It so seriously wasn't. I am actually going to be in town when my 10th reunion is happening and I'm not going.

If i could go back to highschool and start again with what i know now... i'd be quite happy ;)

Yeah.. the 4 years of my highschool was the one of the best years of my life..back then life was simple and things were great..well except for the last few months of my senior year..but hell even those last few months.. won't destroy my great memories of my highschool life.. highschool rocks for me!!

i want a time machine, to go back to your high school :error

not even close.

the best 4 years of my life are still to come

I had a blast ,sure miss all my friends growing up though

it was the best in terms of being young. I had a lot of friends and we go out often. But looking back I did some things that I now find very childish and stupid. Nonetheless it was fun.

highscool was great - univerity time seems even better - now it's fabulous -hmm what next will loose adjectives to use - or will be worst :error

Do any of them know what you do now? :winkwink: What was your highschool reunion like? Who became the most successful?

I guess so, it's then that I had my first sexual encounter. ;)

I had good times in high school, but prefer leaving it the time capsule. This would be my 15 year reunion if they actually had one. I know what you mean about the old friends.

When I left h.s. I prolly kept in touch with a good oh... 7-10. But then after I got back from college, they, and I noticed I had changed. I had little in common anymore with some of them, and they were still caught up in 1990. They honestly had just not changed at all. So I cut most of them loose.

I still have two good friends I've known since grade school I golf, play pool and hang out with from back in the days. I have anther who I rarely talk to, and when I do all he talks about is the past. Luckily I do not hear from him much, and when he does call, I generally dodge him. So I mainly get his rhymes, and riddles about the days of old.

While h.s. was a fun time, and I had no real grief, I wouldn't nessesarily NOT go back and live it again, but I definately like the journey's my life's taken since. I would not say those were the best years of my life, as I can think of a hundred other things, places I've been, and experiences since that I have enjoyed. College was anther hoot, and a lot of fun, but I don't think I'd wanna go back and live it again.

All that being said, I always crack a grimmace when I hear people talking about h.s. as the time of your life, and that quote from Varisty Blues were everything was about h.s. football (which I played) and being heros, and blah blah. Sad some people actually think like that.

:Oh crap

Went to my first, meaning the first one I attended, high school reunion two years ago. Nothing changed among the smart asses. They immediately gravitated to each other at the dinner. I did not enjoy high school at all, other than when the Four Preps did their two albums at our school. I was happy to see that several average students had become very successful on their own instead of riding the coattails of their mother or father. SEveral were able to retire in Hawaii. :thumbsup But, I shall not attend another. They are not for socializing, they are for bragging rights as to who owns the hottest car and the biggest house! And I was very surprized to learn how many had died! I.E. Viet Nam, heart failure, suicide! :(

no ... :) :) :)

High school was a great time in my life. I spent two years in high school in my hometown in NJ, and then two years in Canada and Massachusettes. I ended up graduating early, and arrived in my dress blues as a US Marine for my high school graduation from my original class in NJ.

But I think the Marines was the best four years of my life.

Keep in mind that your friends are all in different stages of their lives, depending on how old they are. It seems most of my old high school friends are losers who stayed in the general area; Few did well and most are single parents one way or another.

It was a blast a fun 4 yuears

no, although it wasn't bad. i enjoyed my early 20's a lot more and will enjoy my late 20's even more.

Sounds pretty similar to me. One of those kids with natural ability that hated the learning experience because it was totally uninteresting and ended up bored.. I didn't so much hate the time though because really aside from the immense frustration of schooling.. having no responsibility and finding out things for the first time - sex, drugs etc was a fun period. I look back on that time of my life with great fondness, but more for the extra-curricular activities.

Although I must add my closest friends are still from high school which appears to be at odds with a lot of people's experiences. I only did a 2 year degree at college then 4 years at a large company before working for myself - not enough time especially compared to such a formative setting to challenge the ties i made with several people in highschool.

However I sure as fuck wouldn't want to go back to being that person and doing those things for the rest of my life.

My 4 years in High school was the definitely the best for me.
The Sportsfest, the girls, the faculties, everything. It's something that you won't forget wherever your future leads you.

Highschool for me wasn't the best years of my life though it has memorable memories, yeah it's really good to see all your classmates way back then and something has change, we can't deny the fact that others are in success and others are not... Reminisce memories is really good when someone do remembers it all...

And for me during my college days was the best years of my life, I have learned to be bad and to be good person ("trying")... matter of surviving and live...

nope life since then has been much better

Highschool was only 3 years for me and it was fun for the most part. My 4 years in university however were the best 4 years of my life!

High school and college for that matter were long, boring streteches of torture for me. If those were the best times of my life, I would kill myself right now. If only knew then what I know now! I am having the best times of my life now in my thirties.

High school was horrible for me. Worst years of my life.

I went to a school reunion last year, for the guys it was a my house is bigger than yours expericence. But when I looked at the girls there was a real pattern, those that were good looking, popular at school had all married locally had the most boring lives and had never done a thing, it was the ulgy chicks and the quiet ones who had totally transformed. With the guys, there lives were pre written at 18, but girls can go anywhere it seems.

so who here posts on somethingawful forums as well and is stealing thread ideas

i would say the best years of my life are right now. i have an easy job and work my own hours and dont really have any worries about anything.

Wow, I've never been there before. It's a really busy board and it even costs $10 to be able to post. How does a board like that get so big?

First time I've heard of it but just checked it out, seems like a cool board. Pretty funny coincidence about the threads though. I actually thought of this topic after reading a thread by AaronM.

hells no.

It wasn't all that bad, but it definately was the worst 5 years ( 5 years in Ontario ;) )

i love my high school life because there are lots of good memories. It may not be the best part of my life but that is my molding stage.

i think my college days is the best, my friends and I used to go in disco, out of town, bar hopping etc. errr i missed my friends

Meloman, I get what you're saying.

But if everyone was a big time porn company owner, or a rockstar, etc..etc...there would be no one to pump your gas, collect your garbage etc etc.

It's the circle of life man...some people get to eat, others get eaten.

Is money all you care about? Is it all you have in your life? Is it all you think about?

If you get out more you might have something to talk about with people, I'm sure no one interested to hear how you set 16 hours in front of the computer a few days ago.

btw I dropped in the end of 11th grade....and moved out of my moms house :)
high school sucked balls....kids suck!
