I see a lot of college students my age post about missing high school, but I couldn't really understand what it was that they miss so much. The only thing that I even liked about high school was gym class and that was only on some days.I had friends just like everyone else, but I also had people against me. I had best friends that had come and gone in a blink of an eye.

I don't miss the rumors that would be spread in the hallways, start fights, and ruin friendships. Then at the end of the day it turns out that the rumors aren't true. I do not miss having to change for gym class every freaking day because we all know we hated that rule. I do not miss having to go eat cafeteria food and watching the portions get smaller as the years went by.(which if you were my friend you would know how much I would complain about it) I remember counting down the days, months, and years until graduation. I always wanted to be done with high school and out on my own.

The day graduation came I was not nervous at all I was ready and happy to go into the next chapter of my life. When I was walking across the stage I never felt more free, the only thing I was worried about was tripping over my heels. When I look back now on everything I did in high school the only thing that makes me sad is remembering the friends that have come and gone. But then I remember why they are no longer friends and it becomes another reason why I don't miss high school.

When I received my diploma, I was so excited to start the next chapter of my life, a true beginning. High school was so full of drama, almost everyone had to be the judge, jury, and executioner. It didn't matter what was true and what wasn't. Although college wasn't much different, some people actually grew up. I met people that were just as immature as my classmates, others that were still full of themselves, and a few who seemed to finally get it. High school was all about who was popular, who was "cool".

I don't miss high school and I don't see myself ever changing that feeling.
