The best thing I can say about high school is it’s led to a 30 year friendship with two of my closest friends

All of this high school talk just reminds me how much of a waste of talent I was in high school.

 

Id figure out how many assignments I could skip in various classes I didn’t like and still pull an A so my mom wouldn’t get mad (I mean it mostly worked, but lol if I just did them I could have been ranked 3rd - 1st instead of 9th).

 

I went into my ACT blind because I was taking a “moral stance against the system and refused to participate in the crime that was standardized testing” (I mean my score was fine, It exempted me from pre-cal and my English core for college, but lol really?).

 

 I only applied to three D2 state schools (well one was a private D2 school) because I was lazy and didn’t want to write college application essays.  

 

And that’s ignoring the other stupid shit I did.  Kind of proof that just because you’re smart doesn’t mean you’re not an idiot in practicality.

Same thing pretty much. I was such a lazy mess. I probably averaged about half an hour a day of studying in high school at best.

My parents were freaking out at times and we had quite a few big fights.

I ended up finishing with As mostly but I come to realize that I could have been in a far better place right now If I had a bit more of discipline through my high school and early university years. Or generally If I had more discipline in life even right now. 

At least I have some good memories to feel nostalgic about, but mostly it's guilt and rgret.

wait, that means you are even older than me.  Are you on Tele's level of age?

My mom freaks out if I get anything less than like a 92. When I told her I got an 80 on an assignment yesterday (which was still way above the average grade for it), she became super concerned that I was doing poorly in the class when my average is still a 92.5% or so

ah, ok then about the same age

 

i have a friend still from 3rd grade.  The more I think about it, I don't really have friends still from high school.  Just sometimes interact on Facebook with a couple but barely.

If I followed this rule I would stop going to the movies. I have no time during the week.

Does it take much energy to sit in a chair for two hours?

It takes a lot of energy to go to his parents and ask them for money to see a movie
