you, Anonymous? did you just circle you?

no, it's me.

That's how I spent High School.

>>1661266
same

>>1661266
looks about right

Except that guy is just tired and no one talked to you people because you give off an undesirable air.

>>1661266
Same.
I was always reading or pretending to be asleep. Good times.

>>1661277
Also, nobody talked to me because I was asleep.

I spent the first 2 years of high school like that as a side effect of the medication my parents forced me to take

>>1661278
Pretending? I really was always asleep. People literally just stopped even acknowledging my existence. By my senior year I would literally sleep about 3.5-4 hours of the actual schoolday.

Well, that's me in college right now.

I'm the guy in the back there between the two girls in the foreground.
The one staring blankly at his desk, possibly writing, possibly drawing, but more than likely doing nothing but staring.

That was me.

I am the teacher.

Whoa, nice pic of me sleeping.

>>1661301
Well, I could never actually manage to fall asleep. Those desks weren't exactly comfortable.

I'm the tiny sama wrapped up in curtains in the back.

That's how I spent main language classes in HS.
Our teacher had great talent in making them mind numbingly boring.

I usually just shut down to the world
I wasn't asleep but i couldn't remember anything afterwords

I used to fall asleep with my eyes open every 10 minutes. And I used to sit in the front bench.

I did the same in the breaks. Now I do this in the classes.

>>1661358
It's called "daydreaming." You aren't a shark, people can't sleep with their eyes open.

>>1661370
Moralfag.

i had friend in high school, but now i am lonely, they all went their separate ways and i'm just here, so ronery

>>1661340
Wow, I didn't even notice that guy till you mentioned it.

>>1661370
Yes they can.

>>1661407

no

>>1661390
Story of my highschool life ;_;

I was actually popular in high school, out of necessity and pressure mind you. Nobody was aware that I was a horrid misanthrope until graduation. Thankfully that charade is over.

http://www.google.com/search?q=sleeping+%22eyes+open%22
Not wide open, really. Just partially.

>>1661328
School desks are more comfortable than three mattresses stacked on top of one another.

>>1661370
>>1661419
Yes they fucking can. Else, you can suck my dick cause I'm a shark.

Got back from a restaurant an hour or so ago.

Still feel like shit, but rather inebriated shit.

>>1661340
The who of what?

Ah, pretending to be asleep. That's gotten me out of plenty of sticky situations.

>>1661462
Cool blog post bro!

I'm the guy stretching his arm out. Stretching is pretty much the only thing that keeps me awake in class.

I'm the guy preparing to jump out of the window.

>>1661615
Wow. You're pretty hardcore, bro.

I'm the guy by the window on the far right, tensing my leg muscles for a nice jump into the 2D world

>>1661615
>>1661627
There can be only one.

>>1661627
Whoa. That's hella hardcore, man.

>>1661652
For the average /jp/ user yes, yes it is.

That picture brought up many painful memories and made me incredibly sad. Is that normal?

>>1661340

>>1661635

>>1661635
"Don't look at me, I'm just scenery."

>>1661652

Yes, I too remember what it was like to be a japanese schoolgirl, turning around in my seat and talking loudly without a care in the world.

i did this in as many classes as i could

including piano (i would just rest on the keyboard, good thing i played rhythm games so i could actually keep a beat and play better than everyone else in that class- if i didn't i would have failed)

i was the only kid without a partner in that class

It's a wonderful /jp/ life ;_;

This reminds me of the dreaded group activities we had occasionally. "Okay, everyone find a partner!"

;_;

>>1661733
just thinking about this makes me cringe

hey that me in high school

>>1661733
ahhh fuck, bad memories of seminar groups flooding back.

Get yourselves into groups of 4!

Oh wow, everyone here seems to be a loser, I never considered myself popular in school, but I had severals friends that I would talk to during class. University is a different story.

That was how I spent all of my time in every AP science class since they were two periods long and every teacher had a knack for making science, something that should be fun, more boring than any math class.

People always acknowledged me though, everyone knew my name despite never going to any social events, I think it was because I was in the chorus and I am handsome, despite hating what comes with having those two qualities. Yay, I get to break the hearts of a few stupid girls and still feel lonely, go me, life rocks.

>>1661761
They are trying to fit in with /jp/ and not be called "normalfags"

YEAH GUYS I HAD NO FRIENDS EITHER.

>>1661733
They still do this shit in some of my college classes so I still have to suffer through those moments and live in constant fear of when they might happen.

