I love being a university student, it really is so much better than being a school student. When I was graduating and in the process of leaving school, I was so emotional and distraught about leaving. I felt for sure that I would be one of those people who hates uni and makes no friends and is forever left thinking about the good old days of high school. But that isn't what happened. I started uni, and I loved it. The first two days I was a bit of a loner, but then I met people, and then more and more people. I love the feeling of studying and working towards a career I actually really want. I love that everyone else around me wants to be there. I love that ALL of my lecturers and tutors are industry professionals who are currently working in their chosen industry profession. Unlike the other more "prestigious" universities where the lecturers are all academics and have limited real world experience in that profession. I love that I can wear whatever I want and I only have 3 days at uni. I love it. So I really haven't missed school that much in all honesty. I've missed some of the people for sure, but that's all.
So today when I attended the Easter service at school, I was shocked with how emotional I felt. I missed that silly place. I missed having that completely Christian and safe environment. I missed chapels. I missed having a structure to my day that was set by a bell signal. I missed not having to worry about my wardrobe. I missed those special people that I was able to form relationships with, from a variety of grades. I missed my teachers! I really really do. I loved being back, I really do miss it.
All I can say is, no matter how exciting and fun the real world is, nothing will ever be the same as high school. Nothing ever.
Until next time fellow humans....
I don't want to forget.
