C/o 2008 - Looking Back How will you remember high school?

Personally for me, the past 4 years have gone by like wow. The only time I felt that time was going by so slow was during my junior year (aka hell year, as many of you surely know). Looking back, I'm going to remember the times I ditched cross country practice with my friends and went off the get boba or just cruise around with the windows down, music on full blast. I'm going to remember those damned tests and pop quizzes in PreCalc, my witch teacher I had for Algebra II, my lame Chemistry teacher who looks like he should live in the outbacks of Montana or something, my eccentric eavesdropping Art teacher, and all the hi's and bye's I've said to various friends during passing periods. SAT prep was a PAIN, esp the Saturday mornings spent struggling to stay awake on a venti white mocha frappuccino while a dull teacher poured on about triangles and crap. God. I'm gonna remember the faces of all the people I've grown up with, many of who are going to far away colleges. Surely I've lost touch with a lot of these people (many who I've known since elementary school), but hopefully with Facebook, we can keep in touch. I'm also for sure going to remember the curent sophomores and juniors that I know, esp the juniors who are soon-to-become seniors. Prom was fun and will probably be my last memory of high school.
As for friends, it sucks to say that I might not leave high school on a neccesarily good note with some people. I've drifted away from a few individuals, but it's only because I believe we both (the individuals and I) have realized that we can't really relate. On the other hand though, I've just gotten to know some people, and hopefully I can carry my friendship with these people, despite us going to different colleges.
So my question to all of ya'll out there - how will you remember high school? Prom? Fun times? Heartbreak?
Please share, and good luck to all of you guys out there. Hwaiting!

I look back and see a lot of wasted time and opportunities, which I unfortunately have to regret. That's why I've been trying to make the best of my last year, and I've been loving almost every bit of it. I only wish I could've had this approach to the previous three years, but it's better late than never and I'm glad to have made a handful of solid friends whom I'll cherish forever.

9th grade to first half of 10th grade: class overnight trip, community service trip, friends I made, spirit week, being obsessed with this senior guy (lol), connecting tables during lunch for our HUGE group, fun gym class, gossiping about teachers and drawing cartoons to make fun of them, staying after school with friends and eating so much with them, complaining about math class, complaining about people asking me for so much help, talking about middle school memories and mischiefs,
feeling like I lost everything when I had to move far away
2nd half of 10th grade to end of 11th grade: feeling lost, missing my bus on the first days of school, freezing in the snow, crushing on some guy in my math class, feeling depressed, stressing about college, skipping lunch because i was afraid to sit alone, going for days without talking to anyone, meeting some friends, spending the loneliest summer ever, giving out a speech and crying in front of the whole class, studying hard for AP Bio and getting a 5, meeting some of the best teachers ever, going back to visit my old friends only to realize things have changed,
12th grade: meeting some of the best friends ever, joining the math team and having such splendid times, tutoring after school, meeting the sweetest guy ever and becoming great friends (or a little more) with him, telling weird jokes to people, going to prom, talking in the library during lunch, talking after school, attending the primary, my friend's crazy driving, drawing random stuff in my notebook, arguing and shouting with some people, slacking off and complaining during the last month of school, counting down till graduation, walking to the mall to catch a movie, saying hi and waving to people in the hall way, senior picnic + signing yearbooks, eating candy (especially jellybeans) in calculus class, surviving AP chemistry and AP calculus BC with awesome people,
wondering how my life suddenly turned right side up during senior year.
For sure, I'm going to lose so much of those things. What I'm going to miss most is the things that happened and the people I've become close to during my senior year. I've become a different person, someone I love a lot more. I've done things that I never thought I'd do (in a good way, I guess). This year has been AMAZING. From how 11th grade turned out, I didn't expect any of this, but it's like destiny's suddenly on my side, LOL.
Thank goodness one of the best people I've met is going to the same college as me.

I went to a Secondary School so it was 7th -12th Grade.
I had fun during 9th and 12th grade. I hated 10th grade because of Hurricane Katrina!!!
Flooded my home and everything. But I got to meet new people from it and experienced new things.
In 11th grade, I was really happy because I got to move back to my home and went to my old school again.
I happy that I got to graduate with my friends and at my old school
I know I am going to miss High School and all,
but I am happy that I am going to College.
I will get to experience new things. =]

Freshman year: Everything was cool. Hung out with my buddies (and gained new ones) from middle school. Everything was pretty much laid back. Went out with this one guy who turned out to be a lying jerk and made me lose trust in people altogether (to this day I still have difficulty trusting people, thanks to that guy)
Sophomore year: Eh...not so much drama. There was just this one person that I didn't like at all, and he got on my nerves. Then this one person pretty much ditched my group to be with her boy toy. Some friend right? This was also when there was this guy who liked me but he was going out with a girl at the same time. Biggg trouble. ALSO, there was this great guy friend of mine who confessed to me that he liked me. I seem to have boy troubles, right?
Junior year: Probably the most dramatic. Stopped talking to my best friend of 3 years because I was just getting sick of him and his love life and how full of himself he was. After that my group that I had hung out with freshman year started to slowly shrink. Went out with my second boyfriend, and had pretty much the best summer of my life.
Senior year: Problematic but out of all the years, probably the most fun. There's been so many useless disaggrements and yet again, the same guy who confessed to me my sophomore year decides to pull another one and say that he falls in love with me (he was with his gf at the time AND STILL IS). WTHEEZY?!? Other than that, all the perks of being a senior definitely made it the year that all seniors looked forward to. I went to prom with the sweetest guy ever who eventually turns into my current boyfriend!
Overall my high school experience seems like a somewhat typical one (with all the drama), but nevertheless what would high school be if you didn't have any struggles to come along with it, right? As much as I hated going through high school, I'm sad/glad to see it finally end.

freshman-junior year: boring, but there were good times, good memories.
senior year: DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA! & it was a complete HELL for me.
i'll be so glad to finally graduate next week and never have to look back ever again~ i just want to put everything behind me and be free to move on. but i do have to say that even though i experienced a lot of pain and depression this year, it's helped me to mature and become a better person overall. so i guess it was a good thing for me to be able to go through that but i don't want to suffer from it anymore. high school was NOT the best years of my life, but i learned a lot from it

This was interesting to me, because all year the teachers have been complaining how our senior class was the largest they've ever had at their school
The school has been around since the 70s too, so that's 30 years of senior classes
We had over 90 students in our grade, which is pretty impressive for a private school
Freshman year was bad for me. Sophomore year was good. Junior & Senior year = GREAT
Ironically, the most drama happened for me my senior year.
I guess since we were finally seniors, nobody really cared about anything anymore.
idk, but my group of friends were the "less experienced" type of people I guess you could say
then half of them (not me~!) started drinking, doing drugs having sex, etc senior year
It was crazy but expected. One of my friends got engaged the day of graduation
Graduation week=slowest week of my life, but the actual Graduation was very fun. Glad it's over!
I'm going to miss HS since I'm used to everyone there and having less responsibility, but I'm really excited for college too.
My memories of high school are mainly good. I'm happy I met the people I did and I'm glad I became the person I am today.

I made friends who will stick through my side through thick and thin, and I've met people who have caused me to go through so much drama.
What makes me even more sad about high school is that I'll be going to a college where no one else is going to. It's like I have to start clean and even when I do make new friends, it'll never be enough to replace the old ones. It won't be the same.

the freshmen year= study, study, study
sophomore year= lazy
junior year= back on task, but it was too late since my rank went really down...
senior year= drama, drama, then FUN~!!!
the drama mainly dealt with this one teacher who told everyone she was a nurse, doctor, etc...
when she really wasn't...
