Yesterday was my final day of senior year. Also got my Xbox modchip installed and saw the new matrix. All in all, a pretty good day Thursday.

Congrats on graduating! Now a whole new stage of life begins. Enjoy it, but think to the future.

Congrats dawg!

Congrats to you, dawg and all the other new graduates.

Young bucks! :)

Now you have to look foward to parties, women, more school and then kids, job, etc...

..but for now enjoy your freedom!!!

Congrats!

Bah. Like my high school woodshop teacher told me on the day I graduated:

"The best years of your life just went by, and you don't even know it."

Yeah, eventually you will wonder why you were so anxious to get out of high school and get old...

Im guessing your woodshop teacher never went to college then.

Freshman year of college living in the dorms. Drinking Nat light and Beast every day, getting blazed, not going to class, trying to bang chicks everynight, finding new and unique ways to humiliate your friends as they are puking their brains out. Those are the best years of your life.

A bit of advice: Come Junior year you do need to start going to class or else you will become a woodshop teacher.

Geez, your school year is over already??? When did you start??

Yeah its been 3 years since HS ended and I still miss it .

Congrats, good luck in the future.

Congatulations on graduating my man!!

Good job!

I started early September. Ah, the joys of private school :)

Anyways, thank you to all of you for all the congratulations. I'm definately going to miss high school and all the friends I made. I'll be starting at Southwestern University in August, and hopefully it's as fun (college) as everybody says.

Bits of advice from an old(er) guy:

(1) When you get to college, it will probably be unlike anything you've experienced before. This is a good thing.

(2) When you get to college, it will probably be unlike anything you've experienced before. This is a bad thing.

(3) Your GPA is cumulative. If your future employer looks at your GPA (and admittedly many don't), it's hard to hide that first screw-off semester or three.

(4) Have an idea about what you want to do. Don't lock yourself into it, just keep it in mind.

Good luck.

Find out if your school has "exemptions" My school gave us 4. You could use them to completly erase a grade from your GPA. You did have to take the class over again but at least you got 4 free passes. a.k.a - 1st semester freshman year.

More unsolicited advice from an older guy

Remember that you have millions of options and try to explore as many as possible before tying yourself down with any “real” responsibility.

I know I took some of my responsibilities (like jobs that were in hindsight pretty meaningless) way too seriously and bi-passed some great opportunities.

Here's my old-guy advice:

Take a patty-cake schedule your first year. We're talking the bare-minimum to be considered a full-time student (usually around 9 credit hours). Lots of gen-ed brainless crap. Because you've only got one shot at being 18, away from home, free of responsibility, and surrounded by nubile young hot chicks. By the way - most college campuses in America are now 60% women. Enjoy. I can tell you this much, nobody graduates college and says to themselves, "Hmm... I really wish I had banged fewer chicks."

High school sucked. College was great. Not because I got drunk all the time (because I didn't), just because of the freedom.

I have 13 days left in my junior year:D

Congratulations. I remember those days, I think.

Wait, he just said it was his final day of high school. Nothing about graduating.

For all we know he ran out of "redshirt" senior years...after 4 or 5 years in 12th grade they kick you out. :)

Why do you wanna leave high school so badly. I'm thinking of failing so I can stay a few more years.

Graduation ceremony is on May 31st. I don't know what's with the 2 week delay either.

Its not so much wanting to leave HS as it is me wanting to live out the college experience.

Oh yeah, are there any English majors on the board? Or Political Science?

I think Southwestern is the right choice for the Austin area- at least for undergrad study. Do yourself a favor. Study the liberal arts rather than something vocational. Make sure to touch on everything including the hard sciences and math. Then, once you've learned about the world, pursue a specialty in graduate school at UT.
