Life is different after high school. Instead of looking forward to another state-required year of acedemic torture, you actually have to make decisions about what you'll spend your time doing. The world doesn't quite look the same post-secondary.

I'm going to have to disagree. It's going to suck just as much as high school, I bet.

He didn't say it'd be better, he said it'd be different.

Just wondering, it's usually called tertiary, isn't it?
Though I do think that there are a lot of decisions right now in high school, college can be limited if you don't go somewhere with a broad course selection. Since after this semester, I'll have exhausted all of the economics courses at my community college(Economics: Micro and Macro).

And I can´t believe I´m going to be 20 this summer. My life as a teenager will be over.

I started to feel old when I turned 16-17 but that feeling disappeared, luckily enough.

I was 18 when I started to feel old. It was early 2006 and I woke up and suddenly I realized that time was moving really really fast. Like a minute would go by, but it only felt like maybe 20 seconds.

Following the list of ordinates, yes. However, education after high school is usually referred to as "post-secondary education." Since college, internships, specialized acedemics and the like all fit into the category--and neither one is necessarily a prerequisite of the others--the word "Tertiary" isn't so much applicable because you can't say which one will come next after high school.

Anyhow, all I meant by my comment is that life, for myself and I'll say most others, looks different after high school. When you have different things to look forward to than another year of school, you start making observations about how the world works and what role you want yourself to have in it.

I don't know about anybody else, but it was the few months after I graduated high school when I started to really be bothered by people's general motive for doing what they do. Politics, career titles, money... all fairly disgusting from my point of view. Nothing I ever cared to think about when there was homework to do.

I'll be 18 in a month... 17 was good to me. Life is good to me in general, but 17 was a lot of fun.

Happy birthday mate

We really need the calendar back so people's birthdays won't slip by unnoticed. Of course, you could always look at the archive, but I never do.

And some people's birthdays aren't in the archives...I had only 4 posts at the third board, for instance. Or was it 3?

My 17th birthday was honestly the worst I can remember, to be honest.

EDIT: Oh yeah, happy birthday regardless.

yeah, mine was boring. I went to school, came home (practice was canceled due to weather), practiced guitar (for hours) and now I'm gonna go to sleep soon.

I was 17 in 2004 and 2005, the two worst years of my life.

I'm not sure if this is true, but supposedly your percieved life (assuming a normal lifespan of 70-ish) is half over before you're 10 years old. Now that's scary.

I've experienced the time speedup phenomenon, and most people I talk to have also. I remember a time when a month seemed like a year, and a summer was eternity. Now, 2004 feels like last week.

yeah, I can believe that. I feel the exact same way, and I remember wording it the same way once before too.

I honestly think it's just our minds getting used to time passing. If you think about it, passing through time is sort of like swimming. At first, your muscles are weak and undeveloped, so it takes a long time to get from place to place, than, as you become stronger, you also become faster.

I also think it has to do with the amount of (positive and negative -- but mostly positive) events that happen around you. The more negative events (or just nothing) happens, I feel my time was wasted. Time just seems to go faster that way, especially if I waste it alone.

Being 17 also means one more thing -- I'm one of the few 17 year olds whos never even come close to dating someone yet. Hell, I've never done ANYTHING with the opposite sex, and when I hear about 12 yr olds getting bjs I get mad, jealous, disgusted, and depressed all at the same time. I try man, it's just that girls aren't attracted to me, and I don't know why!

anyway, hopefully this year will be better, but I doubt it. I'm getting depressed again, so I'm gonna finish this post.

I've never dated either, and I'm 19. I guess girls aren't interested in guys with Asperger's syndrome, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and really bad allergies.

I don't really want to get involved with a girl while I'm still in the USA though, I don't want to end up stuck here...
