Recently, I have seen a lot of articles and posts on social media about how high school sucks and it is the worst four years of your life.
I have seen a lot of kids that have recently graduated talk about how life is so much better after high school, and those four years are just a waste of time.
It almost made me feel guilty of wanting to go back to high school.
I would give almost anything to go back, be careless and just have fun for another four years.
This is for the kids who actually enjoyed or are currently enjoying those four short years. This is for the kids who are making the best of high school.
I, myself, was very involved in school and I had a great relationship with all my teachers. No, I didn’t look forward to going to school every day, but I absolutely loved all my extracurriculars. I loved going to all the sporting events, fundraisers, and school dances. Some of my most fond memories revolve around those events.
It is truly all about what you make of it.
It’s about who you surround yourself with and what you spend your time doing.
Those four years; freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior years of high school can really be some of the best years of your life.
I am telling you, soak up every moment of those four years because soon you will be throwing your cap in the air and it will all be over with. Just like that, in the blink of an eye, over.
I am finishing up my freshman year of college and I recently found myself feeling guilty of missing high school because others around me talked about how they hated high school and their lives are so much better now.
Do not get me wrong, my life is amazing now. I am in college, working, and working towards my dream career. BUT, my life was also amazing in high school and that’s okay.
It’s okay to enjoy high school.
It’s okay to make the most of those four years.
It’s okay to live your life to the fullest during high school. That’s what you should be doing.
