I finish high school tuesday.

Im very very sad about this , i was nostalgic at the start of last year (not this one , the one where it would lasted 2 more years) , i was nostalgic in advance in fact , i knew that i would be sad right now, i've loved high school with all my heart , not the school but the people , i know that i would keep contact with tome of them bc we're very close but it's like 20% at best , i know that people always come and go but what if we don't want people to go away even if it's inevitable , maybe I get attached too quickly to people o know we won't be friends forever because life works like this and no one can change it

I will still give my very best to stay in contact with the multiple friend groups but with people moving for university etc etc it will be hard tbh
When i was a kid i was so excited to be the age i am today but i've realized with time that it's lowkey shit because it ends , i just wanna be a teenger forever , being able to hang out all night in the capital with friends without worrying about all the boring adult stuff

i also know that the twenties (at least the beginning) are shit because youy basically have the same financial situation of a ttenager (broke) but with responsibilities this time

With all respect but I doubt you're gonna be that close with your highschool friends within next years. I felt the same and somehow I live despite many people go from status of friend into a buddy/acquintance.

My highschool was ok, I felt neutral finishing it, I was in private one so it was very easily to know everyone, there wasn't anything special in it, especially that my highschool was located in neighbour town, so most of the times I was still hanging out with my primary-middle school buddies to drink some vodka and beers. [back than friends - whom I knew back than for 9-10+ years already - nota bene, gonna meet few-several of them again within few days in my rural town event, met them at recent after xmass tradition event - drinking vodka outdoor at night]

The dream of that age is good when you're a kid cause you're thinking about the stuff you can do which you couldn't as a kid, but when you grow up you realise it's a shit age, cause there comes responsibilities, duties and obviously the adulthood of getting into job and becoming independent, if I knew as a kid, I would do more stuff back than.

Oh the twenties are more crazier than teenager, cause you're going into students/early career people, these parties are even crazier than the highschool ones and the people whom can handle their shit with a murderer hungover their the ones whom survives.

How did you feel at the end of high school?


Abridged version of my thought: "Welp, middle school was much better, but I think I'll have better time in university."

I felt like I was on drugs after I finished my final exam, It felt so euphoric and the world seemed a bit hazy and dreamlike.

High school wasn't bad to me but I was sure happy to complete it and I don't feel any attachment to it. Luckily me and my two friends stayed in our hometown to do university so I still catch up with them. I do wish I kept in contact with a few more acquaintances though.

Congratulations on finishing high school btw!!!!

I felt nothing, I was happy it ended and went back home XD I also probably watched anime on that day, I don't remember what it was tho.

I still have contact with my friends from high-school we see each other once a year or more as everyone is in different cities.

Relief, that's the main word to describe what i was going through.

On the 5th day of next month, it will be the official 20th anniversary of my graduation and after two full decades i still have recurring nightmares about me having done absolutely nothing for the needed written research / demo or whatever to present at the final vocal exams. Just for a mere will of telling in the future "i managed to end it all in 13 years without having ever failed one and being forced to repeat it", i needed to take that minimum 60/100 (it managed to become 67 somehow) and stop going to school forever, since i had already secretly decided way before that, even if that "specialization" kind of high school was completely useless without a further level of university education, i would have stopped with that unworthy piece of paper no matter what... ex teachers, family etc. etc. i couldn't care less if and how much they were offended, no more books and studying after the summer of 2005 except for how to learn driving a car and that was / turned out to be final.

Yeah, in hindsight i would still come back in time re-taking the bad with the good, with the consequence of having again my parents at my throat (and not being able to point out their hypocrisy for having been poor students themselves) because of me being lazy and completely ignoring my most hated subjects, but i would also have my basketball team in full health and activity, with me in first person still playing for it, with PSX and PS2 games, italian MTV Anime Night every tuesday, basketball that was still exciting to watch at every single level, music on the radio mostly good for most genres... even if i still was a ugly sociopath pathetic loser.

