13 years & 2340 instructional days have all come down to this. Graduation week. Your resilience and tenacity have not gone unnoticed. We're so proud of you! How Has High School Changed Me? - By Madelyn Delaney High school for me was frankly miserable. It hasn’t changed me, it’s the experiences that I’ve had in high school that have. All it’s made me is bitter. High school is riddled with a bunch of cliques that peak there, filled with people whose perception is so self-warped that they’ll toss you away when something better comes along, without a glance back. It’s people that criticize and belittle and think they know you better than you know yourself. I’m over it. I’m over the countless movies that glamorize it, that tell you you’ll find an amazing high school romance, and they’ll be the love of your life, and it will be the best years of your life. Newsflash: It’s not true, any of it. Not for me. I was the one that everyone liked, but not enough to get invited anywhere. I was the one that only had one friend that was wonderful, and sometimes I wouldn’t appreciate her as much as I should. Sometimes I’m the one who still hasn’t learned and yearns for the poison that turned me bitter in the first place. Change is an ongoing process, more like a ocean where you have no idea what direction you’re going in. A nasty storm could hit and you could either end up where you started or somewhere you’ve never been. So no, I haven’t changed because of high school, I’ve changed in spite of it. I’ve learned how to handle disappointment, and how to manage my expectations. High school is not the end all be all, I’m glad I’ll peak in college.

20 years ago, Clinton was still screwing Monica, prices of gas averaged $1.15 a gallon, and the Internet was something only MIS majors in college really knew about!
