To your senior year in high school.
And tell me how shitty it was so I feel better about mine.

I was in a boy's Catholic school, full of Brooklyn guidos who all thought farting in class was the funniest thing ever, so.

Also, I had a bad mohawk that looked more Fraggle Rock than Punk Rock.

What else...My knee was banged up from lacrosse, and I had a cool hat stolen from my locker.

Prom I do not miss.

I went to 2 - my ex boyfriends and mine. Both with my ex boyfriend. We were ex-es at both. I had a new beau already. Not good times. Not at all.

Failure on the photo - I try once more.

Oh yea, and rhinestones between the breasts? Not a smart idea, friends. I don't recommend it.

My prom dress is to be made of duct tape, and I'm excited.

That's all I"m excited for, that and graduation.

My dress for this year has little rhinestones all over the upper half.
It's cute.

My freshman year was the shitty year.
I had a mop for "hair", I treated people like
shit, and I wasted the majority of my money
on stupid shit I didn't need.

Everything else was smooth sailing for me.

I had an impromptu high school reunion this weekend and revisited all the fails and wtfs, such as my possibly secretly autistic prom date who had a panic attack in the men's bathroom for an hour.

I fell off a stage riser thing (about 5 feet) and landing badly, got really hurt during a practice run of Grease, the day before the closing show.
Almost missed out on the last performance of my last year. D:

My freshman year was my shitty year, too. That was the year I got alienated from all of my friends because I threw a fit at school and ended up calling one girl who was trying to be nice to me a slut.
That year was bad.

The other years have been fine, though.

I finally got to be the Technical director for most school events.
I ended up spending the whole year training the same kids over and over
how zoom their cameras in and out. One of the kids explain in detail how what he wanted to do to another one of the guys I was training over the headset.
this was the highlight of the year

also the creepy art teacher touched my leg at lunch one time and told me that she "Loooved the pants I was wearing"

I spent most of it in a dark room, and went half days so it really wasn't all that bad.

But....yeah it was pretty shitty and I just wanted to leave.

So I'm walking out of high school for the last time and I call my mom and I just start bawling.

My mom says, "Honey, are you crying?"

Through my blubbering I mumble, "Ye..eesss"

She responds, "Out of happiness, right?"

And I stop for a moment and say, "FUCK YES!"

I hated high school. In high school I realized I was smarter than most of my teachers which was traumatizing as school meant everything to me. In high school I chose furthering my "career"/"future" by stepping on others - I am not proud of this and it did nothing to further my "career"/"future".

Good things about high school: who I am now.

Reference point: Mean Girls is based on my high school.

senior year was one of the most fun years. classes were fun and easy, and we totally bullshitted our way into the greatest mythology video final project ever, which may or may not show up on youtube someday. i was still mega awkward and shy, but not as worried and self conscious about it as i am now, which is kinda weird. we just didn't give a fuck and had a good time. those days were fun, but i'm glad they're over.

I couldn't have asked for a better high school experience. Granted I was in an advanced program for most of my life so I spent 4 hours out of my day in a dark room printing photos for my senior year. I finished up my course requirements in my 11th year.

Just remember in 10 years or so you won't be thinking back that often. I didn't even go to the reunion.
Relax a little bit and remember it will pass quickly. Soon you'll be in debt and working a shitty job. Yay!

I remember senior year being only one of two good years for me in high school. I see no problem. It's actually a little upsetting because I haven't spoken to a lot of friends in a while; granted, I do have many new friends to fill their void. Just enjoy it because life won't be the same when it's over.

my senior year of highschool involved being in some guy drama with my ex best friend who constantly took pot shots at me when ever i went to shows in our area, me finally getting my parents to stop thinking i was gay ( i think ), almost failing highschool due to a keyboard and piano class, running amuck through the halls all the time, having a huge crush on like a million girls and not acting on any of them, and the finalization of my mindset that alcohol is not really needed in my life due to how my highschool ( and now college friends ) act.

it had it's ups and downs, and honestly there's a few key things i'd go back in change if i could, but i'm happy with the way it turned out

mine was an early start to failing at any kind of higher education. it was fun at the time and I've done well enough since, but seriously, it's stupid that some shit that should have happened didn't. mostly because I was oblivious, distracted, unmotivated, and lacked help/guidance.

i can sum up my high school experience in two words:

i think i'm like one of 3 people that actually had a pretty awesome time in high school. of course, this is looking back. at the time i probably hated a lot of it. but not those two parts.

Okay I'm going to read this shit fest later, but let me tell you

The beginning was AW-FUL
okay.
I had a TERRIBLE sinus infection which drained into my FUCKING JAW OF ALL PLACES
I had this goiter on the side of my face and had to miss school for the first time.....AND I WAS OUT FOR A WHOLE MONTH IN PAIN--NO FOOD, NO SLEEP, JUST STRAIGHT UP HORRIBLE PAIN

and also
I spent most of the year hanging out in our school's theater.
Building sets, re-writing "violent" scenes and mending costumes.
Not that is was horrible, but I mean...I wasn't spending my senior year like anyone else....
VUTEVER
I was also really focused on academics, soccer and track[even though I sucked so hard....how can running be so hilariously difficult]

Also, no one asked me to prom. I spent 20 dollars on a dress and decided the night before prom to go.
I didn't get a class ring or senior pictures[what a fucking waste of time/money, imo].
The best part=graduating.

also, if you're not smoking weed or drinking alcohol yet--DO IT.
I wish I would have in HS--maybe I wouldn't have resented all the people having "fun", but at the time I was trying REALLY HARD to be a "good" person and stay focused.
AND FUCK THAT

thc would have been an amazing thing in h.s.

I hope this doesn't read like I'm still a bitter cunt because I'm really not!!!!!!
I'm totally thankful that my h.s. and town were/are such shitholes--I may have never left!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO HAPPY that I did! and will only continue to travel!![light at the end of the tunnel]

Early highschool was embarrassing.
By tenth grade, I was comfortable in my own skin and grew up.
Junior year ruled.
Senior year, I moved onto better friends than the group I followed through previous years.
Now I don't feel like I have to have others' approval to feel good about myself. One of the best decisions ever.

My senior year was pretty hilarious. I almost got expelled a few times, I got kicked out of battle of the bands, slacked my ass off and barely graduated with an abysmal 1.7 gpa.

Don't get me wrong, guys, I've had the most amazing high school experience.
It just seems that every student in my class has reverted back to a junior high mentality and every teacher wants to treat us like we graduated about three years ago and it doesn't work.

I was a senior year slacker. Did my AP english homework in 5 minutes during lunch the day of. Bullshitted every paper I wrote. Got A's on papers about books I never read. Graduated top 5%. My high school was a joke.
I didn't drink/smoke/fuck. In retrospect, I'm not even sure how I spent my time.
I didn't go to my prom. My boyfriend dumped me the week before. Wah wah wah.

KISS got popular again.
I got kicked out of the school system I went to since kindergarten (as I no longer lived there and they found out) and I had to go to this school full of hicks and assholes.
Raves were all the rave.
I broke up with my high school sweetheart just before prom and didn't get to go.
I graduated a semester early, taking a nightshift job that resulted in my being falsely accused of a crime called "conversion" 6 days after I turned 18, resulting in my being arrested and sentenced to 6 months good behavior.

That shit ALL sucked.
