in half for your last year. I had MAYBE 4 classes the whole time.

[GoDM1N]

I just graduated from High School about a week ago.

It was 4 years of hell. My parents made me go to this private Lutheran boarding school we live about 2 blocks away from. It was one of the strictest schools on the face of the Earth, which makes me extremely relieved I didn't live on campus.

90% of the grades students receive are from quizzes and tests, because the Dean and the teachers believe that students would just take homework back to their rooms and copy answers off of each other (which is a retarded notion; students copy EVERYTHING from each other to begin with). This was hazardous towards my mental health because I have test anxiety, resulting in me losing shit-tons of sleep.

On top of that, most of the teachers were stringent hard-asses (no offense to Mike and Sandman), and over half of the student body consisted of these self-righteous, holier-than-thou dimwits who, while having a GPA of atleast 3.6 or higher, thought that Obama was the anti-Christ, the Republican party was the "last, best hope" for America, and that everything would be easy for them because they were either going to become a Pastor or Teacher. (The school emphasizes "working for the Public Ministry", and claims over half of the students that go through the school either became Christian (Lutheran) teachers or Pastors. I'm studying Law Enforcement, so I naturally got frowned upon.)

Religion, politics, and my run-on sentences aside, I watched as many of my teary-eyed fellow graduates whimper about how much they'll miss High School so much, etc. etc.

Will I miss them? Nope!

All in all, I recommend having as much fun as possible because, hell, the American Education system sucks balls as is.

[Patrid]

Just finished up Sophomore year as well. Senior year is a blast... just don't party too hard.

[Rustic Apple]

Finishing up Sophmore Year as we speak. Shit was easy, only hard class was Algebra, since I just naturally suck at math for whatever reason.

Sounds a lot like my catholic school. It was horrid. I'm sorry you had to go through it too.



Also, I never realized so many of you were still in high school. Such youngster.

Don't worry Harri! Those of us with college degrees have to stick together!

The first two years of high school were terrible. Don't really know how I got through it, tbh. Got into a boarding school that focused on mathematics and science for the last two years, though. In retrospect, those were two of the best years of my life. Met people who loved math/science like myself, people who had odd hobbies, more diversity than I ever got at my old HS, and more things than I can even remember. It did mark the point that my grades began slipping, mostly due to a huge difficulty gap between the old and new school and my undiagnosed ADD (recently rectified).

Still, those who say that HS will be the best years of your life have never been to college. Even with my awesome school, college had way more potential to have fun and whatnot. Good luck to all you youngsters!

[Maringue]

Yeah, I got into my prime drinking during the end of college beginning of grad school. Let's face it, nothing makes you want to get hammered more than working on an experiment for 60 hours in the last week only to have the results come out fucked up on friday.

Oh, and just a note for all you aspiring college people out there. If you can't take failure, don't go into science. Science is 90% failure punctuated by the 10% of the time where your shit actually works the way it's supposed to. It's awesome when it does though.
