it's sad because everyone says that school is the best years of your life and it's now over and no more

 

14 years have gone by just for the exams i've completed last week

 

and it's strange that now that part of my life has ended

 

it saddens me almost because i love school

 

i really do

 

and i'm scared and feel insecure about the idea of uni and i don't know how i can make friends and cope and such

 

i wont be living at home anymore

 

and i wont be going to the same uni as my sister

 

so i dunno

 

i have 3 months holiday now though woo

dont worry about it just think of all the good memories youve head and as for university; you'll get used to it.

but i'm scared :(

Who isn't / wasn't?

 

Probably those who didn't attend any uni lol

you answered your own question

 

it's sad to think that my grandma may die before she sees me go to uni because that's all she ever wanted

 

that her grandchildren would go

 

it's fucking harsh because my grandad died only 2 months ago as it is

 

and then i'll have no grandparents at all :cry:

 

i am really upset by it

Uhhh.... I have prom on Thursday and sign off on Friday, and that's it, for me. I'm not even excited about prom at all, I don't even know if I'll go. I've never been a big fan of occasions and celebrations and stuff, but urh, I just don't like things like that.

 

I'm at Northum. Uni in September, even though I don't really want to go. I just don't find any alternatives that appeal to me. I originally planned to move to Middlesborough and go to Teesside, but I had a huge explosion that went off in my head that showed me that it wasn't somewhere I wanted to be, so I'm staying local so I can stay at home and not end up stuck in Teesside £6000 down if I hate it.

 

It's really odd to think that I'll not sit in a high school classroom with my friends again. It's amazing how quick it all goes by.

i'm staying in the north of england because i don't want to be too far from family but my sister will be in the south and we've never really been apart before

 

so it's just going to be weird:(

Whoever first said that highschool was the best years of one's life deserves a swift kick to the head. :thinking: I'm guessing that they were one of those super popular kids with no brains, imagination, skills, or anything that could make the real world even slightly livable or interesting.

 

In my experience, being a teen sucked. As a 20 something you get to have all the fun a teen could, but with less angst and alot more freedom. And most 30 somethings I know say their 30s are their favorite so far, so there's something to look forward to, too.

 

Of course big changes are going to bring a good dose of worry with them, but there's nothing to be scared of at uni... you don't know what you've been missing until you see for yourself. It's funny watching first years at college. They're all so cliquish and annoying at first, but by the end of the first semester they've finally gotten that highschool mentality out of their systems and have grown up quite a lot. Suddenly you're allowed to explore all this stuff and talk to all these amazing different people you never would have been 'allowed' to hang around with in highschool.

 

For me, college meant meeting some of my best friends, discovering that there's a great local live music scene, knowing a gazillion times more about the world around me and why it's the way that it is, getting a better idea of who I am, just plain getting a clue....

 

Wouldn't go back to being a teen for the whole world.

i'm used to cliquiness and being the centre of it

 

and it'll be hard for me to break out of that mould

 

but thanks for that erin

I'm in the same situation currently....since today I am working at McDonald's and I realise more and more how much I miss school and how great this time was....:bigcry:

When picking up a £18K student debt?

 

Sixth Form is the best years, you have finished school, so you are doing subjects you want to be doing.

That's OK, you can just declare yourself bankrupt and have it written off.;)

I strongly disagree.

You're jumping to conclusions really too fast.

 

When I was at school, it was always crap. I didn't like it at all.

 

When I got in high school, I made few friends, and it got better.

I can say that high school was my best school years. Not because I was popular. That's not what I was looking for. Not at all.

 

I liked these years just because people respected me. I liked these years because I had some friends I could have fun with.

 

And being popular has nothing to do with liking these years. I was always alone & lonely when I was younger. I couldn't be popular. And I wouldn't have liked it. Because I was rather shy, and being under the spotlight made me feel so uncomfortable.

You can do that at school too these days!

And stab people and assault teachers too, apparently........................ :rolleyes:

It's an easy way to get rid of the debt, but if you ever want to take out anything on credit (loan, credit card, credit agreement etc), than your stuck, as your classed as "High Risk".

 

Payday Friday :D

Uni will take some getting used to - especially if you're moving away from your family, friends and everything that is secure and comfortable. But embrace the change and you'll find that college life has lots to offer - new people, new perspectives, new experiences. What I found was that college really leveled the playing field - everyone comes starts off freshman year with a clean slate. For me, uni offered me a chance to really define the person I wanted to be. Best part is, not only interacting with such a diverse crowd of people, but also finding those few people who share the same career and life goals and dreams as you. It's exciting.

 

I just graduated uni last week, and I'm already missing it. :(

Enjoy your summer holidays! :D

I'm kinda happy the school's over.

I mean, the uni's probably gonna be hard and lame too, but at least it's something new.

 

I'm not sure if I'll have any so-called friends there, but I'm definetely gonna study. I mean, you can do nothing for ten years of school, but there's no point in going to uni and being a lazy ass there.

 

Anyway it can't be worse than school so I'm looking forward.

My prom was last night so that was it for me.

 

The end of school as I know it.

 

 

Weeeeeeeeeird.

i hated school and i was happy when it was over.

 

i still havent gone to uni and i'm way too old to go to uni now. but the point is that i really dont want to. i never considered it as a option but i had to do a levels and i'm kinda undecided now. i'm trying to get an apprenticeship because i do think i should continue my education and i dont wanna be stuck in a dead-end job. i should have done that a long time ago rather than what everyone expected me to do.

 

however i did apply at uni and if dont find an apprenticeship until september i will have to go to uni.:(

Today is the end of an era in England.

why?

 

i'm trying to think what happened yesterday that was so end of era ish

 

at first i thought you meant gordon brown taking over from tony blair but then i looked at the date you posted it

 

NEVER A FROWN, IT'S GORDON BROWN

 

woo
