Current Events > Best years for you: Junior high, high, or college?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Junior high was my peak time gaming, early junior year in high school was one of my best times in life, but I'd say that college on a whole was the best. I loved having 2-3 hours between classes most of the time and having Wednesdays off.

It was also when I found out about CE, when Youtube first launched (I think I found out about it a few months after launch), and Facebook started becoming more popular. Also found out about Wikipedia. The internet was pretty exciting during that time in the mid to late 2000s.

This.

Middle school was awful. High School was good (I had a lot of good friends). College was when I actually picked up some damn social skills.
---

high school, specifically my senior year. i had a tight group of friends and we hung out basically every day, did lots of fun stuff, i had a little band i played in, got my first car, etc

junior high was an awkward time that i wasted playing video games all day & college was overwhelmingly boring and was a slog to get through
---

That's what I miss about high school, it seemed easier to make friends and interact with a wide variety of people. That was more difficult in college for me for some reason.
---

Middle school was not cute
High school was closeted and lonely
College gave me an opportunity to start over
---

High school. All I did was drink & smoke on weekends playing the cool guy then on weekdays Id game and listen to music channeling my introvert side until others got out of school to smoke and play sports/bike or graffiti. Life was all fun with no downside for me. I had 0 responsibility.
---

none of the above
---

In High right now but def better than junior high I guess
---

bump
---

college because i dont have to be at school for 8 hours a day
---

Other. I have the best time after college. I always got along and had many friends throughout school, but I didnt always make the best of it. Same goes for college, except I didnt know as many people and wasnt there as long.

I also remember having a good year in 7th grade. 11th and 12th grade were not fun for me.
---

Never went to college, so I'll go with High school because middle school kind of like sucked.
---

College easily. Sex, drugs and rock n roll baby.
---

Probably College but Sr Year in High School def had it's moments
---

High school.

I was in uni for a total of a year at 2 different universities and was basically nothing.
Now I'm 24 and am still basically nothing, so. Whoo.
---

College...it was depressing but I love the freedom.
---

Summer out of high school was pretty great.
---

All of them had some good aspects, but high school was the worst. Unnecessary amount of work that you don't give a shit about plus personally I made very few friends.

Lots of other bullshit too that you don't see in elementary, junior or college.
---

Got bullied in middle school.
Had a great time in high school.
I hate university with a passion, but maybe it'll get better if I change my attitude about things.
---

The last two years of high school and the first two years of college.

I don't think I'll ever manage to have that "fun vs. responsibilities" ratio in my life again, and it's kind of sad.

My 30s have been pretty awesome so far. College was a lot of fun, but I was a poor student. I prefer to have money.

Having disposable income is nice, but I honestly would rather go back to being broke and having my biggest decisions be which character to play in the dorm Tekken 3 tournament and how to convince Ashley from Chi Omega to come over and give me head.

Out of the education options

Overall my 30s have been great
---

None of those. I had some fun moments in school but probably the best part of my life so far was working at a movie theater. The job blew, but I met tons of amazing people, met my long-term girlfriend through a co-worker there, and probably the period of my life where I had the most growth as a person.

College > High school >>>>>> Middle school

College I had higher highs, but also lower lows.
All of 9th grade and 12th grade post-college acceptance were amazing, everything in-between was tedious.
Middle school was awful. Everyone was a hormonal little shit, especially me

Does my current life of full gainful employment fall under "other," or is this topic solely dedicated to academic options, i.e. grad school or med school or w/e

If the former, then definitely other. Being employed and living alone is one of the greatest things I've accomplished.

If the latter, I'm torn. I had better friends in high school but the work was harder, whereas my college friends were a bunch of alcoholic shitheads with whom I lost touch as soon as I moved out, but the work was actually a lot easier (private college prep high school FML but hey i guess it paid off)

I'd probably vote college because the work was a lot easier and my lack of a social life was offset by the relative ease of the schoolwork.

College>Middle school>High school
---

my life has generally gotten better with age
middle school I played video games nonstop with a ton of friends
high school I started being successful with girls and was homecoming king
college I literally went to class MWF and had TR and the weekend off. had enough scholarships to cover tuition and rent so any jobs I had was for "fun" money -- almost always partying and hanging out with friends
now i'm married and have a successful job, although I am considering leaving. I have plenty of money to do what I want and save a bunch
---

2012-2014 were my best years I think
---

High school overall, but college has sent the biggest highs and lowest lows
---

College because since I paid for it, my stepdad wouldn't constantly be trying to find something I didn't do.
---

All three of them had their ups and downs

But 2011-2014 (high school into college) were some of my favorite years
---

junior high/high school, absolutely
---

I feel bad for anyone who doesnt say college
