I'm still in school and every day I have fun with my friends and colleagues. I know that I will miss these times. It is really cool.

I also think that high school is the best part of all. When I found out that I passed the entrance exam for the university that I'd been dying to go to, I was really happy. But on the day of graduation, we all felt like we didn't wanna graduate. Graduation was bittersweet. I've only had a semester of college, but I could say that my experiences there were totally different from that of high school. Kind of overwhelming. I was lonely at college. I was the only one from our school who got admitted there, so basically I had no one to share with our memories of high school. I would often eat alone for lunch because my new friends (should I say, acquaintances?) had different schedules (it was free section there, meaning every class that I attended had different classmates and a different professor). I missed my high school friends so much. They were different. I found it hard to find someone like them. I also stayed in a dormitory, and sometimes I wouldn't even come home on a weekend because I didn't have any money to pay for transportation.

Hello yogesh0505! I have always enjoyed my school days. My favorite of course was high school. I had a lot of fun as a student from grade school to college. I have always been very active in academic as well as other extra-curricular activities. When I started working, it's as if I never left school. Because now, that is where I work. And each time I see my students, I remember my college days too.

Many people, in fact, most people, told me that high school life is the best phase of someone's life. I myself think that way too. Because, like you said, there are too many memories to forget, including friends, teachers, and maybe lovers. In addition, when I graduated from my high school and start attending college, some of my seniors told me that college's life is rather cruel, hard to make friends, no playing at all, enormous tasks, and all. To be honest, I was worried. But then I told myself that I have to attend college no matter what. So I attended it, and the first thing I felt was that college's life is not as dark as my seniors told me. There are a lot of friends to make, I can still play (sports) with my friends, and other things that I enjoyed. The only distinct different between high school and college is future. I felt that most of every high school student will think future as college or maybe hobbies. This is different if we attended college. Most people will start thinking about finding a job, or continuing education to higher level. Maybe some of us called this phase as maturity. Because the nature of human is happiness and leisure, it is understandable if many people said that high school life is more enjoyable than college's life. But, to be honest, every single person has to be carry heavier burden, as the age expands, and that including me, you, and everyone else. My advise to you is just enjoy your life as it is, flow like a water. If you still think that high school is more enjoyable and you felt sad about leaving it, so be it, remember it as your most enjoyable experience, do not ever forget about that memorial, but because you have to move to other phases, you need to move on. I am sure that your friends also feel the same about you, you miss them, they miss you. The only way to heal it is keep the communication on between you all. In addition, you always have new friends to discuss everything, like here in Mylot. I wish you success for your life.

Dear yogesh, school life is a golden period, once golden period is over you can't get back it again. I am 25 years old, miss my school life alot, my friends, my teachers, bunking classes, teasing grils, every thing i am missing, the most importnt thing i lose is my sweet 15 age, the sweetness in my face, the beauty in your words, i want it back, but i can't. About college days its a nice feeling being a college students, there you find newfriends, lecturers, new things to learn , and design you future. yogesh all the best.

I'm still at school, however, I really hate it. I hate being stressed because of tasks, tests, I hate the noise in the classroom,... :(

i ma'bout to leave my college in 8 months. When looking back on these beautiful days, i found that campus is a such a place that you're cursing it everyday,about the bad food,exams,hard courses...but when someone out of my college curse it too, i would be upset and debat with'em. There's a place you'll not only learn some theory things on the books but how to step into the society and survive it. A decent friends is not so often to come across but a honest one is very easy to have if U R honest too. Try your best to learn things and don't lose yourself.