>>1661733
NOOOOO

I never went to sleep in classes either. Those desks were quite uncomfortable. Instead, I went "exploring" and traveled randomly throughout the school. Sometimes I would map out all of the security cameras for fun.

This reminds me of the time I had to walk in front of the entire class with a huge boner. Damn my physics partner and her tiny skirt.

>>1661779
How did you cover it up?

sauce

>>1661761
A had a few friends as well, but most of them were in the grade below me so I didn't have classes with them. I only had one friend in my grade and I only had maybe one class with him each year.

>>1661733

I royally hated that too. That was part of the reason I got out of education and went for a strait geology degree.

>>1661768
Yeah, man, seriously. I mean, I was never ronery. I had tons of friends! Still do!

;_;

Here I am.

have yourself a good time, it's nothing at all....

it's nothing at all.....


nothing at all.

>>1661761
right, when did "sleeping in class" equate to "no friends"?

let's go down the waterfall....

this is more me than I am.

let's go down the waterfall....


never look back,

never look back....


please, never look back anon.

>>1661791
you are a trap?

>>1661761
I had a few friends in high school but they were only in some of my classes so I still spent most of my time alone. Then I moved away for college and now I really don't have any friends.

>>1661733
damn it, me too. ;_;

>>1661753

This really is my only gripe with University, fucking laboratory assignments and tutorials. Fuck, I'm not interested in working in a group. No, I don't care if it "enriches my learning experience", fuck off.

>>1661733
Fuuuuuck! During one of my high school years I had this ugly retarded girl in my science class. Everyone used to make fun of her because she was fat and she smelled bad and no one was sure why she even was in out class. Well, during group activities she almost always was my partner, and people used to be like "oh look, those two are together again". ;_;

>>1661733
Let's try this again. This time with proof reading.

I always hated that too. It was one of the reasons I switched from an education degree to a straight geology degree. Group work is one of the current popular farces in education and I'm not about to make somebody else suffer for snake oil.

>>1661733
Hahahah... Always the one without the partner. Then when next to someone it's always "I don't want to be with him I want to be with [insert friend's name]..." ending up having that person forced to be with you. God i just loved partner activities and how much they made me want to kill myself every single time.

>>1661733
>>1661819
This oh god this

I thought I'd be done with fucking awkward group assignments after high school.

>>1661819

what uni are you at?

>>1661784
not very well. I was sitting in the front of the room and she walks in wearing a miniskirt and sits down in the back. the teacher tells me I have to go sit with my lab partner, so I end up shuffling across the room holding my textbook in front of my crotch. no one said anything but I know they were all secretly laughing.

>>1661811
Hello there. You must be me.

i'm the opposite of most; had no friends in high school, met a shit ton of people in college.

you guys need to take a Japanese class and be chummy with the foreign exchange students who come from Japan to teach. those girls are so easy to befriend it's not even funny.

>>1661858
I had friends in highschool and have met literally one person i've spoken to outside of class in 3+ years of University. It's true that I talked to more people in my Japanese class than average, but only because it had 30 people as opposed to 100 or so.

FUCK GROUP PROJECTS FFFF
It's not like I'm socially incompetent, everyone's just INTELLECTUALLY INCOMPETENT, and I end up doing all the work because if I let anybody else do it, we'll all fucking fail.
Though to be honest, that shit is truly preparing me for the real world of office slavery. Doing shit because nobody else can and sharing the credit with everyone else, fuck yeah! (ffffffffffffff)

>>1661847

University of Toronto.
Shitty commuter school, makes up for it with old buildings and a huge faculty.

>>1661856
did she have a boyfriend?

>>1661867
This. Happening to me right now with an assignment due this weekend.

I just skipped class again. I'm pretty sure I've failed that class and another. I don't do any of my work, instead I play the vidya, watch animu, and oddly enough study Japanese (I do not have a Japanese class, nor is one offered in my community college). I just can't bring myself to do the work;_;

>>1661879

Anonymous, you're superiority complex may be getting in the way of you're fun.

>>1661870
yeah but that didn't stop me from looking up her skirt/down her shirt at every chance I had

>>1661888

What I meant was, "...your superiority complex..."

>>1661892
what was her boyfriend like?

>>1661888
>>1661893
and "your fun".

>>1661856
Everyday of my life in middle school. I remember getting a boner on my bus in the morning and having to walk down that aisle. I would do my best to hide it with my binder and when I thought no one was looking I would put the head behind the elastic part of my boxers so it wouldn't stick out, then when it softened up it would just feel really uncomfortable and I'd have to use my hands to push it down again.

