Schooling is really most us spent years in our life. Schooling is not limited on formal one those that we learned in college or university. But also on non-formal one like learning to drive a car by just mere observations. Moreover, what I want to discuss is for those who have graduated in formal schooling. Many times when I see students I can easily reflect my school days. I was wondering if our time or the present time schooling has changed much compared to the school life I have experienced. And, sometimes, Honestly, i miss going to school perhaps to enjoy the company of classmates or being free to go to the library and read books for free.
How about you? do you miss school life? want part of it that you miss the most?

hahaha, Well i presumed that your are new at using the power of social networking. You know social networking site like this one, fb and twitter is really a great help in locating old friends. Frankly, I have just experienced it. I was able to connect to my old classmate through those sites. Now, this really aid me a lot especially that I am the president of my high school class and the responsibility of organizing a reunion rest upon my shoulder.
I wish you can find your friends just like mine .I believe they have fb or twitter nowadays for it well known and a trend.

Totally missed it... I remember when I was in college, I was so excited and looking forward for my graduation, and finally to seek for a job where I can start my career that I will love to do. But of course It was easy being said than done, lots and lots of trials you have to face, and really have to fight your way to be on the top. Back to schooling what I really missed most is the companion of my best friends, along it is the craziest thing we did, overnights to a classmate friends to do projects, field studies, OJT ( My first ever experienced of working in a company, the only thing I hate about it when you are ask to do the boss coffee or buy them food outside[lol], and doing my thesis with my group mates. I can say I really had fun and had made the most out of it from my school days. High school days is the best fondest memories of my life along with my 8 girlfriends and up to this days our friendship is fully intact, we became like family.

ha ha ha..It is really a fun memories. I think most of us can relate to it. No wonder most of us longing to see school grand reunion. Though I don't spent much in group studies and some overnight experience but I do somehow experience it somehow a little bit.

I miss my old school friends, but school life? Not at all! We had the roughest school especially at high school. My country was deep into a civil war and we were apportioning time for our books on the one end and for the safety of our lives on the other-my school life brings painful memories, I lost wonderful friends, bright chaps who could great engineers today-they were killed in the civil war in my country.

My sympathy my friend. You have had really a painful memories. If only people learned to love and understand each other, I believe many won't have to face these unnecessary pain. Moreover, I believe your experience can help a lot of your countrymen if taken positively like ex-president Andrew Johnson of USA who was born during civil war.
He used his experience to curved a nation not to engaged in unnecessary war.

HI,
I definitely miss my school life.
I have left my school for more than 15 years but I am glad
that I still do keen in touch with some of my old mates.
I managed to find back some old mates from facebook .
Once a year,when I was back to my hometown, we will have
small gathering and we also talked on how is our previous
school life,So enjoyable.
I remembered well everytime when we have an exam...have to rush up
to the hall and get the best seat and I always have my friends to
book a seat for me. Sometimes, I will wrote a small note to peek during
the examination,which was not a good way,but no choice, as I really need
those info on my examination and my brain just could get in.
I missed the moments where we skipped the tuition class in the afternoon,
I missed the moments where me and my classmates have our lunch
together before attending the next tuition class,it was so fun.

I totally missed it. It's only now that I realized that school is our second home. Safe within the borders of the premises. Time divided for studying and learnging and playing and, yes, reading books for free! Being carefree, except for the homeworks and quizzes anyway.

I missed also my school days, there's nothing can compared the life of being a student. I missed the gigs with classmates, overnight study but nothing happened except talking with nonesense topics. Adventure during public holidays, pressure with subjects that didn't like the instructors, and alot more.
The reason why even I finished already my Diploma, I am still continue studying another course to refresh my learnings and acquire more knowledge in the field of Business. Last year studied a rush course for another plan to go abroad and here it is the result was positive and now I'm here in another country.
After I finished my contract here abroad I will continue my studies because I need only 1 year to graduate a business course. I love being a student. I will not stop on it because I want a continues learning so that my mind will not become stagnant.

Yes i do miss my school life a lot. I wish i had those golden days back. We were all small innocent(not completely) children back then but now since we have all grown wiser and smarter i think that many of us have been following the rules and regulations always for nothing. We all have forgotten what it is to be like a kid and have fun with others and we are compromised to live life the way as our elders want it to be. I want to go back to school now. But i sure don't like all that homework which my English teacher used to give me!
Cheers!

...i miss school life, most particularly highschool life..it is where i have experienced a great bond of friendship...a school is not just a place where you learn but also a place that we can call a home....it is the second home next to our own home....a very strong foundation that shaped us to who we are....like you, i reminisce the past during my school days when i see young students passing by with their bags and school supplies with them....that moment in my life, will be treasured by me forever...

I miss my schoolmates, classmates and friends in highschool and college. I do not miss going to school maybe because I go to my kids' school everyday. Their school is much like my school before. If ever I will go back to my old school, I just want to go there to visit my teachers. Now, we are planning our big event, our 20th anniversary in High School and it's good that we are having constant communication through the social networking sites. It will be held in our school, our Alma Mater.

Surely we will miss something for out of every part of our lives. Sometimes, we will miss our course mates, food etc. For me, i miss all the activities together with friends which we could only enjoy during school days..when we gets older, we tend not to be that crazy as before :p

I left my school more than three years ago and really miss those days.I miss school,the friends i grew up with and memories made.I also miss the nice teachers they were all really nice even though they are all academic teachers.But like every phase of life you love it at the time and miss it when its over but life goes on and you experience new things and I appreciate being able to reminisce but I am very happy its over.
