As good as my life has started to turn out nowadays, I often still find myself reminiscing the good old days of high school. I made a
Formspring.me account, and got asked frequently about my high school life. Well, this post goes out for those who are curious to know how I was in high school. Here are some questions and answers:
1. I bet you were very popular in high school! How was it like? Some of you that haven't known me in the real world might have made a snap judgment that I was "miss popular" in school. With all the friends, the super cool look, the parties, the boys, the drama. Well, well, I'm nothing at all like that. I was really an average student, my friends aren't that much, I never party, I personally think I looked nasty, & I only had 2 boyfriends throughout high school. But drama, of course, who doesn't go through the damn drama in school?
2. What were you like in high school?Frankly, I hated high school when I was still in it. I loathe all the teenage crap I had to deal with everyday. I remember always wishing for high school to be over as soon as possible. The peer pressure was really depressing. I was very "low profile" back then, didn't have that much friends. All I did in class was sleeping and being online on my cellphone. The teachers knew me as the one who always sleep. But don't get me wrong though, I got pretty good grades!
3. Were you one of those girls that wore tight uniforms? Were you fashionable in high school?
Depends on what your definition of tight is. The way I dressed was fairly appropriate, I wore a uniform that would fit well on my tiny body. There was those times when I wore silly tight uniforms, but it didn't last long. And as for fashionable, oh wow, I find that question very weird. How much fashionable can you get if you must wear a uniform? And I'm not a fashionable person anyway. I was one of those girls that come messy to school.
4. What was your favorite high school activity?
I was very involved in the photography class that we had every once a week. But besides that, I was in an organization that encouraged to love nature and the environment we live in. They called it "Pecinta Alam" which in English literally means "Nature Lover". It had lots of outdoor activities; camping, mountaineering, climbing, rafting, caving, etc. It was without doubt the best I've ever done in high school. I made great friends being in that organization, and not to mention, I met Jason, my high school sweetheart there too.
5. In high school, were you a good student or bad student?
I was a bad student in my first year. Skipped school all the time for stupid reasons, when I didn't skipped school, I got into fights with seniors and always did bad in my exams. I almost got myself expelled from school because of my terrible behavior. At one point, I realized that my actions was too shitty for myself to handle, so in my second year, I transformed myself into a good student. And I really was good. Except the 'sleeping in class' part, but at least I was in school rather than not!
6. Would you go back to high school if you could?
Definitely. As my mom used to say, "I'd like to go back to high school but with all the knowledge I have now". I wish I was more smarter back then, so I could eliminate all the stupidity I've done. Even though I really, really, really hated high school, I'd still do anything if I could get into a time machine and do it all over again even if I should be stupid again. The essence of high school is certainly all the foolishness, craziness, and ridiculous drama. I'd like to have a second chance.
For my dear readers who are still in high school, you should enjoy every minute. No matter how much it sucks. I really do regret wasting away all my precious time while I was still in high school. Because when I moved away for college, I realized that the 'real world' is way different than being a high schooler. I gained freedom after I graduated, however the responsibilities aren't little. So, please, have as much fun you can! Believe me, you can ask anyone who has graduated high school, they would totally kill to go back. Talk to you again soon!
