Awwwwww , why, when it's such fun

Nah, I promise, I'll be good

little sis...

I'd probably miss the fact that it would be possible to actually get A's in secondary school whereas in college l may be struggling to pass.
I'd miss being spoon fed by teachers as well which is definitely not the case in college.
However I can't wait for change, responsibility, independence :rolleyes:

I guess leaving secondary school would be bittersweet.

I finished secondary school this year and I'm in my first year of college. I'm glad to have escaped the small town that I lived in where everyone knew everyone and their business.

I have to say that I don't miss spending hours at maths homework only trying to pass the ordinary level paper (I did!), or chanting Irish Aistes although my Dad's commentary on the whole thing was quite amusing. I only miss my friends and a couple of teachers, I miss the care free evenings I spent with friends just messing around not doing after school study, and I miss the sense of community. I don't miss wearing a uniform which consisted of a skirt, shirt and a thin jumper in winter, or not being allowed to question anything and just being told to "learn it off" by a stern voiced teacher.

So I guess there are elements of secondary school that I'll miss, and others that I'm glad to be rid of.

After a month in college, secondary school will seem like a hundred years ago. And that's just how it should be. Good luck all.

I miss school from time to time, I got on really well with my year and the year below me and it was good craic. College is really so much better though. It's a nice change from the retardation of many people found secondary school.

I miss school, but only because it was easier to excel in and the teachers were nice. You're a bit of a stranger in college, but I already have tutors who know me and like me. :P

Anyone who says the LC is easier than college is wrong. In theory it really is (being spoonfed information over a 2 year period where you know exactly what may be asked and cannot be deviated from is something taken for granted!), but the stress of knowing that failure means doing it ALL again, and having to do subjects you don't like, and knowing 2 years of information all for one final day, and the joke of a timetable...you get the picture - college is easier in some ways.

I don't not miss secondary school, but I certainly wouldn't go back, ever!

I'll definitely miss some of the teachers that were beyond nice :') Plus, the friendships. I'm so used to going to school in the morning and meeting friends at the same spot in the school every day, where-as college will be totally different. Not to mention, most of my close friends seem to be going to Galway so the idea of being alone in Dublin is actually quite scary! :O Oh-well, new friendships are to be made of course!

I won't miss the drama, and the constant 'he said, she said' crap that goes on.. in my school, anyway.

I guess I'll miss it..but at the same time the prospects of college life seem way more fun haha

I missed it for about a week, then I stopped missing it, changed my CAO to take arts off it as I no longer wanted to do teaching and now am in Actuary.
Graduation goggles soon wear off.

You always miss it a little inside.

Personally, I was never happy in secondary school and as I'm in 6th year now I can't wait to be done with it all.
But I will miss the whole safety of it though, I know exactly what I need to do in secondary and don't really go beyond that and still get decent grades. So, the prospect of college where that just won't cut it is slightly terrifying but at the end of the day I will be glad to see that back of spending hours on subjects I hate.
For me, it's a bit of a grey area..
