I cant even breathe in the hallway when its like that! Oh and at lunch time...by the time you get ur lunch n find a place to sit...its time to go to ur next class...which is my last class of the day because i have lunch at ONE O'CLOCK!!!!!! so i eat lunch have one class then go home!!! its crazy!!!

[ohh_kristina]

tomorrow is my first day of college. :rolleyes:

my high school experience was similar to what you described. not fun at all (for me).

[Linds]

I didn't know any schools got out at different times? This is the first time I've ever heard of that...:confused:

[ThEmAdHaTtEr]

Im a sophmore, and today marked the second week of school. Same deal with us, everyone out at the same time. Just bring your lunch or something, its a lot easier. Just say excuse me and things like that, no biggie. Well I hope HS is fun for you, because I love it. Its good to get out of the house and meet some new people every once in a while.

My first day I was in and out...only a half day. I got my timetable and went home. Skipped the speach that th principal gave us with some friends. My lunch startes at 12.30 and ends at 1 30. 4 periods a day. I had a lot of fun my first year, now its kinda wierd....I want to go back and see all my friends again.
Have Fun,
-Reptilez
P.S. Skool for me starts on Sept. 2nd

[Emily-Fisher]

School starts for me Sept. 3rd. Wow Reptilez, only 4 periods a day?! We have like... 150!!

[lordkovacs]

wow... highschool. I don't remember my first day at all. I think I'm a dinosaur now. approaching mid 20's...ouch!

[reptilez]

And when we get to about half the year we have exams, then another 4 classes for the rest of the year. and each class is like 75min long.

[Bryce Masuk]

This year is my last and every year gets easyier I managed to pass the entire year with out doing ANY homework last year :)

[Classic]

I see a career change in my future and will be going to school for the first time in a long time soon.

[Invictus]

I want to go back to school and get some technical certifications. (Specifically Oracle). First day of high school though... gawd, that was 13 years ago for me! hehehe.

One word of advice, J.J. - DON'T drop out, no matter what. And get all your 30 level courses. I have almost 7 years of experience in I.T., and it's even getting hard for me to find jobs because I didn't get a degree. And because I didn't finish high school, I can't get a degree, and because I have bills to pay, I don't have time to go back and finish high school, etc. etc. School's a beeotch, but tough it out, you'll be glad you did.

[JeffT]

Well mine isnt that crampt, only like 2000 pply i think. But there are a lot of gangs.

[Bryce Masuk]

High school gangs are pitiful or at least around here. Stupid kids talking crap telling everybody about the crimes they commit its a good way to get a record quickly

[Pookie]

Well good luck in school everyone! This will be my last year of college then i look for a real job! Ugh! Enjoy it while it lasts and learn all you can...i think everyone here will tell you how important an education really is! Plus, how will you be able to afford all your snakes and reptiles w/out a good paying job? ;)

[Emily-Fisher]

Hehe Pookie, I'm in grade 6 and already have 2 real jobs!! :D

[stkkts]

High school is awful. Its nothing but social clics, and no one takes their education seriously because no one really wants to be there. So all everyone does is find someone lower on the social ladder than themselves, just so they could pick on that person, and feel better about themself. The only class I had in highschool that I enjoyed, and walked away from with some knowledge was woodshop, and now that has been cancelled in most schools, along with most other arts programs.

College on the other hand, that was the best 4.5 years of my life. I wish I could go back. Everyone is there because they want to be. There are no gangs in college, no one picking on each other, everyone just hangs out with the people they are friendly with, and leaves everyone else alone. (except for the immature freshmen) If you get a chance to go away to college, do it, its one of the best experiences ever.

Man I feel so old. I think im 23,......I gotta stop losing track of when my birthdays are :)

Highschool was a war of good and bad. I think those are the years that really shape your personality for your future. I loved it and oh god, I have nightmares of it as well. Choose your friends wisely and for the right reasons- don't care what other people think and stand up for yourself, however, do it in a respectful manner- it'll go a long way. But on the otherside- have fun, get on the teachers good sides, and find a pad of hallpasses- use them at your discression to make wading thru the halls easier! :)

[jncoclub]

Oh yeah- and college, that has the potential to be the same as highschool, but everyone is bigger, has more hair, can care less more often, and can party a whole lot better.

PS- the super popular kids in highschool- aren't going to be all that popular in college- don't feel you need to kiss their @$$es!

[Lisa]

My high school was like what J.J. describes, until I switched to an alternative school which had about as much structure as college. I loved alternative school.

[Colonel SB]

[Smilts]

Well im going to high school this year, sept 2nd after labour day. It seems like everyone that lives someone where else has different times of getting out of school and stuff, weird, but i look forward to going to high school, hope its gonna bejust as fun as when i was in grade 6, i loved it cause there was only 20 kids in that class(it was a small school) and most f them are still my friends. Well good luck to me when i go to high school

[choriona]

HIgh school was a lot of fun. The only thing I regret about it is not taking physics. Now, after a university degree, I have to go back to the basics and take physics with a bunch of first years. All they do is complain about the structure, thinking they can beat it if they complain long enough.
Don't make the mistake I did. If you want any sort of job in sciences TAKE PHYSICS. Even though it may not be a requirement for a degree, it is for grad school and now its biting me in the a$$!
And something my dad always says to me.... "once you have a degree, diploma, whatever, NO ONE can take that away from you. You always have it. Even if you forget everything you learned, it is still on paper and it belongs to you."

So tough it out. Smile. Have as much fun in high school as possible without ruining your life or your parents life. Believe me, once you're out, there is no more time for reckless, irresponsible fun.

[JeffT]

Emily, just curious, what are your 2 jobs?

[XxRachxX]

jeeesus!! 4000 pupils?! nicky?
eep! ours was only just 1000, and it was WAY cramped!
i hated high school!! 7 periods, about 45 mins each. one break for 20 mins at 11 i think and 1 hours break at lunch at 12.50, cant remember, it was about 16 months ago now! i LOVE college though! i love how its totally unstructured and your days vary from like 9 till 5pm or 12-3pm.... lots of breaks, lots of sitting around campus and lots of table football!! lol

[Amiechann]
