Thread: does life really get better after high school?

first adults tell us that it does get better after high school, then they turn around and tell us to enjoy school because it's the best time of our life.

EDIT: gah I dont know how to edit the polls. typo on really

Pretty sure life is what you make it after high school. Actually, pretty sure life is what you make it period.

Life is what you make it...but I love life outside of hs. College is so much better with all the freedom and only 4 classes a semester

I thought college was the best time, not high school...

The only people who think high school was the best time of their lives are those people who dicked off all through highschool; partying drinking and having sex, and didn't learn anything. The rest of their lives are worse in comparison because they have spent the following years making up for those early mistakes.

In conclusion, the rest of your life has the potential to be leaps and bounds better than high school, as long as you don't have too much fun before you get out.

edit; same goes for college.

Some good results.. Life is pretty good in highschool. At least in the summer.

People that say such things, that dwell in dualities such as better or worse, are people who fail to live in the moment.

Such are caught up in the ideas and thoughts of past or future, so caught up that they end up missing the greatest part of the present moment. We have all been such people at one time or another. Some, if not most, live their whole lives that way, lost in an ocean of thoughts of what could have been and what should be, or might be. Thinking as such, one misses what is here now.

Be here now

Live this moment

Savor it

Glean from it what it has to teach

It will not pass this way again as it is now

The true wisdom is that 18-30 is the best time of your life. After that, you're usually tied to some naggy bitch or a lazy alcoholic by a bunch of little shits.

Truer wisdom yet, is that the naggy bitch or a lazy alcoholic or a bunch of little shits are really divine masters in disguise. They are your teachers that you should bow down before, for they are driving you towards awakening and realization.
You have the choice of seeing them as either the naggy bitch or a lazy alcoholic or a bunch of little shits that you initially take them to be, or seeing them as your teachers pointing out the lessons residing within you. One way of seeing takes you towrds an awakening, the other takes you towards a comatose slumber. The choice in perception is the individuals to make.
