My graduation was like most of school: I sat for a long time and waited to leave(speeches lasted 3 hours....).
The longest part of my education is now complete....... do I have something long, drawn out, witty or insightfull to say?
Not really......
It was "eh" *shrug*-not terrible but in my of course EVER so humble opinion, MOST of it was a complete waste of time, for me at least, as I would say I learned ROUGHLY 75% of the material out of school...... I wont be egotistical, but for the MOST PART, the only class which taught me anything I didnt know, was my math classes, and programming classes.......
English, science, social sciences, "economic" electives..... all fairly basic stuff, even in the honors classes-total waste of time, actually I need to amend that statement, I learned things I didnt know in my Chemistry class, granted it was utterly useless stuff only someone going into that field would need to know, but I still learned it, LOL!
It's kinda sad really, how all that time was waisted........ there should be equvency tests in all subjects so you dont have to take them if you do well.
If nothign else I've come to one conclusion after high school: It wasent that bad, mostly just a long drawn out boring wait.

Congtulations Vesayen,
Don't think college is going to be nearly so dull...
Seems like the school education didn't stretch you... don't worry, it gets tougher... and more worthwhile!

I wouldn't say it was a complete waste of time. I didn't take the full experience, I enjoyed near by cafeteria too much, skipping classes.. but I always managed to get through exams no problem. I did study to them at home though, so it's not like I knew the answers because I was so smart. I studied for those. I partied too much, yes it is possible. If there was a party, I was there, and I was drunk. But it was socially good school, and I did learn some things too. Maybe it could have been a year of intensive studies instead of 3 years of.. slow studies.
I'm kind of glad I had to go to the army right after that, it really straightened me out for good. I hate that lazy bastard who I used to be before that. Man talking about irresponsible little **** who thought was something he wasn't. Time well spent there.
I'm glad now, that I didn't get right into the Uni I wanted.. I was too immature, I would have been drunk all the time. Not to say I wouldn't party, but back then.. I wouldn't of have passed many of the tougher exams and the worse part.. I think I wouldn't have cared about it either. Now I do  .
Anyway! Back to YOU! Congrats!

uh oh, no natural sciences for me, I can do it in theory, but it's to ostressful and eats up my mind after some time... so I've decided to go for social sciences, either politics or history or both in a mix

Most people look back on their high school days with fondness. Never again will you have so much free time and so few responsibilities. "The best days of your life" is the cliche, and like all cliches there's more than a little truth to it.
Don't be so quick to knock all the "useless" classes you had to take. You can't really know what you're going to be doing 10, 15 or 20 years down the road.
In America, high school is the last freebie you get. You've been pampered, hand-held and supported from birth to graduation. From now on, people will only part with their knowledge for money. No more free rides. I, for one, wish I had paid attention more in some of those "boring" classes.

. English was semi useful fershmen year, but was a complete waste after that. History and geography was a waste of time... like Ves says, 75% was already known to me. Thank god for my math classes tho. I actually did learn a lot in those, adn I even wich I was given more instruction in Algebra in my early years, as I never built a solid foundation in algebra (which is absolutely essential to higher math) until much later, making things more difficult for me. tBut, overall, the school curriculums are largely ineffiecient. My public high school WAS ONE OF THE TOP RANKED IN THE COUNTRY, and it suffered from inefficiency... just immagine how some of the worst do...t he American public school system needs to address its chronoic ineffeciencies before real problems arouse.
. who knows what they could have accomplished
