In reply to the discussion: post good memories of high school [View all]Arugula Latte
(50,566 posts)31. My favorite day was the day I got accepted by the college I'd wanted.
I wish I'd enjoyed high school more, but there was a high ratio of nasty to nice people at the one I went to.
I did get a very good education, and good grades. There were a few good times with friends.
My overwhelming memory is of feeling claustrophobic, both in the literal and psychological sense. The school had few windows and everybody was judging everyone else.
But mostly I felt self-conscious, unattractive, and not up to snuff socially.