I'm just glad it takes a loli to get it up for me these days.

>>1661893
>>1661908
your an idiot for getting those wrong

>>1661884

Don't give up until the end. Depending on what you have missed (is it just class? homework? tests?) you might be able to pull off a C before the end. Just because you don't think you can get the points needed at this point in the game, doesn't mean the instructor won't magically make them appear when they turn it their grades.

>>1661917

hurr

>>1661917
>your an idiot
>your

>>1661915
Rarely happened to be in public as 3D doesn't do anything for me unless it's prolonged physical contact. Same hiding strategy applies and fuck you for giving me that visual.

group projects were the only time i talked to people in my class. I was surrounded by preps and my friends were always taking the same class, just a different hour.

>>1661927
In my speech class I've skipped every speech and now I don't bother going anymore. In the class I skipped tonnight, I've only done about half of the things I was supposed to do but on the first day she mentioned something like we had to do 80% of our out of class work or we couldn't pass.

>>1661884
change your major, thats what i did

Or become a girl.

Penis balls vagina.

hey, is it true that in the USA some girls sleep with professors to get higher marks?

So to all the people who slept and skipped class, where are you now? in a community college? Are you doing successful?

I'm just curious because I'm going down the same road and I want to see what will most likely become of me.

>>1661947
Your reproductive organs aren't welcome here.

>>1661942

Never mind then; Christmas break is starting early this year then. Your other option, which isn't going to be fun, is to approach the instructor and ask if they would still accept the work for reduced credit. If they say yes, do it faggot. If they say no, nothing lost.

>>1661951
Stop that.

>>1661952

Graduate school for my M.S.

I am genuinely interested in this particular question, I have seen pornography on the matter and wish to know whether art imitates life.

>>1661952
Fucking skip high school if you can. Just get your GED or whatever. High school is the biggest waste of time on earth. Community college is fine, you get all your bullshit general education classes done for a fraction of the price of a "real" school. They usually give priority to community college transfer students, too.

I've only had one group activity so far and we just had to interview the person next to us. What she didn't tell us until afterwards was that we had to read that information when we were finished, which was really shitty for me because I lied a lot and put some RANDUM XD things on there.

I fucking hate that class, we have to take turns reading out of the book as well. Funny thing is, when she makes us do that the only thing going through my mind is 'where are we and when is my turn I don't want to screw up and talk early or anything' and of course I pay no attention to what we're supposed to be reading.

>>1661952
Currently NEET. I haven't done anything productive since I graduated high school. I am, however, qualified for a HOPE scholarship which will pay my entire tuition whenever I do decide to pursue some type of secondary education. Hooray Georgia. I slept a lot, but I was able to make good grades anyway. If you can do that then you're probably fine.

>>1661960
Again, stop that.

>>1661962
That's stupid. A GED does not compare with a high school diploma.

>>1661960
Yes, it happens. The degree to which it happens is unknown, but it's probably uncommon.

>>1661952
Went to community college, transferred after one year due to my good AP scores (failed the actual class because I didn't turn in any homework, passed the test, lolwut), currently finishing up my BA in Japanese.

>>1661952
Guy who sleeps in the first bench here. I never really skipped classes, and I did fairly well actually. Got a B.Tech. degree in Electrical Engineering, and now I'm just slumming at home because I can't seem to find any fucking jobs.
I'll try an M.S. next year.
Saging myself for blog.

>>1661952
I didn't sleep during class, I slept between periods.

>>1661969
Do you think anybody fucking cares if you finished actual high school or not if you graduate college?

>>1661960
You don't need to make this thread any worse than it already is.

>>1661951
Do they do it in the UK? I don't see why it would be any different in the US. There are whores everywhere so I'm sure it happens occasionally.

>>1661946
They're both required classes for pretty much all majors.
>>1661952
If you're asking about high school, I slept a lot, never did my homework, and hardly graduated. Now I'm in community college skipping and failing classes; I only went in the first place because my parents told me I either had to go to college, get a job, or I'm kicked out. I thought college was the easier choice so I took it.

>>1661977
Ah, I didn't exactly register your entire post. For some reason, the college part didn't connect with me. If it's done that way, then it should be fine. I was just saying that when comparing a high school diploma with a GED, the high school diploma obviously outranks it. However, the college degree outranks them both.

