Do you still miss the life as a student? Why?? Or are you studying now?? How is your studying now then? What do you think? I reckon once i am working in the society , i would like to go back to the school because there is actually no pressure at the school.

Yes, I miss it. I miss the freedom and not having a full time boss. Mostly I miss my friends and the community I was involved in. Real world is hard with the full time job, house and other responsibilities. Looking back, I wish I had taken more time to do things that are more enjoyable. Instead, I was anxious to get out of there into the world of work. Here I am wishing I could go back. Oh well...

No I woulden't want to go back to schools days, I didn't really like it much, I prefer my independence now although life seems more simple sometimes as a student..

I'm a student, in my second year out of 4's. I like it very much because I have the opportunity to meet a lot of different characters. Some of my colleagues you could be best friends and you can learn a lot from them, and some ones are not yet matured. Last year was a bit tough because I knew only 3-4 people that were students and they were my high school mates. But with time I started to know my colleagues and it was great. I try to enjoy my time at my faculty to the max because this are some great year that everybody how went to a faculty remembers them.

As an adult student yes, I actually quite enjoyed studying and attending school. I didn't like school when I was younger however as I got older and decided to study part-time towards a buiness administration/commerce certificate, while I was working in Samoa. I quite enjoyed the classes and found that I concentrated/focussed more and the subjects were a lot more interesting. I had one more paper to complete, but unfortunately I was unable to finish it because our small family moved here to USA. When my son starts school later in the year, I hope I am able to finish off what I started a few years ago.

I miss those days... I wish I could go back.. There was nothing to worry about except for when exams were near... ;) It was so much fun, having so many friends all your age... The roaming on the streets, the gossip, the silly fights....

I can't say I'd ever like to "go back" to any certain point in my life because I have never been happier then I am right now. I will admit that I love to think back on school days and college times but for the most part they were just a part of my life and I've moved on. I could never understand those people that go back year after year for reunions until they're like 90! LOL Move on! That's my motto! But hey, if you wish you were back in school... it must be better than your life now I guess, right? But I have to say I really love my life in this moment. You'll appreciate both areas when you get out into the world. And I'm sure you will miss those days of being able to stay up all night and party and not ahave to worry where the next rent payment was coming from! LOL

I am still a student right now, but I miss my school days! What a days that was. I miss my teachers, fellow friends and all the jury staff. I wish I could go back to these days as I enjoyed a lot with friends. Bunks those days, made many girlfriends ;) in short the time I spend in my school is the most memorable time I miss now :) Now I am in collage and the life is boring so boring even I don't wish to study anymore, but as we all say we had to study for our bright future I am doing so :( I personally feel life as a student is the most happiest and most enjoyable life during studies. I hope you all enjoyed that. Have a very good day! Earn very happily :)

I don't think we ever truly stop being students if we intend on having and interesting life. When I was in college I studied biology and philosophy. Now I use the skills I developed there to learn more things all the time. I guess being a student or having the structure somewhere in my life has become a habit.

LIfe as a student was so enjoyable, memorable and unforgetable, with lots of friends around. I miss the student life, because student life was carefree life, with no tension of anything except studies and career. yes you are right,during our school life we didnot have any pressure. We were so happy. Iam not studying right now, iam working in the Hospital as Office secretary. I am planning to study next year.

I definitly miss being a student. I was GOOD at it!! I liked the open schedule and the freedom to spend my time as I wished. I was the president of several clubs and had a ton of great friends. Now, of course, I prefer having money to be able to eat. I was starving as a student. So I appreciate being able to eat, and I love being able to own my own home and afford to feed not just myself, but my 4 dogs as well!

I doubt I'll ever miss being a student. I'm just really not much of a school person. I like work just fine, but school has always been bad for me it seems. Sometimes I somewhat like it, but I wouldn't be sad to never go back again once I'm done with all I want to do.

Ya school days were much much better than this one. At that time, there were no tension, worry only we used to spend our time among friends and with study. From the money point of view, I was totally free. I need not to work during school days. I too would like to go back in school days, but it is not possible.

Very true, when I was still in school I cannot stop telling myself how excited I am to get out and start working, how fun it would be as compared to boring studies, how great it would feel because I am finally gonna earn, how amazing it is just the feeling of being in the working arena. But heck! It is not that great afterall, except from the fact that you are being paid for working, as compared to that of paying then you'll be given tons of homework. That is the only thing that is great about it. haha... The pressure is sometimes really overwhelming, unlike in school where the only thing that could affect your lousy performance is your grade, in real life, everything has much serious consequences, so it is so scary to screw up.. PRESSURE BUILDING UP all the time!

Yes i do, im no longer studying but i took up 2 courses. I finished Occupational Therapy and Nursing as well.Thats how much i love being in school.. why? because you dont get to go to work- all you have to do is study your lessons and get straight A's and you even get allowances and perks from your parents when your preforming good in class. Besides when your still studying, you get most holidays off- and you get to have vacations and breaks- long breaks that is... In school you have tons of friends to talk to- and there's not that much corruption yet. And you get to learn more and more everyday- andy you dont have problems of what to wear specially if you have a uniform... theres no dress code other than the uniform youre required to wear. And there's lots of events too- =)

Yes, i do miss my schooldays a lot. Because, it's more easy to study than to work. All you have to do is do your homework and projects What you do only affects you.When in work, everything you do will greatly affect the company and other people.

I'm living with my grandparents, and helping to care for my grandfather. He has type 2 diabetes and myotonic dystrophy, and is now confined to a wheelchair, having lost his feet. While I spend most of my time at home, always waiting to hear my name, I am taking a sign language class three hours per week (MWF). It's from 10 to 11, and my grandfather usually sleeps until almost noon. While I sit at home, I try to occupy my time online. I've been thinking about making some money filling out surveys, but it's impersonal and boring. I've been typing for fifteen years, so paid forums like this one are right up my alley! A bit off topic, I'm sure; but that one just kind of flowed right off the top of my head. :)
