How Much Have You Changed Since High School

It’s been 8 years for me as well. I still look 17, but fortunately, just about everything else has changed.

I graduated 21 years ago and am told I am only recognizable by my distinctive voice. I wore glasses and was a very late bloomer. I didn’t learn to dress to my best advantage and tame my unruly hair until I was in my 20’s. At 5’8", I tried to seem smaller—the boys in school were always shorter than me, it seemed. My parents were very loving and very strict. I was involved in lots of extracurricular activities but they drove me there and waited until I was done to take me home. I look much better than I did in school. If a man is shorter than me, it’s okay and I’ll still wear my 3 inch heels. I drive myself everywhere and like it!

How much have I changed since high school?

Well, I graduated in 1977. 25 times 365 minus a few camping trips…wait a minute…are we counting underwear and socks separately?

not much.

It’s been 11 years. I know that sounds like
a lot to some of you. I hear somebody’s age mentioned
on the news and I think ‘gosh they’re old’
then I think, ‘they’re a year older than me’.

I’m getting that narrowing of the hair in the front
on the top of my head. My hair has thinned a good bit.

I still wear cool clothes.

  1. I am no longer suicidal. At least, not nearly as much.

  2. I no longer want to blow up significant parts of the world (including my former school).

  3. My hair.

  4. I used to be a rather conservative person in terms of religion. I ain’t anymore.

  5. Lot less naive, thanks to this board.

  6. I’m not a completely pathetic loser anymore. [sub]Only a mostly pathetic loser.[/sub]

  7. As I told a friend of mine from high school, I got the stick out of my ass.

  8. I have accepted the possibility that not every person I haven’t met is evil. Er, it is possible that there are random people out there I haven’t heard of . . . who aren’t out to get me. You would not have been able to drive this fact into me with a sledgehammer and the jaws of life back in high school.

In general, I’m healthier.

It’s been nearly five months.

I have darker hair.

I’m not afraid to dress in a very weird fashion.

I have gained no weight, nor have I grown, nor did I expect either.

I’ve become EXTREMELY independent. I was always somewhat of a loner in high school, but I’m more of one now.

It’s not so bad. I kind of like myself.

It’s been over 3 years since I graduated high school. I’m glad I’m out of high school and away from my hometown. It was such a dead end. As for how much I’ve changed since back then…I basically look the same or better, I’ve learned a lot about life,I’ve made a lot of great friends, and I’ve lost a few old ones. The biggest and greatest change in my life since high school has to be falling in love with the very best friend I’ve ever had… :slight_smile:

Seriously though Im a lot more self confident and have lost quite a bit of weight. I am also way more versed in drugs. I believe these three changes MAY be related :wink:

I have matured. In high school I was universally regarded to be an insufferable know it all. These days I am only generally acknowledged to be one.
