School.

[Anime Forum]

Was is/was your opinion on school? Basic question really. I hated middle school but I really do enjoy my time in high school. I fit in good, and I currently am aiming to be in the Volley Ball Team.

[Elphaba]

I attended the same school until 8th grade. I hated it so much. I didn't fit in at all. I had very few friends and wasn't everyones friend.
In highschool it was much better. I made alot of new friends (most of them in band), got invited to more parties and looked forward to going each day.
In college i kinda like it even more. I have even more friends and I can start a new life there i guess you can call it.

[Lord]

Recently graduated from highschool, have to say that it was one of the best times in my life. Now im studying in a japanese/english college, feels weird actually.. hard to make new friends when im a gaijin.

[Skylar1]

I <3 school, and everything about it.

This is probably the worst time of my life right now since I'm in that middle area between graduating high school and beginning college.

My point here is, and easily the most obvious one, is that I want to learn, and learn, and spend every waking moment of my life to my last dying breath learning. I can think of no joy greater than the simple pleasure one receives when you've achieved that "EUREKA! I'VE GOT IT!" moment. Even once I'm finished with college, I'll go right back in and learn something else.

I like being in school, especially college since you get to choose your classes more freely. I just despise homework. I don't mind a little bit, but when your professors make it seem like their class is the only one you're talking; that's when Sigma has a problem.

And funny thing is that I don't talk much, and yet I'm able to make awesome friends. :O

[Anoleis]

I'm actually starting college tomorrow
I'm looking forward to being in a setting where everyone wants to be there, unlike High School where you've got the "I'm not going to use this in everyday life" and "Who cares what the theme of the book is?" people who b/m/w/c (*****/moan/whine/complain) about doing anything that might make them use their brain.
Although I think my Physics and Environmental Bio class are going to beat my brain to a useless pulp.....

[Aku no Hikari]

Well, there isn't anything to hate about school. Maybe except that a few (a lot of?) things need improvement. (Well, this depends on where you live, but here where I live, it sure needs tons of improvement.) And I used to think school is stupid for that (not that I still do), and because of some other things that are unrelated to school itself... like the attitude and behavior of many school children.

But besides from that, school is great. And I spent the best moments of my life in junior high and high school.

I have mostly positive memories of high school. I graduated in 2002. I spent freshman year in NV and the other three in NY, so I pretty much had no friends at first. I had some real battleaxes for teachers, all of whom I grew to appreciate once I was out of their class and could see the difference between them and the others that didn't care about whether or not the students learned. The least popular math teacher in my high school was probably my favorite. She was hard, and she was strict, but she made sure you learned your stuff. And when she was on a field trip with you or you saw her around town, she was a really nice lady. Anyway, I was in the stage crew that made sets and ran shows for our yearly musical. Lemme tell you what, that is an excellent way to meet cute girls. Or guys, if you're on the hunt for the male of the species. And it was fun.

College sucked, mostly because I had a lot of classmates from NYC whom I did not fit in with, and therefore had very few friends or social experiences in college. I worked nearly full time, because I had a car to pay for and I lived off campus, so I wasn't around to BE invited to anything. I wish I'd have done college differently, as I generally have bad and lonely memories from it. My degree hasn't done jack for me getting a good job so far, either. Political science is useless, don't take that. I could have had more fun. I could have done stuff and had friends. However, when it comes to social situations, I'm often painfully shy. Couple that with not being able to relate to most of my peers at that school [small town vs NYC] and I was pretty much out of the game.

I'm thinking of going back here in TX though, to get my teacher certification. Since I have a BA it's only probably a year of classes to get certfied. I think I'd like to be a high school history/gov't teacher.

[~*Red*~]

I love university; it's the best place and I've got plenty of friends and get along well with my teachers.

[Capitán]

Elementary School: The best/memorable years. It was fun while it lasted.

Junior High: Ghetto looking school with gang members around but you don't know who they were? Yeah it sucked but intriguing at the same time.

High School: I felt like a drifter because I got along with everybody. Whether their jocks, cheerleaders, preps, smarties, goths, cool, not-so-cool, etc....

College: Almost finished. Business Marketing major. I don't have anything planned out after that though....

[Ellxeeva]

Elementary is fun! Made a lot of friends but the teachers are, well, a bit b****y.
High School's pretty awesome. My most memorable years. Did every crazy stuff and me and mah friends actually "owned" the campus. But prom is lame. lol.
College? Graduated recently and there's no way im gonna go back on that period again. Should take things pretty seriously and it's quite stressful. T_T


Overall? School's okay, as long as you know when and how to take a break - i mean, attending everyday single day sucks, so... XD

[*Tsuki*]

I love school. The problem I'm currently facing is the whole "friend" issue.

From Kindergarten to 6th grade I was with the same people.

After that, I had to leave them all behind and make completely new friends in middle school. So, from 7-9th grade, I had new friends.
Many of which, I have become extremely attached to.

Now, for the sake of a better education, I'm going to be going to a different high school then both the people from my elementary and junior high school years.
Unlike my other friend going to this new school, I am not great at making friends in real life situations. Never been the outgoing type. Not only that, this new high school I'll be going into starts in 9th grade.
So, while the other students in my grade will have been in the school making friends and getting used to it for an entire year- I will be thrown in randomly.

I'll also be taking an AP class which I'm sure I had summer homework for. But, I cannot find out how to get said homework because the school's website has quite crappy navigation that I am not used to in the least bit.
Should be an interesting year.

On the bright side, I don't mind being in the front of the room.

