What was your senior year of high school like?

[JKidd]

A cake walk. The only reason I even had a senior year, was to play sports. Otherwise, I could have been done with school after my junior year.

I had late arrival every quarter, and early release, so I was at school maybe 4 hours a day for two classes and a lunch period.

My class scheduled seen me only leave the gym or weight room twice all year long (for AP Calc and Macro-Econ). The rest of my classes were gym classes and sports performance weight lifting.

All I remember is Custer and his crew got wiped out by some Indians.....

I live in a small town (3 square miles) that has two high schools. Gloucester High (where i went) and Gloucester Catholic (which is in the news right now for a janitor installing spy cams, and their baseball team finished number 1 in the nation a few times). The catholic school got kids from all over southern jersey. So most of high school, was just two groups of high schools hanging out partying and tailgating sports games together. Obviously there were big rivals in sports. The annual thanksgiving game between the two teams has been going on for over 100 yrs. But for the most part we all hung out together, which was cool because you meet and became friends with people from all over South Jersey - can never have to many connections. So you can imagine the amounts of people we would have if we went to tailgate a concert and the tweeter center in Camden, NJ or A Philly sports team game over in Philly (Gloucester City is directly across the Delaware River from South Philadelphia) The Walt Whitman bridge connects my city and Philadelphia, so we did a lot of tailgating. There was a point where we would go over with 25-30 people a few times a week, just to drink in the parking lot.

Most of the time in class, I would spend programming my universal remote to mess with all the TVs or keep turning off a crappy movie we were forced to watch.

My senior year was pretty average, nothing special. I was a solid student all through school. Not top notch, but usually atleast Honor Roll (3.0 gpa I believe). I always like high school, had a ton of fun. I stayed out of trouble so I could stay eligible for sports (hockey & football). Once I got accepted to Penn State I did let up quite a bit. I still showed up, but my taking school seriously fell off after that. I knew I would graduate, that I was accepted to school, and the sports seasons were over. I just went with the flow. I picked up the partying a bit, but nothing too much. I think if you set youself up correctly from your freshman-junior year, you can usually have a pretty stress free senior year and relax a bit, just don't screw it up. I think the most difficult time was testing and applying to colleges and what not.

Pretty bland.

Partied lots. Drank lots during school/ in school. I didn't need many credits so I did what I wanted.

I come from a really small town so unless you partied in other towns, you didn't meet a lot of new people. Graduated and moved out a month later.

One of the funny things we used to do in my english class...If you remember those old Macs (the ones with the tube monitor that came in a variety of colors about 2001-2002 time frame)...anyway, they came with a program called 'Simple Text' I believe, where you would type something and then it would say it out loud in a voice you picked. We'd type a bunch of profanity, sexual terms and what not and turn the monitors off and have it randomly timed to start sometime in the middle of the class. The teacher would flip out, (she was actually friends with my buddies mom). She eventually took the keyboards so we couldn't do it. Luckily one day we found where she hid them, hooked one up and must have type 2-3 pages worth of ****, removed the keyboards and then rearranged keys on all of them and put them back. She'd be in the front of the class room lecturing and all of a sudden you'd hear, "**** **** bitch cock balls lick my ***** **** my ass" and all sorts of stuff go on. She couldn't figure out how to turn it off and it went on for about 10 minutes. Pretty juvenile/immature/lame as I look back now, but I remember I was in tears from laughing so hard.

From about halfway through the year I knew I had a job lined up at the end of school which I didnt need any grades for and the school knew that as well so they just sort of left me to do my own thing. I finished with a 65% attendence still came out with B,C,C and a D from my A-levels

Well after "dropping out" a few times, I ended up at a continuation school (place for degenerates and pregnant girls) late Junior year. But you could earn a credit at a time there at your own pace and Fridays were optional, and if you showed up on a Friday some teachers would hand out credits like candy. So going in to Senior year I had actually caught up on my credits. BUT...

I just went in to full blown slacker mode. Drunk 3 or 4 times a week. Stopped going Fridays. Etc. etc.

Still was doing enough to get by in most classes but halfway through the year my English teacher thought she was Mr. Escalante or something and could make a difference in our lives; I turned in a short story assignment and was told "it was the best one I've read today but I know you can do better. Please do a rewrite." So, I clarified and asked if mine was better than the guy before me? She said yes. Asked if he had to rewrite his? No. But I have to rewrite mine? Yes. Never lifted a pencil in there again, and was a smartass jerkoff teenager to her the rest of the year and got kicked out of class everyday.

She was the only English teacher. So knowing I wasn't graduating that year, I slacked off more in every class.

The next year for my second Senior year I had home studies based out of the same school and got a teacher that liked me. Senile old lady. Graduated in 2months. Had to wait until years end for my diploma though.

But outside of academics, Senior year was a swell time. My friends and I had a nonstop good time. And the social makeup of the smaller continuation school was much more diverse yet small and friendly than a regular HS. Dorky NickDoh and his punk rock friends hanging out with gangsters, cholos and "lesbians". The whole school would party together on occasion, and all got along besides when Blacks and Mexicans were at war or whatever dumb ****. It was fun. Booze, no responsibilities, school that didn't care. Wouldn't do it different.

To be honest I don't remember much about my senior year, not even what classes I took.

Our high school parking lot was tiny though and what I do remember is battling and scheming every single day to find somewhere to park my car. The superintendent or groundskeeper or some **** of my school somehow had received authority from the local PD to write parking tickets in our school's lot and I remember absolutely flipping out on him one time in the parking lot. I was steaming and apparently I was still swearing at him when I walked back into the school, which wasn't good since the main office was right by the entrance and the school principal JUST HAPPENED to be entering it. Yeah I was a badass.

What's a cholo? Some kind of Mexican dish?

Man Nickdoh, you've had an interesting life. I've been to LA twice and I still don't understand the place.

Haha, cholo is just slang for a Mexican gangster type, my life isn't as exciting as it sounds, and besides hockey games I've probably only been to LA twice too! Never lived there. Heck, I'm not even in California anymore.

I loved high school. Senior year I did a lot of immature stunts..but that's not saying much because I still do a lot of the same ****.

- Had to clean campus to discharge the threat to not walk at graduation for my streaking incident.
- Got banned from going to football games because I kept crowd surfing.
- Drank any type of alcohol for the first time at Senior Prom.
- Broke two fingers during wrestling practice.
- Wrestled and T-bagged a black chick.
- After wrestling practice, would walk by the girls volleyball team and girls basketball team (not into black chicks, but they always gave a good reaction) in my towel.
- Tried to hook up with two sisters, ended up dating the younger more attractive one.

I think I've told some of these before on here, or at least on chat.

Pretty uneventful, I enjoyed grade 10/11 a lot more, less stressful.

All I really cared about was sports, our hockey team completed a back-to-back championship which was definitely the highlight, did track and field, soccer, wrestling, got my usual 70%ish marks and graduated. As far as girls go I was pretty much with 1 chick all year, a 6-7 FWB type deal, not an actual relationship. It was pretty cool at the time, but looking back (I know everyone thinks like this) I probably should have expanded my horizon.

Class of 2012

Uneventful. I didn't have any more mandatory classes to take so it was chill. Figured out where I wanted to go to college (local). I didn't do anything crazy that's for sure. Looking back, I could have done much more before graduating. O well, college I start fresh.