>>1661977

You must be in the manual trades, then. Any sort of job, in this day and age, where you're not selling your labor is going to require a collage degree. The sheer amount of collage graduates now puts you at a distinct disadvantage without a diploma.

>>1661969
I have an high school diploma and yet still am unemployable, so I can say with confidence it was a huge waste of time getting it.

I spent most of my high school life just pretending I had people I called friends or just generally being friendly. I could never really discuss anything with them. Their ideals, likes, personalty or what have you were not to my taste so all I could do was mostly listen. They got closer somehow, but once we all graduated, I made no effort to seek contact.
I slept a lot during class and barely graduated as well.

>>1661988
This.

The difference between a GED and a high school diploma is completely negligible. Anyone who would hire you with just a high school degree probably doesn't care if it's high school or GED.

>>1661987

>Any sort of job, in this day and age, where you're not selling your labor is going to require a collage degree.

>if you graduate college

I see your high school diploma doesn't guarantee reading comprehension.

>>1661988
I actually wish they would take that into consideration, since it means I would be more likely to get part-time work over those high school students they always hire.

>>1661987
>collage degree
so is that when you major in gluing pictures together?

>>1661440
This, but I gave up the ghost in my second to last year of high school.

I still have friends, but I care much less about keeping up with them and stuff.

As long as I have you Anonymous...it's actually really depressing that I'm saying this, but it also makes me happy.

>>1662016
Hey, fuck you. Collages are more than just gluing pictures together. Composition! Composition!

>>1661952

All I did in every class was either read a book or sleep. I dropped out towards the end of my sophomore year and have been a NEET ever since. But it's more about who I am than what I did. Your success or failure is all up to you, when and where you sleep is not so important.

>>1661255

That is exactly how I spent High School.

>>1662016
Ha ha ha ha, oh, wow.

In the time it takes to sit through every piece of shit activity they make you do in high school, you could self study in the comfort of your own home and pass all the AP tests and get credits that actually mean something later on. High school is such a complete waste of time.

>>1661733

Thanks for all the feedback bros, my plan is to dropout and become a NEET (you guys didn't influence me or anything, it's just the best option I have currently)

>>1662028
I dropped out senior year. I think I'm going to die on the doorstep once I'm kicked out. The world out there is full of vile people and I do not want to be a part of such a world if most of the people I share it with deserve fiery, painful deaths. At least I have the merciful nuclear apocalypse to look forward to, if that even comes.

>>1662048
that
then afterwords asking everyone if they have a partner

>>1662048
"Even the nigger has a partner. Two of them!"

>>1662058
The solution is to cause the fiery apocalypse upon being kicked out.

Anon should make a commune somewhere. Perhaps in Africa. You could even make money off of diamonds.

>>1662058
why not deliver those fiery, painful deaths yourself?

>>1662058

You and me both, aniki. But my mom's never going to kick me out so I'm good as long as she keeps living.

>>1662067
That would require manipulating people to cause it to happen. That kind of behavior is what I'm sick of. People in positions of power can just kill each other, screwing other people over is what most of them are best at anyway.

>>1662068

But being around other people is exactly the thing I try to avoid by living this way. I mean, if the world wasn't full of people I'd go outside a lot more often. It's not like I have anything against parks. It's just that there's people out there, and I can't fucking stand them.

>>1662083
But you could be around people who are introverted and have same mindset as you, wouldn't you enjoy that, anon?

>>1662093
It doesn't work like that.

Sleeper here, as well.

My high school life wasn't particularly bad. I had a few friends. The shitty part began after I transferred into an online school for the last two years of it, which happened to be a diehard religious zealot factory.

If you could work alone for group projects that wouldn't be so bad, but when you have to present it it's the worst. Everybody knows that you're alone then.

>>1662093
I don't think he works that way. Hell, even sometimes I want to punch fellow internet lolipedofins just because I think they deserve it.

>>1662093

People are people, man. I used to have friends, and they were pretty cool. But I still chose total isolation. I have the internet, and even with /jp/ going to shit, that's still better than any other form of human interaction.

Plus, have you ever actually met someone who's really like you? I mean, REALLY like you. Like a long lost twin. Because I have, and trust me, it's creepy and unsettling and you'll probably hate them.

High school wasn't bad at all, I had friends but there were people trying ot start shit with me all the time. Now I just work at a gas station.

>>1662139
Silence, woman. You know nothing of our kind and our ways. Just as man does not know how it is to have a period, woman will not know what it is to be in the situation most of us are in.