[GrimStride™]

Soon i'll be starting my last year of high school.I consider myself lucky because i'm in a relatively decent group of people. Most of my classmates are nice enough and we get along just fine. We have some exceptional teachers who really care about our education and try as hard as they can to hammer knowledge into us no matter how much we resist. And that isn't very common here. So i'd say i enjoy school quite a bit

[Desulishor]

My opinion on school has drifted between "f this s**t" and "kewl as hell", the reason being that I was bullied troughout my middle and elementary school days and it only stopped when I got into a good high school, where no one knew me and i could concentrate on biology studies more freely. I also found a few strange guys like me in the school library.

currently i'm starting my second year in university, studying biology. It's so interesting, I'm actually looking forward to september, which is when the term starts.

[Angel Yumi]

I like being in school because I can learn many things and meet new friends. Right now, I'm a graduating student in college. As I go on to my studies, I was able to love my course for 4 years.

[MirrorToTheMoon]

Kindergarten to Year 6 was the best time of my life. :3
I'm in high school (Year 8) now, and I don't like it. I didn't like Year 7 either.
Not that I get bullied or anything, it's just that almost my whole year makes me.. grr. :|

[Vintniv]

Elementary is a blur now. Middle sucked because everyone was fighting. High School was alright, but kind of unbearable because it was boring.

College is great because I take classes that I want to take, not so much required to.

[Psyco_Panda]

I love classes but I hate the ppl. Ppl don't even give me half a chance, they just assume they don't like me. If ppl gave me halv a chance they would probably like me. I'm not popular or rich, never have been. I've ben made fun of my whole life. I'm not ugly, well not totally, my fiance thinks I'm the most beautiful thing he's ever seen but I'm skepticle. But u know, most ppl don't marry their high school sweethearts, well I am, we've been dating since my freshman year. Ppl have made it heck for us, spreading rumors, telling lies like the other one is cheating and stupid stuff like that. But, he's graduated and I'm a senior and we're getting married in october. Then in november we're moving to oklahoma to an army base. :-)

[Token Black Guy]

I didn't really like elementary or middle school since the lack of friends andi got picked on a lot. It helped that my granddad taught me some basic hand-to-hand combat techniques so i can defend myself, but people began beating me up in groups of 5+ people. My first year of high school i was picked on a lot since i didn't live up to my brother's "legacy", because he was the popular senior at the time. I remember receiving a bunch of death threats at one point, but my parents took me out of the school just because of bad grades. I was enrolled in a new school for my 2nd year of high school, but i still had issues making friends. I guess you could describe me as shy but a bit paranoid(this was due to my previous school conditions). I did make some friends with some people i had something in common with, but most of the people still didn't like me. People called me a "future psycho killer", but to the people i knew i was more like a "peaceful & shy monk". A few good ones had to leave the school due to some unfortunate circumstances (Two guys got kicked out because one of them brought a knife to defend himself because some students jumped him on the bus during summer school. Another left the state because of death threats. The people who did it got away with their crimes and had no form of punishment at all).

I was feared by a lot of the kids who were unerclassmen due to the rumors spread about me by my fellow classmates. It got worse when i brought books such as Hagakure, Tao of Jeet Kune Do, and Bruce Lee's Fighting Method to school to read. I even joined the weight lifting club in my senior year with my friend, but people became even more paranoid since my friend was the strongest senior in the class. Also when the Virginia Tech shootings happened, it made people think i would attempt the same thing, but for those who knew me knew i wouldn't do that. I tried to be friendly with others, but it didn't work out at all. I went to the junior prom, but it sucked because everyone else who went didn't want to be around me, except the student class president (Who for some reason took a picture of me and her together and put my hand on her booty, then later begged me to dance with her. Why did she do that?) And for some reason, the meanest girl in class (Whom i hated for spreading a lot of rumors about me) asked me out to the prom. I didn't say anything, but i mouthed out the phrase "Go *Bleep* yourself." and began to cry. I skipped prom to go see an old friend that i haven't seen in years(She stopped talking to me a week later). Well i would describe high school being similar to jail, minus some stuff.

College is ok i guess. I don't have any friends, but i hope that will change if i join the Anime Club.

[John Watson]

I like high school most of all. I'm kinda sad that its my last year and then I'm off to college and away from all my best friends. The saddest day of my life will be when I graduate from high school, but it will be the best day as well.

Everyones get picked on at school sometime in their life dont they? I know I have. Ughh, its alright though because I'm mature now...sorta. xD

[-GAZKUL-]

I'm just going into S6 and it's supposed to be the best year, Overall easonable, only just begun to enjoy it in S5.

Wow!! a lot of people are going to/ have gone to College.

[Señor Nobody]

I've slept through most of my classes, so I only have fond memories of sleeping, eating lunch, and slacking off.

I'd say I like school. Even college isn't much of a bother since I'm learning the skills I'll use to start my career.

[Infinita]

Elementary school for me was like torture. I had good friends but it was the fact I got picked on a lot because I was so small. (I am still small now but people are more scared of me than anything. I wonder if its my appearance O.o) Junior high was a bunch of drama. Hated those years and High school was the best years of my life. Loved it up until the summer before college. More stupid things happen since people don't know how to be mature. And I absolutely loved my first year of college. I am going into my second year and it's going to be fun. So far, my college years are the best years of my life.

But to the point, I believe school is important. Today, in most jobs, you need an education of some sort to get the job. I gave up my dreams years ago in pursuit of something different. I don't mind the program I am doing but wish it was more...exciting. lol

[Alphabet]

I don't hate it, but I don't love it either. I just find school neccesary. I'm starting my junior year, and nothing really changes. We have this new grading policy. In short, EVERY grade is a major grade. Texas went phooie.
