Think back to when you were a senior in High School (for some, that's a _lot_ of thinking). Did you suffer from senioritis in the final months of your High School life?

I, for one, cannot wait to get out of High school and into college. I've enjoyed the four years at my school, but sheesh. I am _done_ with the routine. I know what I want to do in college, and I want to start now considering it'll take me about 6 years (Pharmacy :cool: )

It's January. Four more months... :-( I'll make it.

I had no use for the high school I attended. For me it was 4 years of misery. I did not attend graduation but enlisted in the military straight away. That was in 1968.

I vaguely remember High School. Spent the first 3 years trying to figure out who I was, and my senior year I said to heck with it and just got stoned. Stayed that way the whole year and still made honor roll.

High School was nothing like American Grafitti or Happy Days. It was just four years that left very little impression on me. I remember my days in the army much more vividly and my days in college more vividly yet. High School was sort of a place holder while waiting to get on with life.

I have more fun with my annual high school reunion thanI did in high school. For some reason the group that meets each year conincides almost totally with those with whom I was friends.

Our fiftieth high school reunion is coming up soon. We are in the beginning planning stages. Either a cruise or Vegas.

I don't know that my high school class ... or any 5 years on either side have ever had a reunion. Might be interesting to attend one after all these years & see what time has done to those that were 'oh so cool' back then.

Three of us started kindergarten together back in 1947. We've known each other for more than sixty years and are still friends.

:eek:

ET would have an easier time of phoning home than I would mom.

high school huh...lets see...16 years ago...

a freaking half baked,stuffed into a cheerleader uniform 3 times a week three years......yeah,I didn't much like my high school and I don't miss it at all.

I remember high school as being a time of clique v. clique. Everyone had their groups to hang out with: the jocks, the band geeks, the alkies, the stoners, and the shop kids. Yeah, I made friends from all sides...mostly the band geeks because I was one myself...friends came and went, yadda yadda and so on.

Apparently, this summer proved that some people just can't let go. We had a five year reunion in August that I felt was absolutely retarded to go to. Granted, I'll be attenting the ten year....or 15 year....or 6.32 year reunion, but it was just too soon to see anybody. Besides, my friends said the reunion consisted of an hour in the park, six hours at the bar.

Hah, the band dorks. So true so true. I was actually a band dork my freshman and sophomore year. When I quit beginning Junior year, they all seemed to just pretend I never existed. I mean, some who I was friends since Elementary school were still cool, but most were just blood suckers. Even the director gives me dirty looks in the hall.

As. If.

Haha! I got to miss out on all the shit high school brings... And to think my parents were worried I'd miss something "important" like prom or graduation or some crap like that.

(I was "home schooled" - read: didn't do shit - for 9th and 10th grade, then I started college when I would've been in the middle of my junior year, for those of you who aren't aware.)

In my opinion, I think prom is the most exaggerated shit in the entire country. I've been to prom, and I had fun. However, it's not OH MY GAH great. I don't understand why some kids' life evolves around it. I knew a girl who bought her dress back in SEPTEMBER. Our prom is in April. Good lord. ...I hope she got fat.

jk jk jk!

Interesting. Same thing happened to me. Something about band makes people lose touch with reality.

My Junior Prom date (and girlfriend at the time) ditched me for her english project. My senior prom was on a river boat an hour away from the school and it rained all night AND my date danced with every guy friend of mine but me. My now-finace's prom the next year was the best of all of them.

Regardless, prom is a crock of shit.

Waste of money, too. 50 bucks for two fluckin' tickets. I can buy dinner for a week with fifty bucks. Hell to the no.

Lionel,
Yeah. They're just a bunch of blood suckers.

man, that sux:(

Like you, I was so ready to get out of high school, and out of that home town. I did not find high school to be redeeming in any way, and I felt as though each extra moment in that town was going to suck the corresponding hour off of my life. To this day, that place is like green Kryptonite to me.

Like ES and Frogger, it was not off to college for me, (I had neither the grades for scholarship, nor the money for tuition).
Instead, I went off to the US Army and flight school.

I never looked back, thank you.
College I finished on my own time, in the evenings and weekends.
Am working on my Masters now, just because I want to, not because I have to.

I don't see view any single experience from those high school days (beyond the death of a close friend) as either formative, special, or influential on my later life and/or the person I eventually became. Or the person I aspire to be someday.

Finish your classes, meet all the required attendance hoops and hurdles, and then get the f#@k out of there.
They can mail you the diploma.

Exactly! I lived with Gram who died I was in 10th grade. I had many of my credits by then and home schooled myself afterwards. 11th grade was a breeze and 12th I only had to show up for gym and art. I did SS at home. Went half the year and had them send my diploma. By the time prom came, I was in NYC, living it up on broadway persuing my dreams of acting.

To hell with proms and sticking around, life's too short! Get the F#@K outta there is right.:thumbs:

I'm all for skipping prom, but I don't think I could skip the graduation ceremony. It just seems like so much fun (at least at my school) and if I look back, I don't want to be, like, "Wahhhh I wish I went."

Prom, on the other hand, fluck that.

I liked high School. I was on the drill team and swim team and also played co-ed softball. Couldn't hit but a wicked fielder.

Took a lot of goof off classes and fun classes. I liked science, Oceanography, geography and map drawing. Still have nightmares about algebra and having to go up to the blackboasrd and work problems. What a waste of time THAT was, lol.

A fun time and wish I was still in some of those classes, lol.

Prom, on the other hand, fluck that.

Don't miss your Prom--it's a lot of fun and a chance to impress others with your devastatingly fashionable clothes a la Beau Brummel.

I liked my freshman year, but then it went downhill from there. Since I got married when I wasn't quite 17, I didn't go my senior year, but finished through correspondence school. I agree with Ren, though...go to the events. It's better to go and find out than to wish you had later.

:)

You are right with the not wanting to regret not going, imo.

High school was a blast in my past! It was an awesome experience. You may look back at it much differently than you do now.

I went to my Sr. Prom only because it was expected of seniors to go. I took my date to a nightclub where they wouldn't let her drink because she wasn't 18. I had just turned 18 so I could drink but chose not to so as to not embarrass her. We double dated with another couple and the other girl did drink and then proceeded to upchuck all over my car. Not the best of high school memories.

College on the other hand was a blast. I have happyt memory after happy memory about those years.

I'm definately going to prom. However, it's just the academics that I'm bored with. Out of six classes, the only one that requires me to work is AP Calculus. I don't like that class, though. The teacher is such a smart ass...

I'll live :)
