*shrug* Who cares if it gets harder? At least it's something new...I've been in the same school district for thirteen years. I need the excitement, even if it's more difficult! ^_^
BTW, I'm done, too. It was really fast for all near 600 of us. We were all done in two hours. The longest part was finding my family afterwards!

moving on
High school was great, college is 100x better... assuming you want to go to college. The hardest thing about graduating is when alot of your close friends are now spread out across the country (and sometimes world). But college is not as strict with it's little social cliques. I'm a nerd and I actually have normal friends too
! And if you want a good college: Purdue will accept you with open arms! ::end advertisement... where's my check::

While you may be joking about the unfortunate "popular" kids, I actually find it kind of true. I didn't like high school at all and most certainly wasn't a popular kid, but now I <3 college and enjoy having something relatively worse (high school) to compare it to.malictus wrote:It only gets BETTER after high school Trust me on that one.
Unless you're one of those unfortunate 'popular' kids; if so, you've already peaked and life will be a big series of disappointments from here on out
I'm also with Green Tea on loving it at Purdue. I don't exactly have experience going to other colleges, but that's just because I like Purdue so much and don't want to leave it (hence why I'm staying on campus over the summer).

This is going to sound kind of odd, but make sure that you keep up with your studies and such.
I'm a full time student and and employed part time. I find myself very busy, and I find that I actually accomplish a lot. But I don't feel as if I'm going anywhere in my life.
So make sure, after you graduate, that you hold onto your hobbies and keep up with your interests. Keeping a grasp on who you are is very, very important.
What Green Tea said is true as well. The friends you had in high school scatter the state and country. My best friend from high school only lives a couple cities south of where I live, but we never see each other or talk to each other anymore. It's like a whole new life began, the old falling away, the new growing from what used to be.
Congratulations, everybody, on graduating! The very best of wishes in reaching your future goals!

An actual signature will come soon, I suppose.

Personally, I hated high school. Yeah, I liked seeing my friends, but I got sick of the social conformist, popularity contest bullshit. It made it worse that the school I went to concidered itself 'elite,' and tried to run itself like a private academy. Defenitely not someplace I fit in, so I had to fight the administration every step of the way towards graduation...
I'm glad high school is over. There's more pressure once you graduate, but personally, I feel I'm better off now. I can focus on what I want to do, not what class I have to take to make the school look good, so they don't expell me for no good reason.

I've had to deal with that shit for the last two years of high school tooPheadra wrote:If you're going to college after highschool...welcome to being in debt, having to pay a shit load of money for some stupid book, and being broke.....
Oh and ummm dont party too much.
![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
DAMN ACADEMY!
lol
Yeah, I'm now done with highschool also.
But I'm a lot more prepared for college than most people, being as I lived in a dorm, went to college classes,... and payed for the fucking books lol. Being poor is no damn fun at all.
BSU blows btw, don't go there unless you want to get drunk all the time, cause that seems to be all they do.
*advice*
Def keep up with work
Do not party much, you'll regret it when you wake up hung over for a test (not from personal experience, but friends lol)
What they tell you about not playing games and shit, don't listen, It's vital to keep sanity. Just be responsible about it.
Oh yeah, and I GET TO GO TO IU! OH YAY!
lol, So easy to get in, and yet, I am dissapointed that I didn't have the work ethic to apply anywhere else.
YAGUCHI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I actually have a really good job, and didn't go to college at all.
They do exist, don't let the elitist suburbanites fool you, but if you're looking for a trade/labor job, be forewarned:
They're hard to find, and it's getting harder. They're still out there, but you might have to go through a job agency, or find someone who works there to get in the door.