Returning to the ongoing summer, it was so surreal. Knowing i had no summer homework or returning to a classroom in september made me feel so happy, even if i still couldn't be completely aware of some of my major interests having already started their decline (except for anime, that on the contrary would have become bigger and bigger), i still had some days home alone with parents on holiday even if it wasn't as enjoyable thing as the summer of 2004 because of more limited availability of my longtime best friends, i replayed Spyro 2 and Crash 2 all the time even late in the night with my favorite radio station on... enjoying the moment and daydreaming about a possible main job as a basketball journalist for minor leagues. It obviously had zero chances to happen but that's another story. Obviously, me and most of my high school classmates immediately ghosted each other and never attended a end of the year dinner or real school trip before, except for one single solitary reunion at the end of 2008 and still i stayed apart for most of that evening.

So... yeah, it was a relief even if i could already feel a rising sensation of "Yeah, you slacked off and enjoyed almost every day of it, but... good luck now finding a job from zero with zero experience and a useless piece of paper. Get ready to clean toilets too even if you won't feel disgusted for it" . And that's what happened. Never regretted that i finished with high school graduation to this day, and never will. i would have still had a unhappy miserable social life even with a ph.d, check that, i had my best years in social life thanks to McDonald's and now i'm actually planning to return to it because it turned out to be better overall in every single aspect compared to my current job.

I just graduated from high school two weeks ago. My high school era wasn't anything special, though, so I didn't really feel anything and just thinking about it like, "Oh, it's finally over". Homeworks stuff, organization and clubs because I want to gain some shit experiences and another failed love confession attempt. Barely hanging out because I don't really want to and people wouldn't even think to ask me to join them for that (plus some economy situations). Basically, just nothing.

@Zakatsuki_ I did not live out the American "vision" on how to live your 20s, at least the one propagandized through their movies and on social media. I have never partied, never done drugs, do not drink, have not had one night stands etc. I do not feel like I missed out on anything though, as a child I would get brought to the pub all the time by my parent and I hated that place so I never did it as an adult.

@Zakatsuki_ the ones forcefully taking off my pants are boys, 4 of them. No girls at that time. But then couple of hours later when I joined playing cards together, I notice a girl constantly looking at me and then see down there, maybe like checking if there is a bulging in my pants because I didn't wear underpants

To socialise, to integrate, to meet new people, what's wrong with opening up and spending one night with new people? Which might later end up in more frequent meetings whom knows.

I was happy to be over and done with it, but I was also a bit stressed out during those days because I knew my college time would soon be coming. I already had my major picked out, it was just trying to piece everything together with classes at that point that was hard. I was working as a fried cook at the time so trying to make time for college was hard.

By the time of my high school ending ceremony I had already enrolled to university in a different city, and even took introductory classes there, so I didn't feel like I belonged to my high school nor cared about the people there anymore.

Yep, I had very similar feelings at the very end of high school. It was a mix of both mild happiness and sadness, but more so the latter. We had a thing called Grad Nite in our high school, and that took place shortly after the graduation ceremony. It was when fellow high school grads celebrate and party all night till the sun came up. When the sun came up and the party was over, that was the official goodbye, and that was when the mild amount of sadness kicked in. I knew that I was never going to forget that moment, and that it would feel more emotional the older I got.

It was definitely nice knowing my graduating class for so many years and watching them grow up with me though. A good percentage of my graduating class consisted of friends and classmates who I knew way back when I was just 10 years old. Some classmates I even knew way back when I was around 7 years old as well. Lots of great memories. I actually still have dreams every so often about my final day of high school and my regrets about not getting to know certain people better.

If I had to give any sort of advice to high school grads, I’d say it’s ideal to keep up with at least a few of your closest high school friends. It would also be ideal to get yearbooks, and have you and your friends write stuff on each other’s yearbooks and sign them. I have seven yearbooks personally – two from elementary school, one from middle school, and all four of the high school ones.

As for adulthood, well, it’s something that most people eventually get used to lol.

There wasn't even a graduation party or anything. So basically i felt nothing.

@Zakatsuki_ redemption arc of course!

Studies combined with being part of a frat does not lead to good results if you're me. Started working, moved to my own place, went back to studying but at uni, did not complete studies because well costs are high if you're paying for everything and studies were too much to combine with work.

Started working in IT (yes let's keep it very broad) and am now management in a fortune 500 company with my own house, I don't party anymore, .... So yeah 180.

@Zakatsuki_ actually, when I finished high school, I didn’t feel much; it just felt like another stage of my life that I had completed. I was kind of emotionless. But now that I’m getting older, maybe that’s why I feel a bit sad when I think about the good moments from back then. Anyway, it’s still a good memory either way.
