I basically just did drugs and cheated through high school. It seemed like a really easy thing to me, though both girls I dated in my high school didn't manage to graduate.

graduating high school is one of the easiest things to do
I have a harder time doing a jaunty jig than I did graduating high school
congratulations on your horribly mundane and simple task
People who say high school is a waste of time obviously did not do very well in anything
Really? I thought it was a waste of time because I did well with no effort. It's all filler that you'll either forget or have to learn again anyway when you go to college/get a job with very few exceptions.
I managed to get a lot out of my time at school by using it to learn about things I actually cared about, but the curriculum was balls.

I spent all of high school skipping class and doing lots of drugs. I then graduated with 25 college credits lined up and now I am in college. I regret nothing.

There you go you got it
The only reason I had a failing grade in English at one point was I took the "no effort" too far and turned it into "doing absolutely nothing"

A large part of its purpose is teaching people to learn good study habits, so they can succeed in college and later in life. If you're wanting to get a jump start, take some AP classes.

I did!
It was still a waste of fucking time
Well i mean it opens a lot of doors to say "here I did some extracurriculars and got a 4.0 gpa" in terms of going to school or even joining the military or whatnot
It's fucking bullshit when people say "hey it was a waste of time" - only if you don't invest anything in the experience. I mean yeah I had a lot of shitty classes and a lot of shitty experiences, but in the end I felt like I walked out with something, probably because i got money to go to school thanks to high school.
Not targeting you, just saying people in general sometimes do this, and it irritates me because really even though high school education is bullshit, what you do there does matter. If you do well in high school and you're interested in higher education, you're basically set to begin. If you're not and don't have many options, well that's understandable but it's a whole other issue.

for my grand finale in high school
I made my art teacher start crying, storm out of the room, not come back for 2 weeks, come back drunk, get fired, become an alcoholic, and lose her house

put that thousand bucks to your text books. it'll buy about 2
Trip across Europe is cool though.
-Oscar Wilde
buying books sucks pretty badly
Uh its always been
It's not that hard to graduate high school
I mean I managed
Also, yeah textbooks, two of my texts this semester cost me over $300.
Also, a tip about university. If your TA is hot, hit on her/him. It can't hurt, and it could help.
It shows.
With the exception of senior year, that was pretty rad
I did!
It was still a waste of fucking time

Fuck you.

Weren't you failing several classes? (Several can be any number greater than 0)
That's not doing well.
People who bitch about HS or college not being worth it should really just say "I am a gigantic moron and/or too fucking lazy to amount to shit."
you're pretty cool

One for like two weeks
I found absolutely nothing worthwhile about the shit that happened in school beyond hanging out with my friends during senior year

This here?
This is a wonderful thing
