Quote:the few teachers that apparently didn't have the same experience I had in school saying things like "these are the greatest times you'll have in life" must be real losers because my life right now is a LOT better.
Exactly. The people that say that high school are the best years of your life are the people that are disillusioned in adulthood.
The best memories from my high school years involved playing hockey and hanging out with my friends who have already graduated. I don't think I ever want to go back to the days where if you didn't have a DUI you weren't considered as cool as the several that did. (FIVE people from my former circle of friends had an impaired within a year after getting their driver's license, and one had one two years BEFORE he even turned sixteen - good reason why I won't keep in touch with those guys) And all the bullshit high school drama which I pretended to care about until halfway through grade eleven and then the bullshit drama I was FORCED to care about the rest of the way I can easily leave behind as well. Little girls are the devil.
A month and a half out of high school and life is already better for me. But I'm sure that my 18th birthday on the last day of school has helped with that also. *ahem*
