High School

[Johnny1996]

Lately I've found myself thinking about my time in high school a lot. Not just my senior year or one year in particular, but the entire four years. I don't know if it's normal for people who have recently graduated or not, especially those who had an experience like I did, but I'm not so sure if I'd keep things the way they were if I could go back and do it all over again. I mean yeah, if I knew I could keep the lessons learned and the most important people in my life if I could redo it, then I probably would. I'd go back to freshman year and man up so I could make a much better effort of getting the girl I wanted at the time, same thing for the following year with someone else. I'd definitely be careful who I let in my life and do a better job of keeping those who I didn't want in it out. And I'd definitely be more open with a lot of people, especially those who are now some of the absolute most important to me. I'll stop there so this doesn't get too long.

But if I were able to go back and relive my days of high school with a clean slate just like the first day of freshman year not knowing what was to come for the next four years, I probably would. My time in the school was for the most part terrible and I'd have a second chance to make it a pretty good year. But of course things may go just as bad or even worse. I could come out as the same person or someone either better or worse than I am now. Thing is, there's no way to tell, and there's definitely no possibility of changing things. For that alone I truly don't know if I would relive high school. I'm definitely not happy with my life and how it's been. Maybe part of my problem is I can't 100% accept my current and past situation is what it is and there's no changing it. I don't know. I've heard that what screws us most in life is the image of how it's supposed to be. And I just can't get rid of those thoughts.

As someone who's also fresh out of school, I have moments like this as well. I dwell on the situations that I could've made, but didn't, and how much different my life would've been as a result. That encompasses all things like friendships, relationships, the effort I put forth in classes, etc.

Reading some of your posts here, my high school experience certainly wasn't as bad as yours, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't do it all over again if given the chance. If only 9th grade me was more aware of how fast the next few years were going to pass. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyways, my county's first day of school is September 9th. I can already tell that a big part of me is going to feel like I should be getting ready to get on the bus, and it's going to feel strange knowing that's not true.

The great thing for me being an alumni during [American] football season is that I don't have to listen to students in the band either asking about what the hell is going on in the game or just talking aimlessly. That used to drive me nuts when I was still a student in the band years ago. So nice to sit with the adults that actually understand the game now.

I just went to football games at my highschool to hang out with friends who wasn't allowed to go to events outside of after-school events

That was me last year as I never really cared about football that much.

However, I think I've finally understood how it works due to being in the band. Maybe. We'll see next Friday night!

In my entire time in high school I never once went to any activities, be it dances, sports events or otherwise. I was only at a football game once and that was when my sister was still in school, but I'd definitely like to go to at least one. I've always wanted to, I've just never had the transportation to get me there or anyone to go with. Truth be told I get more enjoyment out of watching high school and college football than I do NFL.

All any of us can really do is accept what has happened, although that curiosity factor will always stick with me and certainly not just with school. I think the same can be said for anyone else.

I hope you have a good first day and rest of the year. It can be hectic lol.

I graduated in June. I was talking about how weird it's going to feel not going:

Ah well. It probably wouldn't be as bad as some other mistakes I've made. It happens.

Really embarrassed to be an alumni of my high school right now. Just got home from an absolute clown show of a football game even though the team won, and the student section was being a bunch of god damn morons. They were talking all the time and not even paying attention to the game, being very disrespectful to the band (and several band parents), and were being classless when players were injured (full description below).

During halftime (and throughout the game before that) they were throwing a basketball through a hoop and yelling like idiots when people scored. They especially were doing it when the band was playing at halftime, and then some parents took the ball and they got butthurt because of that. Screaming at those that took it, booing profusely, and staring at those who took the ball with angry looks for the rest of the game. Then on top of it, when players were down, they were yelling wildly and also tried doing the wave despite multiple people (none of which were the band parents they yelled at) asking them to stop. Absolutely classless behavior from them, and thanks to these dumbassess, the school that we played against probably things we're a bunch of douchebags. I probably wouldn't even bother going to any more games if not for my loyalty to the band program and will be thinking before I attend any more games. But I damn sure won't bother going to anything else now unless it's a band only event if these kids want to be disrespectful little punks.
