You know, I was just thinking about the good old school days - the ones filled with endless classes, random laughter, and that feeling of invincibility. It’s funny how, back then, we were all in a rush to grow up, yet now, we sometimes find ourselves missing those simpler times. Do you ever find yourself reminiscing about school days? Was it the friends, the carefree vibe, or maybe just the routine of it all? For me, there are moments I miss - especially the friendships and the fun we had, even though we couldn’t wait to graduate. What about you? Do you look back with fondness, or are you glad those days are behind you?

@pitsipeahie it really is. knowledge and good grades were the main focus and not cruel life and other things.

By no means. I always thought that school was a sort of reformatory and I haven´t changed my mind. I do miss many parts of my university days though. I still have some friends from that time. Not many, but very good.

I can see how school might feel that way, but at least it led to some lasting friendships.

Thinking back now, school days were much easier to deal with than the adult responsibilities we have now . At the time, it didn't seem easier . . . in fact I had some childhood stresses that I'm glad are now far behind me. Even so, yah, there are plenty of good memories - and I do miss those carefree times.

@pitsipeahie To think what we do if we could go back in time, knowing what we know now ...

Exactly! It’s crazy how school felt tough back then, but now it seems so much simpler compared to adult life.

I am glad too. If you'd ask me if I want to go back to that time, I don't want either. Definitely glad to have moved on but those good memories are always nice to revisit and I'll always remember them with fondness.

Like many including you , I too miss my school days. I am not sure if there would be any one who would not miss those times. I have good memories of those times. There was only pressure for studies and we need not bother about other challenges of life. The fun , the friendships , the carefree times , well definitely miss those. It is ironic that we all wanted to graduate and be adults .Now that we are adults , we love to be back in those graduate shoes and enjoy the life better. There are things I look with fondness during the school days and there are times, which I am glad is behind me. It would be fun if we had a time machine and be students once again!

School days is a mix of fun and stress but not the kind of stress we have as adults. Its mostly the good times that stand out.
