Default Poll: For the Grads, do you miss school?

While I've only been out of school for about 4 years I have no inclination to go back quite yet to do any studying. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the freedom of being a student, just didn't enjoy the income. Also everytime I walk into a Timmies and there's students cramming for an exam, I'm definitely not envious.

So the question is. Do you miss school?

I miss seeing my friends from school regularly; we barely keep contact now, lives heading in vastly different directions.

I also got along well with a few teachers, and the facilities were first rate; that's been something I really miss. In spite of all of the negatives, it was a good experience.

Yup you need a middle option for the "school, hell no. the daily socializing with friends, hell yes".
Honest folks, all the mouth-talk about always keeping in touch after school just dies out within a few years. Screw learning stuff, but cherish the friendships and good times.

highschool was boring... but university was the best 4 years of my life. I'd go back and do it all over again in a second.

I disagree.
Highschool was the best five years of my life, whereas in university all I've been able to do is study, not a terrible amount of fun. Thank God for co op.

I enjoyed the social aspect of University, had a lot of fun met lots of great people, but like others have stated as soon as school ended we pretty much drifted. I only keep in contact regularly with one of my University friends, the others I see online on MSN or ICQ.
