I kinda miss school.

High school:
-I miss hanging out
-I miss the easy homework
-I miss the hot teachers
-I miss the 2 months summer holiday
-I miss the 2 week Christmas holiday
-I miss March Break

University:
-I miss the 4 month summer holiday
-I miss the 3 week Christmas holiday
-I miss 2-4 hour lunch breaks (between classes obviously)
-I miss cancelled class due to prof not showing up
-I miss grades can be negotiated on projects (effort and valid points/proof is a must obviously)

Now, at work:
-30 min lunch
-1 hr public transit time (I could drive but then it's rush hour so it'll be 30-40 min PLUS $10 parking)
-repetitive work
-3 week holiday in a year

Now tell me, why would you want to leave school?

Some people prob just liking boring monotony as opposed to the awesome, carefree(ish) lifestyle of the student.

Love high school, hate the work. I made the error of taking every possible Honors or advaned placement class I can for 3 years and acing each one, now I just want to slack off. I guess thats what senior year is for.

I'll miss it for sure, but I can't wait to go to college on a scholarship grogram (top 20% of the class goes to county college 2 years free and then another 2 years at any state school in NJ, and i'm number 8.) and then 3 years at the Kubert School for art.

I'll miss my friends, I'll miss my teachers, but thats the miracle of technology, stay in touch anywhere without waiting for the class reunion.

The ignorance of youth eh?

I would also like to add:

High school:
-I miss PA Days (or PD Days or whatever your country called them)
-I miss the 18 min walks to school
-I miss the girls at school wearing kilts (yes, I went to a uniformed school). Now I'm just too old to be doing that.
-I miss school cancellations during heavy snowstorms (I have to get to work now no matter how bad the weather is)
-I miss buying G1 TFs off classmates for dirt cheap (this was during the Beast Wars era)

University:
-I miss rigging the schedule so that I get MONs or FRIs off for an entire semester
-I miss rigging the schedule so that I get to sleep in every morning
-I miss school cancellations during heavy snowstorms (I have to get to work now no matter how bad the weather is)

Did I miss anything?

Student discount.

Oh right, I forgot about that one. I didn't take advantage of that too much, I'm not much of a shopper, only on Ebay.

Youth is wasted on the young.

The bookshops around here don't offer such discounts... and there's not much else I could use it for...

It wasn't just for books, it was for restaurants, clothing stores, supplies, etc. It was mostly for stores near campus.

Something like this...
http://www.studentadvantage.com/discountcard/

But I kinda remember this version...
http://www.cfs-fcee.ca/saver/

Yeah, I know... I'm just in a lousy area... nothing interesting offers student discounts

Lets see, I get discount at

Bus fare
Comic shops
pubs/clubs
book shops
clothes shops
cafes
cinema
pc shops
+ more.

I have been in school way too long with absolutely no breaks. I got burned out but I was persistent. What do I have show for? 2 pieces of paper and one coming in June. I have 3 degrees from 2 schools. But now, I am ready for a job.

Go back!!!

It's a trap!!!

With more money, comes more responsibility.


(at the very least, you'll be able to buy more TFs with the money you'll be earning)

School has its ups and downs, but mostly downs :/ I have like no free time anymore, and when I do, it's very short and usually gets taken up by something else. I can't wait to graduate next April!

Let's look at it this way:

20 years of boring>80 years of living on the street

Wait, what? I never went to college. Ever. And I have a well paying job (in my age bracket). I'm not sitting out on the street.

I have been in college for 10 straight years. With the job that I am getting, it will not be a high paying one. In the USA, it would be about ~35,000/year. So, in June, I get my master's degree + a new car.

Just because you don't go to college doesn't mean you're doomed to a crappy, low-paying job. My Grammy didn't even graduate high school, I don't think, and she's had a lot of success over the years. You're definitely more likely to get paid better, and enjoy your job more, but it's not guarenteed. I know someone with a math degree that has worked at Home Depot for ten years.

Completely offtopic and unrelated:

So I am still in school, and homeschooling sounds REAL good right now. There are so many "gangstas" and "emos" there it is atrocious. I looked up homeschool having low hopes (since both my parents work), and I found out about a "schooling on the internet", I suppose this is basically schooling on the computor, yes?

Can someone help me?
