High school for me was a very memorable one. I just enjoy it. I don't study that "hard", but I study to have good grades. It's not a problem if you will have a boyfriend of not.  The thing is, you study so you will learn.  Having a boyfriend is part of growing up. It's just a matter of how you handle things especially your time.  \nJust remember, if you'll have a boyfriend soon, you must have the ability to handle things in balance. If you are reading your notes, have ur focus on it. After, then you can think of something else, boyfriend for forbriend, and friends. "You can't hit one bird with your gun if your looking in the other bird beside it"\nIf you will be able to handle it, then, you'll gonna make it to the end. God Bless.

NO. I hated school. so i dropped out this yr. Senior year of highschool. But i now regret it. I've found that it's very hard to get a job, or for an employer to even take a second look at you, if you don't have a highschool education. However i'm going to get my GED, and try and make something of my life. But what i've found out is that, school may suck and be boring at times, but in the long run, it's necessary. So what ever you're thinking stay in school.

High school is fine. The work maybe hard and long but it's fine. Nothing big compared to what will be coming ahead after high school.

For a high school student you have done a remarkable job planning your future. You don't really need much help - you have things clearly mapped out. Good Luck.

I think one of the biggest shocks to me was the amount of self-discipline I had to have in college. Our professors didn't give us homework every night, give us quizzes and review sheets. It was basically, "Here's the book, read, we'll have 3 tests." I was surprised that I was responsable for so much of the learning myself. The professors usually didn't teach us anything that appeared on the tests. What else? There was a lot more reading than in high school too. Homework usually involved reading chapters in a textbook instead of worksheets or problems.

Yes and no. Highschool was a blast sometimes, especially because I had a tight group of friends. But there was so much immaturity, so much gossip and backstabbing, people caring way too much what everyone else thought of them, etc. It's a tough time!

What is high school about?\n\nIt really depends on your perspective.  When you are a student, high school is about creating a balance between fun, academics, and status.    It is a zero-sum game, where if you put effort into one, typically you have to take away from another.  It all depends on what your final goal is.\n\nIf you were like me and were a “geek”, your goal probably is to get good grades.  Traditionally, these are the people who end up hating high school but tend to succeed in life.  As much of their effort is spend on grades, their social status really lacks and they don’t have much fun as a result.  On the flip side, these are the ones that people view as a success in life.   I will always remember that I took my ex-fiancée and a friend to Florida for spring break.  My ex had never been to Disney so we went.  I was talking to a guy in line at one of the rides who was an auto worker in Detroit.  When he found out I was in school for Engineering, he told me tales of how much fun high school was and how he would beat on the nerds.  Now those nerds were his rich managers and he was living paycheck to paycheck.\n\nThere are those who spent their time having fun.  This could be sports, drinking, drugs, you name it.  I spent some time with this crowd and I did enjoy myself, but at the end of the day, other aspects of my life suffered.  A lot of this crowd never seemed to leave the town we lived in.  Many have stable jobs, but don’t have the income to afford a really nice lifestyle.\n\nOthers spend time on social status.  These were the popular people who were funny, personable, or beautiful.  This was the hardest group to penetrate and seemed to have the biggest fall from grace after high school.  When they get out into the real world, they get a harsh lesson in reality that no one cares who they are.  They lose their power and are just like everyone else.\n\nSome people were excellent at all three areas.  Some people sucked at all three.  \n\nDepending on where you stand, high school may be a blast or may be the worst 4 years of your life.  Regardless, be prepared for life after high school.  Once you walk the stage and leave those doors, the world doesn’t care what you were, only what you can offer them now.  The geeks tend to go from nobodies to someone important.  The athletic ones tend not to change a whole lot.  As I mentioned, the popular crowd can have a tough time when they realize they have nothing to offer without their “clique”.\n\nIn terms of academics…it isn’t that bad.  It may seem like a lot of work, but in retrospect, the work is pretty easy.  What I did enjoy in HS is the fact that you can learn pretty much whatever you like.  I could take Pre-Calc and woodworking in the same year and not have to worry about what it looks like on my transcripts.\n\nMy advice…just be yourself and take what classes interest you.  To do it all over again, I would spend much more time in auto shop (a very valuable class when you start paying your own bills).  Learning to fix things in shop is very valuable as well (I got to build a race car in a team in college because I learned to acetylene weld in HS not to mention the wood working I learned in HS fixes my house now).\n\nI hope this helps.  Good luck and enjoy the 4 years!  Once it is over, your future is up to you and only you.

You will probably be expected to know some basic Biology from High School. When I started college I majored in Biology as well. We started with basic Biology I and Biology II. Both had labs. Then it progressed from there. We had more focused and indepth courses. I think you'll do fine.

Those that gave me opportunity to think, to think for myself.  I appreciated language courses.\n\nEverything we need to learn about life we have learned in kindergarten.  By the time of high school, the most important class will be how we relate to teachers and to other students.  So we learn to get along with those who agree with us and with those who disagree.

Some schools have a career development class. I know my high school did. You actually had to have a job outside of school and then in school, you took a class one period a day.
