[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last year was worse with the pandemic.  My kid checked out and shut down.  He got the school and package he wanted but it was a joyless and lonely process and year.  [/quote]

+1. Last year was so much worse. [/quote]

Seeing all the prom-related and other special activities at our HS for Seniors this year, feeling bummed for all that DS missed last year.  So thankful he attends a college with a welcoming and social dorm/campus environment!

I would be surprised if any of those kids think about those things. One of my family members (and her mother) were obsessed about prom, homecoming, etc. etc. all the things she would miss. I chatted with her one day and told her how I was very excited about those things when I was in HS too. That's valid. BUT. As soon as that cap and gown was put away, I barely glanced backward for a minute to thing about high school. Any part of it. I had COLLEGE in front of me.

And you know what, that kid is in college now and having a great time. She doesn't miss HS even a little and does not feel "sad" over what she missed. You shouldn't either. [/quote]

High school was superior to college for me in just about every way. My standard of living was way lower in college and I had to worry about paying for classes unlike in hs.[/quote]
