What he said. HS is 4 pitifully short years that will **** you up hard if you dont get over them quickly. Best thing to do is make a clean break and move on. Re invent yourself if necesary, but continue to evolve...
How sad is your high school class?

Hairy bush, cut cocaine, and Cinderella. **** Yeah!!!
its not who has the college degree, but who's smart with there money. I horde my money hardcore, INVESTMENTS INVESTMENTS INVESTMENTS!
Where the money??
Totally with you on the Golf, it was just an easy pot shot.
Oh well no **** then. I'd imagine the sort of suck you'd be dealing with there could only be rivaled by some places in Orange County, CA, etc.
Yup. I've been to Laguna Beach a bunch, and the number of botox'd up, plastically enhanced rich 40-something white women around their is unreal. I have to imagine their offspring are simply delightful.
Clearly your 80's were not my 80's.
From the time I spent in So-Cal I would say it was very similar. Instead of the (insert west coast stereotype here) I had to deal with the suburban Jersey Shore types.Totally with you on the Golf, it was just an easy pot shot.

Although I can say few positive things about the social aspects of my childhood I lived in a place where I had access to hundreds of acres of woods in a time when no one care about things like trespassing. I grew up with a sense of freedom, running and riding through woods and trails owned by someone else but felt like my own. Looking back, it was pretty ****ing awesome.
He's talking about the 1980's, not the 1280's.
Yeah NY and SoCal are the only places I've ever lived for more than a few months at a time. I'm ready to GTFO. Really pulling for PNW, need to find a jerb though.
I went to school in a fairly wealthy area and most folks seem to have done reasonably well.
My wife's class is about the complete opposite. Lots of popular kids and football players whose lives peaked in high school. She shows me stuff on facebook sometimes and I feel like I'm looking at a bunch of aliens.

I cant help but feel like there is something profound going on here.
I agree but it kinda only works when you know what you are doing and preferably live in a big city (or a city where you can follow your dreams).
I was going a very fancy shmancy high school with ib program and most of my friends are either doing their PhD's now or are stuck in a corporate loop. It seems great but it's not for me and I know I would be pissed if I were in their place.
You can have the best job in the world but if you don't like it you will probably be crap at it anyway so why bother?
btw. On the topic of school friends -I found 2 guys I went to primary school are not in a police database they show you when somebody mugs you. Not that I'm suprised. You could see there were heading that direction even at 9.
Hell, I don't even stay in touch with anybody I went to college with either. I don't have many friends, but those who I do keep in touch with I met through riding.
my class was sad even before graduation.
senior prom: there was a girl in attendance who had 3 kids. from 3 different guys.
looking at facebook pics, by and far the majority have done one of three things:
1) the same things they were doing in high school
2) Gotten fat. REALLY FAT.
3) All of the above.

I've got maybe two dozen high school classmates that have friended me on facebook. Funny, because I wasn't friends with most of them in high school and in fact they really didn't give two sh*ts about me. But I accept their friendship requests anyway, then LOL at what their lives have become and feel good about myself.
My college friends on facebook are all healthy and successful.

You really should have paid attention in English.<snip> Its okay, pays the bills and what not and were comfortable. That being said, I really should have finished college.
I thought college was for drinking beer and shagging... is it not any good for that any more?
There are less expensive ways to accomplish the same.I thought college was for drinking beer and shagging... is it not any good for that any more?
Oh, our lives sound the same, however there is now light at the end of the tunnel for the 4 year school. And hopefully my masters program. What am I talking about? I got this haha, it's all mind set.Graduated in '08 (it's sad I had to think for a minute what year I graduated already). Almost all of my friends who didn't go to college/dropped out are in the coal mines and spending every penny they earn while still living with their parents. Most of my friends in college are doing well, a couple in med school, few nurses already (or close to it). I'm probably the lower end of the spectrum... going to community college while living with the parents.... but slow and steady wins the race, right? right?
Yea, I went to a private school, religiously focused. No one believed in what the school taught that went there, and they still don't, including myself. Some are successful... 2 pharmacists in the making, a doctor etc... the rest are lost and not making their way, a few military.
Only one or two with a criminal record now. Seems like I am killing it at this point in life compared to most of them, but I still feel so behind.

Guess that was in year three.You really should have paid attention in English.
Yeah, but do they include that sense of reckless abandon? And end with something *some* employers are impressed by?
Couldn't you at least wait for them to graduate first?
