Top 10 Best Things About High School
Is high school perfect? No. But there are many fantastic, thrilling things that you will enjoy.
Ugh. It's so hard to find anyone remotely loyal, especially in elementary school. When I was in grades 1-5, I tried so hard to find friends, but no one stuck with me. (I'm not a clingy person in general.) I would meet someone nice, hang out with them for a few months, think that they were my best friend, and then they would leave me for "someone better." It was terrible. Parents say all you have to do is be nice and respectful, but that hadn't worked out so far. I tried so many things, even changing my personality. Finally, I gave up after everyone grouped up and became part of a clique, making them "off-limits."
High school is better, though - it's way easier to make friends, and there are so many people.
Not much to say here. No matter what happened at the beginning of the week, everything appears positive on Friday.
The 3 best things ever:
1. Today it's Friday!
2. Wake up! It's Friday!
3. Tomorrow it's Friday!
Where's Rebecca Black when you need her?
They actually play a really essential part in your school life. Every now and then, you get super stressed out, and you have to have something to look forward to! What about that 2-day retreat up to Point Bonita?
If I go to the local public high school, I'll go to Disney World freshman year with the band!
I only had one actual field trip in middle school. Hopefully, we get to have more.
Do you like table tennis? Or military history? Are you good at chess, or do you prefer photography? Clubs give you the opportunity to do more of the things you like when you're in school.
I wish my school had a lot of clubs. My selection is VERY limited. My school is so poor and small that we have to ask for help from other schools and combine sports with the next town over.
I joined the Scrabble Club at my school. I also plan on joining the Math and Science Club next year, but first I must brush up on my math.
While some claim they really liked someone in middle school, high school is typically where you will find your first love. Will you end up marrying them? Probably not. But it's nice to have someone like that next to you in school.
If you are lucky enough to have that girl or boy, it becomes so easy and relaxing. You know that person is somewhere in that building, and you could talk anytime.
High school love is a lie. Eventually, they'll get sick of you and move on to the next hottest person.
I'm going to high school in 2 years. Wow, I can't wait for this. School dances sound fun! The middle school I'm going to has dances, but they're not, like, date dances.
Whether it's your prom or homecoming, school dances are very exciting, especially if you go with the partner of your choice.
Let the children lose it, let the children use it, let all the children boogie...
For many schools, elementary and middle schoolers have specific lunch requirements. But in high school, with increased servings, unlimited eating locations, and better drinks, the socializing period only gets better.
In my middle school, the dinner was mush, and the only drink was water.
In my high school, the dinners are the best, and we get awesome drinks.
The lunches at my elementary school were gross.
The lunches at my middle school were OK.
The lunches at my high school were DELICIOUS!
Unlike elementary and middle school students, upper school students are mostly independent, which is nirvana for kids who don't like being babied around.
There's a song that goes: Ow, got it bad! Got it bad! Got it bad! I'm hot for teacher!
For many, science is a favorite subject. A lot of that has to do with the wild experiments you will attempt throughout high school.
They are awesome. I would replace all my subjects with science if I was allowed!
Dissecting stuff is awesome. I'm also female - screw stereotypes.
The Newcomers
I'm going into 7th grade (currently on summer break), and I've been in a marching band before since I attended a summer music school where we got to do marching band. It was so much fun! I can't wait to do it in high school!
Marching band is by far the best high school experience anyone can have. People who are not in marching band will never understand.
This and colorguard helped me make friends and figure out who I am.
The annoying guy from middle school, the stuck-up athlete, and those cliques that make your blood boil - it seems all of them have grown up a little. But beware of the popular girls, who will only exploit their diva wrath even more.
The only good thing about high school was its lack of teenyboppers.
This is something every boy looks forward to!
Best thing ever! I play competitive hockey and baseball, and they help so much with getting your head away from school and into doing something you love.
These two exhilarating sports are fun to watch, but they're even more enjoyable if you're the one wearing the uniform.
I remember having a spare before lunch in my last quarter of grade 12. It was nice.
Electives are great, unless you get a bad teacher like I did last year when I was in 9th grade.
