School is overrated. I wish I had went often enough to graduate early.
If high school is 'the best years of your life' like I've heard from so many older folks, I might as well kill myself right now.
College is different though. THOSE years may very well be what the old guys were talking about.

exactly.
As a bonefide "old folk" I can assure you that all you remember about high school are the hi-lites and lo-lights. All the bullshit in between gets forgotten.
Same for college just the stakes are higher (after 18 the illegal shit stays with you for life) and the juvenile pranks are less freqent or more elaborant.
The main thing I miss about high school is getting to play football in pads. I went from a very small high school (my class was the largest ever at 126 people) to a college that had just won their 3rd National Championship in 5 years. I tried to walk-on intending to play special teams or just be a practice dummy. I didn't make it past the first week. Those guys were maniacs!! They also went on to win their 4th National Championship that year. I stayed on the sidelines but as a cheerleader.
Not a bad trade off.
Whie they were killing one another in 100+ degree south GA heat and I had my hand stuck between the legs of the hottest chicks! aaahhhhh....... memories!!!!!!!!
