If I could go back in time with what I know now and try harder yes. For a while I was having dreams about going back to high school which is weird because I graduated. I don't really miss anyone since I can talk to them now if I really wanted to.

TRY HARDER?! Lol no, if anything I'd try LESS. If I went back like that, all I would do is what anyone would do: Cheat every possible way I could to use time more wisely, maybe do a sport better, and bone the people I didn't bone, oh and invest in "X" tech company to be a billionaire. That's it. You don't have TRY HARDER. Trying harder is for suckers.

Besides I don't miss anyone from that era. If anything, I wouldn't even keep the friends I had back then. When you get older and you know what friendships last and which ones don't, why would I bother wasting my time at the ones that don't last, if I were to go back? If anything I can count the friends I'd keep on one hand.

Jesus you sound miserable.
 
I'd go back if given the choice but I have other places I'd rather go back in time for. I could restart college, make more money from gamestop and crypto, get the GS job I wanted, get and keep a couple of the girls I mrt in my early 20s and then some. High school sounds fun but my college years had better opportunities and experiences available.
 
I miss college. It was the perfect world since I didn't work my way through it. If I'd had a job it probably would have sucked. It was all the freedom of being an adult but with a schedule I set of things I (for the most part) wanted to study. There was a sort of grief and bitterness when I realized that the high point of life had passed and was never coming back again.
 
For the most part I'm very glad that I'm out of all of that bullshit, even though there were plenty of teachers and classes I liked. I miss the social dynamic of a few college classes, mostly the art classes where we all enjoyed each others company and spent a few hours dicking around with clay. I do find myself wishing I could study a language in a traditional classroom setting again. My Latin class in high school was awesome, and German in college was pretty fun. But the best classes where the ones where everyone actually wanted to be there, so I definitely don't miss my middle school years where no one, not even the teacher, gave two shits about the class.
 
A part of me miss Uni. I had some cool professors and I really enjoyed writing essays. But academics have gone to shit DRASTICALLY since I graduated, so I won't go back.

Not the school itself but all the things around it we got into with friends. Could be in school, or when avoiding school.

That's kinda how I feel.

Nobody wants to go back and do spelling tests. But the weekends where I went to video rentals or electronic stores? And they actually had shit I cared about? Or when there was an honest-to-god arcade right next to a gas station that also had video game rentals? Fuck yes I want to revisit that!

Nowadays its all digital lists and storefronts, which just don't have the same air of "treasure hunting" that the physical locations did.
 
Absolutely not.

In Spanish class, everyone passed, except the one and only spic chick. The stupid spic failed Spanish.

How the fuck does a SPIC fail SPANISH?

She was not amused by my drawing of a train full of spics headed towards Mexico, with a sign on the side that says "illegal spics go home!".

In Gender Studies (what we had instead of Gym sometimes) the teacher said he doesn't believe in gay rights, only civil rights. What ever the fuck is that supposed to mean? "I hate faggots but I'm cool with niggers" ?? more like "I'm secretly gay and I love me some BBC" fucking faggot ass teacher.

The actual black ass nigger teacher who's last job was in a prison. Called everyone by their last name and couldn't use a Mac to save his life. It was a graphic design class of course.

In math, many kids just couldn't, even with a calculator.

In English, how many people couldn't handle basic grammar. Also, I think the spic chick passed, barely.

On the bus, the white trash nigger trying to trade your good CD player for his shitty broken one. Every day, as if today was any different than yesterday or last month. Later I ditched the CD player for a ThinkPad, now he wants to "tune my EQ" for me. Yeah, sure, white ass nigger.

Drugs. They were taking over just as I was on my way out.

Anyone who wants to go back to school needs to get a fucking life, grow some friends, make some cannabis, whatever floats your boat, but stay the fuck away from school.
 
Sorta? I don't want to share too much but I kept into college because bad economy and free scholarships.

Happy times also hard times.

I taught and that was super fun crazy being when I did I was the adjuct prof and youngest in class lmao.
 
School itself I don’t really miss. It was fine. Didn’t particularly like or hate it. Miss some of the friends I had back then that I’ve lost contact with along the way. I think most people get nostalgic sometimes for the days when they had less responsibility and worries and could just enjoy life with their buddies and being a kid/teen without things like money, bills, work, family life etc taking precedence.

I heard Spanish classes are a bit of a wash because of all the variations in accent and use of words, which wouldn't surprise me if that's why she failed Spanish. For example, pronunciations are different between Mexico and Cuba. The 'll' is pronounced with a J sound in Cuba, but a Y sound in Mexico, but since they're not teaching the Cuban pronunciation, you'll get corrected even though it's still Spanish.

I totally get that. But this chick was dumb as rocks and the class was the absolute beginner level.

The final exam was mostly multiple choice with a few short free form answers. Anyone who can read English and had a basic vocabulary of written Mexican Spanish could have passed.
 
I have nightmares of missing the bus or missing a class so I have to go back to high school, so no.
 
I don't miss school, but I miss the naivete I had in early adulthood. I don't want the naivete back, just the lack of existential dread.
