I had a Russian Politics course in college that was fun as fuck. Adjunct worked at a local think tank and we would have pizza parties and drink Polish beer and slivovitz. Those have nothing to do with Russia, he just liked feeding us pizza and getting us buzzed on Bloc liquor. I have happy memories of it.

I also remember my first college level German class. She said "You should withdraw now because German or any language is a black hole, a step into the unknown you may not want to make." Bitch was 9797900% right and still is to this literal moment. Why the fuck did I ever learn German?

I don't miss anything about K-12 and am glad it ended.
 
No. In fact, fuck no. I got two masters degrees while I was working. Despite the claim that they could easily work around my work schedule, they most definitely did not. I think I averaged four hours of sleep a day during those years, counting weekends. No regrets but no desire to ever step foot in another class again.
 
High school was hell for me, primarily due to incredible social anxiety, depression, and general awkwardness brought about by an abusive/neglectful upbringing.

I'll occasionally think about what my experience would've been if I hadn't gone through that/had my mind as it is now (largely healed/gotten over all those issues.)

I think I would've really enjoyed school. I've always been strong and would've killed it in high school athletics. And being a naturally good looking, charismatic guy, I reckon I could've made more friends and been better with women (as I've done since.)

Regretting stuff is one thing, but knowing you missed out on vital life experiences due to abuse against your will is just heartbreaking. I can't say I have regrets, because I didn't consciously choose to avoid things when younger. It was a natural response given how fucked up I was. It's more of a 'what could have been,' had I not had the fucked up upbringing I did.

Life is crazy.
 
I don't miss it but sometimes I'd like to go back and not be a rebellious retard, go to college, and eat the student loan debt.
But then I look over at the lives of college educated people and remember welding school is fucking free :story:

Then I don't care again
 
School seemed like boot camp but with less freedom.

Kids being jerks did not really help much either...

It's more of a 'what could have been,' had I not had the fucked up upbringing I did. I hated doing homework. Every day after school I would come and sit down to do my homework. It's just a nightmare, who came up with this? It's a pity that there was no calculus help before, nowadays there is https://edubirdie.com/calculus-help and it makes studying easier at school, college, etc. I always had problems with it. That's why I don't miss school at all. As for me, it's much easier to work. Although we were all told that it would be harder in adulthood. It's funny.

Life is crazy.

For me, both elementary school and high school were hell. The only thing I remember with a smile is how we spent time with friends at school. That's all.
