Oh how I coveted all of my lucky friends who attended an 'American high school' their lives seemed as easy as falling off a log.

High school was a bit...suffocating, now that I look back from college. Mostly the problem was that I wasn't very proactive about having fun and unwinding. The hour commute each way to school and ton of work (and being an obsessive overachiever) didn't help either, but that's certainly no excuse. Not that I didn't have any fun - but I feel like I wasted a lot of my time (besides the work) and didn't make my downtime a concrete priority.
I have even more work now in college, but I've learned to just be more laid back, to not be afraid to go outside my comfort zone, meet new people, and to just not waste my time (still working on that one...) |
hey, you went to HS around cambridge?
and you're bulgarian! i have a bunch of Bulgarian friends. cool people! |

yeah high school, college was so much sweeter i don't care what anyone says. drinking 15 beers and being sloppy is way more fun than drinking 15 beers and being wasted. plus college has hotter girls who more and cooler more available DEA scheduled substances to fool around with.
but seriously i just graduated university and so many people leave with the belief that it's time to be serious because you need to be serious to make money which is not true at all. that e. i had a job at bear stearns before they went under that i got in like january and was supposed to start my 'career' there this past june. i'm stoked i've been able to sit on my ass all summer rippin gravity bongs, playing online poker, reading the wall street journal, watching EURO 2008, the tour de france, the olympics and now the DNC in denver.
do your own e. one thing i remember from literature class...
"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference." |

what do you remember from it ?
have any regrets?
did it go by fast?
im asking because i start school next week as a senior. :)
so share your experiences. |
Hated it. I wish I could go back and change a lot of things, especially my yearbook quote.
Anyways, senior year seems all big now, but after a couple years, it won't mean a damn thing anymore. You'll be in college, where real education starts. You'll be an adult making your own decisions. Even as a senior in high school, you're still a child, and nobody really gives a about you unless your a college bound athlete with agents drooling over you to go to their university. I hardly ever think about my senior year except for how f*cked up I used to get all the time.. |

You had prom at the WTC? |
yep. graduating class of 2001. our class decided at the last minute that we wanted to have our senior prom at a baller location, but they were booked completely until the end of June... so our prom actually ended up being held after our graduation, and the last prom held at Windows On The World.

I loved my Senior year. I actually went to school about 50% of the time but still managed not to get in trouble for it even once, pull well over a 3.0 average, and generally not run into the kinds of issues I had the first three years of high school.
For me, Senior year was great. Prom was odd (interestingly enough for basically the same reason as Myra - went with a girl I'd known forever, good friend, didn't want it to be more than that, she did), but in general it was a pretty fun and laid back year. |

my ex boyfriend was originally from Brookfield, but was living out in NY. he decided to come back to be closer to his family and i was kind of at a point in my life where i felt like i needed to make some big changes to avoid getting stuck where i was at... so i decided to follow him out here. we broke up a year later but i stuck around since i had a really good job.
aaaand 6 years later and i'm still here. must be something in the beer. :cool: |

| Only thing I regretted not doing was putting that freshman in hospital for stealing my GF who was senior that year with me lol. Other then that our last prom was a living hell because the junior that year felt they where so special and wanted to steal the show but in end 12 junior football players got asses beat and where at prom with black eyes lol. |
