Thread: Do you wish you could go back and re-do High School?

I only graduated a little over a month ago, and when I drove by my old high school earlier this morning for the first time since graduating it finally hit me, I'm most likely never going to step foot in those hallways or see any of the people from my graduating class ever again. It's funny, when I went there all I could think about graduation, I literally had a countdown going since half way through sophomore year, and couldn't wait to get out of there. Now I feel like I wouldn't even mind going there for another year or four, and actually trying this time and not just doing the bare minimum just to get by all the time. Don't get me wrong, by no means was I an idiot stoner or anything, I had/have a good looking girlfriend, excelled in sports, and did okay in my classes but I don't know I feel like I could have tried a lot harder, maybe it's just because my ship date to USMC boot camp is drawing nearer and I'm just afraid of finally having to step out into the real world. Looking back now I would do so many things differently and been a completely different person if I got the chance to re-do it.

Well, it's been 7 years from when I finished high school, and I'd like to do it over again, knowing what I know now, I would have studied since the last 3 years I did almost none of my homework and was a pretty bad hellraiser, but I was also fair to my classmates, when a teacher was unjust to someone I always told the teacher to go F*** off and stuff like that.
All in all it was good times, lots of parties and no worries but yeah, you don't believe your parents about the benefits of studying hard until you are older.

I'd like to do the 11 and 12 grad of the "high schools" here again so I could learn more and wouldn't have such a lack of knowledge in math and chemistry now. I hated school though. University is way better. Just that it's also way harder and I'm bad in math and chemistry coz I discarded chemistry asap and had a VERY bad math teacher and I was lazy as fuck. But I also was lazy as fuck in physics where I had a good teacher and had good grades there...

I will kill to go back to my 14/15

14 to 18 was the best years of my life

YES with no seconds thoughts ! ( now that i look at my grades...gosh how i took highschool as a ''lol'' )
Had no worries...it was so easy ( comparing to the events now ) but back then it was : to study for a tast papper ? fuck that's hard !

The thing is, we always look back thinking about how we would do things differently but that's the present you looking back at the past you. We deal with what life presents us using the knowledge we have at the moment. Hindsight is always 20/20, isn't it?

If I could go back to High School and start over (knowing what I know now) I would have tried so much harder with school and sports. I played football and lacrosse all throughout school. I did get plenty of playing time but I definitely would have tried harder. As far as school goes I would have signed up for me AP classes and possibly tried enrolling in college classes. I wish someone would have told me "Man if I could go back in time I'd change so much" lol
