Life as a Student

Believe it or not, students nowadays, especially those who belong in the elementary and high school levels, would rather do something else besides attend school. In fact, most students from my Twitter timeline only take time "tweeting" just to rant about how school is literally taking over their lives. Stacking homeworks, endless exams, terror teachers - why do these things have to make our lives miserable? There are two major timelines a student would remember all his life - mainly high school and college. As much as students hate school, I'm positive that by the time they graduate to engage in this challenging world, they would've said something about missing the good ol' days, well, at least from my experience. What could be those ol' days they mostly refer to - high school or college?

High school is mostly rendered as the preparatory level for college. Its teachers will mostly give research homeworks with full guidance unlike college ones, now called professors, will not mind a student's means of performing, but rather care only about his/her outputs. The student count in high school is obviously fewer than that of a college. College can be a mini-version of the world, while high school, a bigger version of a family. In terms of physical size, there's no doubt collegiate schools outsize most high schools out there. When taking college, students must choose a particular course in which they strive to be professional in. High school merely offers the same basic subjects for everyone. Now, I'm only taking my first year in college. Fortunately, making new friends came very smoothly for me. I can foretell that, in time, the intimacy I once had with my friends during my time as a high school student can also be achieved with the new friends I acquired from college despite the shorter time to be allotted. To conclude, I guess different judgments will come from diversed students. Some may say high school provided more joy and excitement while others may think college life is the real thing.
