Hmm, mixed feelings. Not the best period, not the worst.
I got on with everyone, and certainly had some riotous times, but during it, I kind of had a sense that the whole hierarchy thing (the uber popular or hard guys, hot girls etc) was temporary and that no matter how real or important it may have seemed at the time, that in a few years none of that shit would matter.
and it didn't. I blagged my way through school enough to get decent grades, but felt more than anything I learnt about life, not academia, and that's maybe why the following years were better and more productive.
I saw one of the (if not the) hottest/popular girls from back then about 8 years later, pushing a pram with two kids in it driving her crazy while smoking a fag, and saw that time had not been kind
