I did not go to the prom and I had absolutely no desire to. I thought the whole thing was wayyyyyyy lame and despite being pressured by friends to go, I kept saying, I can't stand like 98% of the p...

DITTO! nobody in school gave a rat's butt about me, so why would I want to spend money to go hang out with them for a night. I just think high school is the lamest thing on earth, and after you graduate, you realize even more so how truly lame it is. The saddest thing is when you run into kids who were really popular in highschool 5 years after graduation working at blockbuster or the gas station, and just going absolutely nowhere in life. prom is lame!!

haha isn't it great tho, to see like the "best looking" person from high school looking fat and greasy. I love it.

That just happened to me!!!! I ran into a couple of kids from high school, looking all sorts of gross.....they were they "pretty people" in high school. I felt happy...is that wrong?

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

No. Haha. It's the same type of feeling as when a famous person says "i was a geek in high school" and you feel happy (sometimes) because high school really means nothing..... anyway it's always good to see arrogant people fall.... and the lowly rise

Yeah.....I was in Walgreens last week, and saw this guy I went to high school with. He was really good looking, but really cocky, and he was mean to girls he thought were "beneath" him (including me). He was always saying he was going to become a big important somebody, and make millions each year. He graduated 2 years before me, so I hadn't seen him since. I saw him Friday, and he was WORKING at Walgreens. Now, I'm not making fun of that job by any means...hey, you gotta do what you gotta do...I've had MUCH worse jobs. BUt it was just funny to see him do that, and before, he was saying he was going to be "somebody." I bet that job is pretty humbling for him. To me, it doesn't matter what you do for a living (to an extent....I'm not saying you gotta strip or sell drugs), but just don't be cocky. A good job doesn't make one person better than the next.

yeah i totally agree, haha that's funny. Hahahaha I'm trying to think of like a witty thing you "coulda" said to him but I'm blank at the moment. And I prolly wouldn't say anything either just laugh on the inside.

"WOW YOU ARE REALLY SOMEBODY WEEEEEEEEEEEEE WORKIN AT THE WALGREEEENSS!!!!"

i duno haha

Yeah.....I wanted to say, "Wow....Steve....Walgreens, huh? How's that college degree workin' out for ya?"

That would have been mean, though, and I'm not really a mean-spirited person, so I didn't say anything.

maybe he used that degree to become manager of the shaving cream department, you never know.

I would love it if my no-degree self could one day be the boss of a high school scholarship/degree boasting jerk from the past. Haha. Boss him or her around and stuff. Would be nice. I'd have to get a job at the mall to do that tho, seems like that's where all the college grads go these days...
