High School was meh for me.. college was better cause I dormed the first 2 years I went. Nothing beats having your friends just within walking distance. I'd love going to lunch together and it was like the equivalent of being the popular kid in HS, basically you end up forming your little group of friends. You'll find people with similar interests and have the best time. Sucks you actually have to study haha but yea. Dont get me wrong, there will be drama, people who wont like you, or times you'll feel depressed, also unless you come from a well set off family, expect to work. Overall college was better than High School, I wasn't picked on per say but was treated differently for being the nerd and ate alone most times looking at the popular kids table which consisted of mostly the jocks and there was this group of girls called the fab 4. I went to private school which helped with not getting bullied.
