Why do some people hate high school so much?

[Ravencroft·]

I didn't do anything in highschool. My final GPA was a 1.8.

nah not really i liked my jobs and plus i made money so

I wish I could say the same. I did my first heavy labor job assisting a custodian in a terrible ghetto neighborhood a year ago (never again will I do that or work for another person unless I have to) and it was just a terrible experience. I will say that it was very fascinating to see coworkers (particularly five) who were nineteen year old boys already having over two kids.

If you slept, that still counts. I mean, you utilized your high school years by doing something at least!

Im studying Hydrology and Environment Engineering, was in community college for three years because I had to take my precalc, calc I, chem I and physics I prerequisites my first two semesters. After that I was in the Engineering Science program there the other four semesters before transferring.

Sounds like a very complicated process, but it seems like you've made it extremely far considering your high school GPA.

5 APs makes you want to break something real quick

dont take 5 aps?
they literally just cost money and if you dont do well in them then you 1) dont get credit and 2) wasted $90 or whatever on the test and 3) wasted your time

I want to get into an Ivy League or an equally reputable college so I need to challenge myself (or at least look like it) and also maintain a high GPA, and I am doing well in the classes although they are very stressful to take because of how easy your grade can fluctuate. My school is really damn competitive so if you don't take challenging courses or a schedule similar to mind you're going to get lost in the pack.

there's a lot of schools that are comparable to an ivy league that cost way less. you don't need to come out under an ocean of debt from those schools just to try to be better off.

My good friend from High School is going to a big school for pharmacy and is currently sitting at around $150,000 in debt and would be lucky to get a job within the first couple years of getting his degree.
Meanwhile I'm sitting at $15,000 in loans and already have a job lined up for when I finish college. It's just so much smarter financially to go to a decent two year school for $3,000 a semester starting off, especially considering the majority of people aren't even entirely sure what they want to do until they've experienced a couple semesters.

yea p much. i'd love to go to a big college with a great engineering program like vanderbilt but it's ~60k tuition so unless i get a free ride, there's no way i'll go there. i'll probably end up at either university of arkansas or mississippi state university.
