Recess and lunch time.

I miss having time to actually stop and rest for a day during learning weeks. Uni is so full on compared to high school, once the semester starts I don't really stop and rest until exams are done. I also miss the countless hours of sleep that I got that I don't get during the uni semester

Other than that, maybe that you all had breaks at the same time, you had time to talk to everyone, where as now in uni, some friends you may not see for the whole semester if you don't have breaks at the right times.

I guess I also miss being able to slack off at some points (kinda goes back to the first point) and still be ahead of the class, it just gave more of a 'safety net', in high school I didn't have to do much to not fall behind, where as in uni you're constantly fighting to keep up, not to drop back.

Also having the time to go around and helping others in the class, I spent a lot of my time in year 12 helping others rather than sitting down and doing my work. There's just not as much time for that anymore (I still help if asked), but it's more fighting to keep yourself on track as well.

One last thing, going back to earlier years, I kinda miss P.E. Having that hour just to go run around and exercise properly with everyone just seemed relaxing, you didn't have to achieve anything exactly.

I agree with this completely. I miss the fact that I would be able to rest, recuperate, and still manage to stay ahead of the class in high school. The safety net is definitely something I took for granted in high school. University has turned me into a completely sleep-deprived zombie.

High-school is sort of the only place where people will go absolutely out of their way to help you with anything ever (teachers).
It's sort of weird. I pretty much hated everyone I ever met in high-school (I'm serious), but it's sort of weird to miss them. I guess you don't realise how much of a 'relationship' you have with people until they aren't there anymore (even if your relationship consists of snide comments at the locker bay).

I also think we have a tendency to glorify the past. School was probably the thing that was most depressing for me (the majority of it anyway), yet I still look back nostalgically and conveniently, I don't pay much attention to the horrible feelings that were had there, which heavily outweighed the good times hahaha.

Everything.

If you are yet to graduate I advise against readings this

What so you're just going to go ahead and do it anyway?

Well screw you then, you asked for it

School was so fucking eeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssssssyyyyyyyyyy!

[BelVP]

Am I the only one here who does not miss high school at all in the slightest?

[jeanweasley]

The structure of having something done by a set time. And friends. But mostly I'm happy to get out after 6 years. haha.

I tell you won't I will never miss: the 8.45am starts! I woke up at 9.30am today and it was wayyy too early.

I miss 8.45 starts. I've been waking up at 5.30-6.30 every day of semester and that is wayyyy too early.

I don't miss school at all.
I like freedom.

I don't miss school at all.
I like freedom.

I had more freedom in VCE than at uni

As an upside, I get to sleep in more! Success

Freedom ≠ Free Time

With great freedom comes great responsibility.
I like making my own decisions and being the instigator of my own future.

Lockers.

You know, getting closer and closer to school ending, I suddenly don't want to finish. Like what will my life be when school's finish? I don't feel ready to finish so soon..

[teletubbies_95]

I seriously don't want school to end ever.
I'll miss everything! From singing the school song at assembly and forgetting the second verse, to walking through the corridors between classes saying “Hi’ to familiar faces, to going to random lunch time activities and talking about MHS boys
