Did life after high school change for you?

Question

My high school life was ok! I did ok in school, I just did all the work and never went haha and spent my weekends hanging out with friends.

But after graduation, I stayed home and went to a community college while pretty much all of my friends left and went out of state for college. I feel like I lost everybody! I feel like such a loser now lol. I spend a lot of nights alone and rarely go out! I mean I have friends, but not as many. And I find myself trying to do my best in college! Like seriously busting my *** for school. My frist year I got a 3.8 gpa. Is that weird? Can anyone else relate?

Answer 1

i could relate in the most opposite way.

i regret ever god d**n day of my highschool experience.

my freshman year was great, i had alot of friends, i enjoyed all my classes, i was well known, but not popular. besides the drama, my first year was pretty good, although i'm kinda weird and cant relate to most ppl, but my outgoing personality made up for it.

but as the years by i realized that most of my friends weren't my friends. i was stupid during my freshman year, i was trying so hard to be like everyone else and mostly those i conversate with, it was hard to tell who really claimed me as a friend or not, the answer was no one. i was just too dumb to realize. my good friends made me feel left out, but when i stopped trying to be like everyone else, they basically just left me out. i did become cool with one one guy who was weird and tried to fit in with everyone else, we was like best friends. but he stopped hanging with me to hang with some popular ppl who didnt really pay any attention to him.

my senior year was the worse. yea i skipped prom, but i had no friends at all, everyone was just my associates. yea i conversate with them as if they was any other friend to keep myself entertained, but they dont even think to talk or speak to me outside of those classes. graduating had to be my best highschool experience.

i do feel like i missed out on alot in highschool, i tried, but there's nothing i could do other than to kiss everyone's *** and pretend to be someone i'm not, but i chose what's right for me. i made most of my true/best friends through my job, so that made up for what i lacked in highschool, i wouldnt trade them for anyone else, they all spreaded out after graduation too.

so anyway, i started summer school at a community college in another city, like and hour and 30 mins from home so i'm staying on campus, and this have to be the best experience of my life. the ppl here are very diverse so i made friends with ppl i can actually relate to, since i'm "well-rounded" i can relate to alot of ppl in some way, i made ALOT of friends, i miss my old friends, but i'm enjoying life wayyy better here.

sometimes it bothers me that i would of enjoyed my teenage life if my parents chose to live elsewhere. my main problem is that i DONT belong there, and finding somewhere i belong is the only way to fix it, my true friends made me feel like i belong here because we can relate and we're not like most ppl, but without them, i would be alone. so maybe you would be alot better off if you found somewhere you belong. if you can relate to the friends you lost, maybe you should go out of state, or find a college at a different place at least.