>>1662139
You must be trying to extend to other threads now that your thread has been spotted for the troll that it was.

That or the janitors didn't like that you posted a meta thread. Go figure!

>>1662139
Sweet jesus christ, please leave and never come back... seriously I beg of you to leave.

>>1662126
The only person who acts like me is my brother, but he's a bit more extrovert. And I hate his fucking guts.

so I can understand where you're coming from, I prefer isolation but sometimes I really want someone who isn't an asshole and has hobbies like I do to be friends with me ;_;

>>1661255

How'd you get that picture of me in High School?

Half of the time, I wasn't actually sleeping, it was just that I didn't feel the urge to socialize with others, and they never talked with me.

>>1662165

I could maybe be your friend, but only from a safe distance. Maybe.

>>1661255
that's how i spent high school.
and junior high.
and elementary, even (in some way).

i just dont like people. i often gaze outside and think, WHY THE FUCK CAN'T I JUST SPEND MY ENTIRE EDUCATION ALONE? IT'S NOT LIKE I NEED OTHERS TO GET GOOD GRADES OR WHATEVER IT'S CALLED. GOOD GRADES ARE THE ENTIRE POINT OF GOING TO SCHOOL, AMIRITE? SO WHY THE FUCK DO I HAVE TO KEEP UP WITH THE FUCKING PATHETIC PEOPLE WHO KEEP ON DOING LOLRANDOM XD THINGS.

btw i'm still doing that even in college. i fucking hate it when an assignment has to be completed in group. especially group of two. it's a massive entanglement for me.

tl;dr: /jp/ -- group therapy for you

>>1662172
I was like that until I hit college and found out that I couldn't pull good grades anymore or, frankly, anything above a D. Putting all your eggs in one basket is never a good idea.

>>1662083
It's not about being friends. It's about removing all unproductive Anons from society and putting them somewhere they won't bother everyone else. Being in Africa and involving diamonds will probably kill a couple of Anons, but that's a good thing.

>>1662185
pirate better e-books.
hack into university network.
blackmail the professors by their scat pr0n.

BUT. DO. AVOID. FUCKING USELESS PEER INTERACTIONS.

>>1662189

I've already removed myself from society, why isn't that enough for you? Why do I have to be in Africa or dead?

>>1662199
Well I figured it was to late to do anything about it and now live as a NEET. But I figure if actually did talk to people beforehand, it would be easier to get past job interviews now. Also, how am I supposed to have the social savvy to blackmail someone if I can barely speak a complete sentence without stuttering?

I had a very normal highschool life due to the fact that I didn't turn into a weeaboo until college. I can't imagine what people in that redneck hellhole would have said if I was into anime/japan back then.

>>1662262
I think that they'd say I LIKE YOU, COME OVER TO MY HOUSE AND FUCK MY SISTER

>>1662262
>redneck hellhole
Where was that?

>>1662227
It's more exciting. Don't you like more fun?

>>1662262
If you say Midlothian, Virginia, I'm going to cry.

>>1662306

Death, maybe. But Africa is not my idea of exciting.

>;_;

>>1662165
My brother used to be like that.

He's turned into a proper jock over the past couple of years. Not a big deal, sometimes he gets a bit too cocky and I want to just hit the fuck. But he's my younger brother, and I will always protect him in any way I can.

We used to have pretty similar interests, still do, it's just that's he's gotten more extroverted over the years and I've gotten much more intro.

>>1662145
>Sage

>>1662262
I didn't turn into a weeaboo until college either, but I was still a nerd and everyone in my redneck hellhole knew it. I was friends with some of the ok normalfags, but by senior year I was sick of going to the lake and getting wasted every weekend so I stopped hanging out with them.

sure us /jp/-related in he- oh wait, it is

I usually had my face down or was doing something generic (scribbling, playing games on cell phone, etc). Everyone still wanted to group up with me because even though I'm lazy as fuck, I never really failed much. I had a total of ~10 friends throughout highschool, of which I still keep in contact with one. Only went to college for 5 months before dropping out due to utter boredom, still keep with 4 people. Both in high school and in college though, whenever there was chance to be alone rather than with a group, I'd go for it. Lunch was wonderful the first 2-3 weeks of college. I had lunch in a nearby park with my laptop on my -gasp- lap. Also, when it comes to parties and the likes, I'd rather go have a drink with a few (read: 6 tops or so) friends than with a huge group. I still completely fail to see the point of going to a dancing and/or getting drunk with 20 people.
