You should be enjoying the school years cause they'll be the best of your life. Said by someone who very obviously peaked in high school.
School was hell for me compared to other things.
Best in that you don't have adult responsibilities.
IDK being a kid was fun. Being an adult is more work.
We were in late high school, it's not like we had no responsibilities. Pretty much every year after that has been better than middle/high school for me.
To be fair, there seems to be a lot of people who think childhood was the best time of their life. I'm ~50 and I think life was best in my 30s, but it's still pretty great now also. Childhood, and highschool in particular, were the worst.
They were kind of right and really wrong.
Im 40 and married now... remember how nervous tou were just trying to talk to someone you had a crush on? That level of "Powerline up the ass" intensity of feelings?
Yeah these days, firstly if I'm ever single again shit has gone seriously sideways... But I could without a sense of trepidation walk up to Charlize Theron in a coffee shop, tell her how amazing she was in Aeon flux, ask her how she got involved in executive producing Hyperdrive for netflix and then ask her if she would like to grab dinner sometime. Because these days you have to really go some lengths to get a rise out of me.
