high school

[idfc]

This may be kinda random but i was wondering like does anyone else who is in high school now or looking back feel that it took forever or went by fast? Like its probably me but like since i remember esp. in the 8th grade both my parents and basically every adult ive ever talked to told me that high school went by very fast and that i should enjoy it. At this point i think its taking 4ever and im just waiting to go to college. Like the 2 years ive been there seem as though they were stretched into 12. So my question to all of you who have graduated or are still in high school is how fast or slow does high school seem to you?

During the whole 14 years I attended school each year seemed to creep by. Only towards HS did they seem to go a bit quicker. However, I made up for that by failing the 10th grade, so even HS also took a long time to get through due to my failure.

Now, once I entered the working world after graduating everything quickly changed. The years started going by much more quickly. It was a very noticable difference between the passing of a school year and that of a work year. At least for me it was.

At school you think it's taking forever and you just want to leave. Once your out you think it went by way to fast. I guess spending 12 or so years of your life in an institution really makes you conditioned to it.

Grade 9 and 10 went by pretty fast. In Grade 10 I ended up getting into a bit of trouble so I switched schools. The new school absolutely adored me. So I think I might have went 3 months in Grade 11, and about 6 months on and off in Grade 12. I was allowed to take everything home to do it, since it was a bit aways from my home. (I got away with a lot more than others did.)

I made a choice in June to, instead of graduating, go back to my home school and take a few more classes. I need a couple sciences to get into Nursing, I could've done that in University and paid for it, or I can do it in Highschool for free. So I'm holding off my diploma, and taking another year of grade 12 this year.

All in all it's gone by pretty fast, and even though I'd love to be done with it, I'll cherish this last year I have.

It went by fast for me though it did take more then 4 years.

My year went By fast although All I did was Help at school dances and Sleep like a Drunk high dude and do Drugs. Hopefully I don't fall back into this habits this year. I also got into Fights and saids sexual stuff in class. XD my teachers loved me XD.

But yeah My school year went by fast and I'm planning on enjoying it this year. AND NOT DOING DRUGS.

It always seems quicker reflecting on it in retrospect than when it is happening.

I miss those days so much, life was so much easier back then!! I would gladly take homework over work & tests over bills!!

All those in high school still; enjoy it, live it up & have fun with it, because you only get to do it once!!

idk like high school just seems really boring like i feel like im ready to move on sort of like id be ready for some kind of change cuz right now it seems to me like high school is never ending. I guess u start feeling like ud be willing for any kinda change when you reach a point in your life thats become stagnant

Well I just graduated this year and I can Honestly say that HS flew by especially my senior year. Now we all are moving off to different colleges next month and I want get to see some of my close friends everyday anymore like I have for the past 13 years. We were all taking the other night and someone said (not me but I agree 100%) I'm tired of growing up can we go back to Kindergarten. Enjoy it while your there because I see now what everyone was saying when they told me that. College isn't as great as they make it out to be its alot of work and stress.

That sums it up for me, thanks Lukie. :smile1:

Yeah I agree with Lukie, except senior year went by so slow because it was so stressful and drama filled

I absolutely detested the academic side of highschool... I did graduate but I had to take summer school and graduated a little late... I love learning new things and I love taking classes... I just dont do homework.

But highschool was also extremely fun. I had the opportunity to hang out with friends everyday and I was able to learn new things. All in all I wish I could go back to school... but not be under any pressure to pass classes.

The first semester of my freshmen year went by extreeeeeeeeemely slow, but the last last semester was easy and quick!

 

[MarcusBear]

I dropped out of high school so I suppose you could say it went by quickly.

 

[shadow prince of hearts]

that feeling of length only lasts the first two years. After that things should speed up exponentially and you'll be struggling to keep up with it.

I went to 4 high schools in three states. It was slow as molasses, but looking back, I have barely any memories of it.

 

[mizzycub]

I am hoping my last year goes quicker than the rest. I can't wait to go to uni and get away from my parents.

Once I hit grade 10 it started to fly by fast, grades 7-9 took awhile. I went to a rather small school where they offered only the academic classes that were required for graduation. We didn't even get Art as an option. You couldn't even take Physical Ed after grade 10 since only grade 10 physical ed was required to graduate. For the 10 CTS credits you needed we got religion, woo hoo. Might have been a little more fun if we got a couple classes that weren't all work. I ended up taking all 3 sciences even though all I needed was physics because that is all they had to offer.

I guess years go faster as you get older. I can remember how in elementary school, each year seemed to last forever. Week after week after week of staring at the boring white cinderblock walls and the clock. But high school seemed to go pretty fast, and college went by even faster. Now it is weird to look back and realize it's now been 11 years since I set off for my first day at high school. I can still remember how anxious I felt standing out at the bus stop and what I was wearing, and it is amazing to think how much has changed since then.
