Answer 1

I absolutely miss high school. And I've been out of high school for 4 years now. We were all SO excited to graduate and just be done with high school, but once I started college, I really missed it.



I missed the familiarity, the same old friends, the routine, my hometown, everything.



I know what you mean about the ups and downs, too. Like, when I got to college, I was nervous but excited about meeting new people. But when that wore off, and I'd talk to my friends back home, I just wanted to be there so bad. Then, I'd have a great day (or few days) with my new friends, and I didn't miss home as much.



You'll get used to it. It's a huge transition. Sure, millions of high school students make that transition every year, but that doesn't mean it's going to be easy for you. It sure wasn't easy for me.



Believe me, though. The first three months are the hardest. But when it comes time for Christmas break, you'll realize that, hey, you're going to miss your new friends and college while you're gone. You'll be excited to go home, but you'll be excited to go back after break, too.



Soon, you won't miss home nearly as much. You'll probably never stop missing it, but it'll get WAY easier to deal with.



Also, don't feel bad about looking at pictures from high school and just remembering good times. That's normal. Hell, I STILL look through my yearbooks a few times a year and I graduate high school YEARS ago. And now that I'm done with college, I have some of the same feelings about my college friends. I miss them A LOT; I miss college, but it's easier to deal with this time around simply because I know this sort of..."grieving" process is normal.



Good luck to you.

Answer 2

I guess I sort of did for a while until I got settled in and made new friends. Then, I really didn't have time to miss them since there was so darn much classwork to get done. (How dare it intrude into my social life! Yes, that's sarcasm.)



What I did was e-mail back and forth a lot with a few of them. How's your school, are you having fun, etc. -- just keeping the communication open so it didn't seem like we were all hundreds of miles apart. You'll get used to it, and eventually will think it's really great to be able to see or even talk to these people once or twice a year despite still being good friends.

Answer 3

Not really. I hated high school, but sometimes I do miss those days because I didn't have to really be responsible for my life. Being an adult brings more responsibility. It takes awhile to adjust to life at college, give it a year or two. Good luck.

Answer 4

I've been out of high school now for a little over 2 years and I still miss it to some extent. I'm at a community college finishing my basics now but I will transfer to an out of state four-year university in the Spring of 2009. Therefore,I mostly still hang out my friends from high school, after all, they are my best friends. However, alot of people that I knew as "casual" friends or aquaintances have moved in different directions and I rarely, if ever, talk to them except on Myspace once in awhile. Even at a junior college in the same town as your high school, you still miss the familiarities. After all, it was such an easy time in our lives. Friends, dating, driving, grades, hanging out. That's about the extent of high school for most of us. College challenges you spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically. You will get used to it after awhile. To find your core group of friends in high school took sometime and that will stand true in college. Go out, have fun, stay true to yourself and friends/new memories will come. Everyone couldn't wait to be out of high school, now many of us miss it. Trust me. It takes time to find your niche in college, or whatever you do after that. It will get better. Have faith.

Answer 5

Not sure cause I am in high school 10th grade but I think I would feel the same way if I was in college. I would suggest just going and visiting your old friends in your free time that may help you.

Answer 6

yeah, i do miss high school...

when in high school, all i wanted was to get out of it and go into uni..

once in uni, i really really wished to go back to high school...



now i'm about to enter the working world,

part of me still wishes to go back to high school...



it's life.

we're never satisfied...

...and we have to move on.

don't let the memories always put u back to the past,

but let it push you towards the future...

both the good and the bad
