Once a bulldog, always a bulldog.

High school is like an emotional rollercoaster. It is the time of your lives where you want to enjoy every little opportunity, but at the same time, you are trying to figure out how to fit in. But like most people, if I knew what I do now, my high school experience would be completely different. In my opinion, I think a little bit of the fun part in high school is not knowing what to expect, and just learning from your experiences.

The high school experience is always going to be different for everyone; some high school graduates say “I loved high school” or “I hated high school.”

To the people who said, “I loved high school.”

You say you loved high school because your social life was “poppin,” you were in a few clubs, maybe an athlete, or when people said “Do you know Brian, the basketball player?” you knew they were talking about you. Another reason why you may have loved it is because it was an academic breeze; your grades were always above average.

To the people who said, “I hated high school.”

Most of you hated it, because of the lack of social life, your peers were slightly bullies, your grades were average, the cafeteria food or social life.

Word of advice.

Do not worry; your college experience will be ten times better. Of course, there are going to be rude people or teachers wherever you go, but it’s up to you to weed out the bad to get to the good and most importantly, do not let them get to you. Most of the people that come in with you during your first year will be gone the next year (due to a number of reasons). There are more opportunities in college to meet new people from different majors and classifications; whether it is through organizations, clubs, sports or even in class.

Just remember that after high school there is something even greater in store for you. Whether your high school experience was positive or negative, just remember that after you walk across that graduation stage, “Once a bulldog, always a bulldog.”
