Same here. A lot better than middle school. God, that was torture.

It's a lot less dramatic than middle school, too. Yes, there's still drama, but less of the trivial "blah blah blah stole my boyfriend" stuff.

It's fun to look back and realize how many dumb things you did [not] say/do/etc. during high school.
Then, you look further and realize you were SO much worse in middle school. ;)

I hate being at high school, I really can't wait to leave it. I think it's just because I don't like my school.
Ellyphant says,
I'm sorry. I generally dislike my school as a facility because a lot of our funding has been wasted, and our administrators do not crack down on things they should be taking care of. As far as the people, there are a lot that think they are tough shit, but the kids in my classes are fantastic and I have a few great friends.
