Just a while back, I chatted with a friend from high school. We talked about how we are right now. Talked about work, work, paygrades, work. Then of course, the discussion eventually turned to our old high school days. She was a year higher than me, and we talked about our friends who were also a few years ahead of us. Kinda missed the old days when your biggest problem was math, and your worst enemy is your math professor, the principle and the head of discipline. When playing pranks were something personal. Urinating was an excuse to talk about super private matters. When breaking the law meant smuggling alcoholic bevs in school and not getting caught while kissing your special someone.
Ah, those were the days. I really miss the simplicity and complexity of high school life.
How about you? Do you miss highschool too?

I do miss my high school life. I am 46 years old now and happily married but I still think that the memories of high school is worth reliving. I did a lot of growing up during those years and made mistakes along the way. But do I have regrets? I don't think so. Those years were priceless as we learned not only in school but it also started our foundation for adulthood. The things that happened were part of the process for us to get to be who we are now.
We had our 25th homecoming last 2006 and boy! was it a blast. There were a lot of happy faces in that room that night, all busy talking about our high school days. We talked about our favorite and worst teachers, our most hated subjects and activities, our forgettable experiences, the senseless and absurd things we did and much more. It's funny how we can just look back and laugh at the foolish things we did. I would say, everybody had a great time that night.
So missing your high school days? Try doing a reunion. We never stopped having small ones after the big 2006 homecoming. And yes, we still can't stop talking about "high school life."

Even though that I can't remember anything very special about those days, I still wish that I could do it all over again. Perhaps do it differently or just savor each day that would come by. High school life is definitely very special. The things that we get to realize and learn through that phase we call coming of age.
Things were just easy but, we didn't think like that when we were still at it. The problems that we had when we were still high school students seemed very trivial when we compare it now with the problems we have after it.

Yes i too miss the golden days, there are many such memory attached to my primary school days, 1950 to 1953, when ever we meet with our class mates we discuss what we used to do, how the teachers were..
there are so many in high school days too, we have reunion every year, there we discuss..
Thanks for sharing.
Welcome always.
Cheers.

the worst is that my high school life is almost full of the study and tests.
well,it pity that there is less unforgettable things i can remember.
i like the movie twilight and the graduate.
i wish the high school life was wonderful.
but the time is gone,maybe all that i can do is just to recall and miss.
it is really a little sad.

Every time I talk to my classmates and friends during my high school years we can't really keep ourselves from reminiscing our memories together. The laughers,the hollers, the rumors, the secrets...EVERYTHING.:D We can't believe that time flies so fast and we are already growing.:D

High shool life was very exciting for me. That's the time when I started going out wiht circle of friends, even out of town, but of course with the permission of my parents. Life then was very easy for me. My parents will just give me my money every morning, they will send and pick me up in school, and of course my favorite recess,I miss counting every second before the recess comes. I miss JS prom, the teasing of crushes, but I was never involved in any delinquent actions. Life then was really simple that's why I really miss those days. But now, life is full of responsibilities and worries. But those make us strong person. At least we were able to exprience how to enjoy our high school life.

Yeah I also miss my high school life. Its one of the best part of my life. I specially miss my friends. They are the reason why my high school life has been really, really fun. I kinda miss my old teachers also. Some of them are really fun but some of them not. But still they are a huge part of my development as a person.

highschool is a part of life that you will always miss. mine too. when i attended my high school reunion, i was like young again, reminiscing the memories and again laughing out loud at the jokes and funny memories that each of one had during those years. it's good to bring back old memories and share together. it just makes us feel more alive and makes us think that hmmm... we are getting old hehehe...

I only miss my friends from high school, i couldn't wait to leave and get a job and earn my own money, lessons used to bore me unless it was something I liked or was interested in. i think I wouldn't go back if i had the chance but would like a get together with old friends, some i have actually found again and am in touch with so its good.
