It can be hard to believe it when you graduate. It is at that moment when you know you are truly starting your life good luck to you

3 years left here. You a freshman?

Class of 1990.

Dab on em

While I understand the US high school system to be some kind of variously cage for feral children, one in which only the good, the strong or the lucky survive, and torturous time filler where if you learn something it is more by happy accident I still find the "now my life will start" thing to be odd.
a) you will probably have some more training regardless of what you set out to do and b) are you not supposed to have figured out a few of your interests, skills and such and made a few friends that will be around for the long term?

Don't get me wrong though it certainly has the potential to get better from here and anybody you meet that reckons high school was the best time of their life is probably either terminally boring or exceptionally unfortunate in what happened after that, and in really bad cases both of those at once.

The two years I lived on campus at uni were the funnest and most adventure-filled amazing years of my life so you are definitely truly lucky to have that coming to you, if you choose to go to university/college and live on campus. If I could pick any year of my life to live over and over on repeat it would be that first year.

Aside from that though, your life is your life and having finished high school shouldn't make too much difference - it will be normal for someone your age to have a diploma. If you're still living at home, life will be much the same (except most parents will start charging board), and if you move out, then you get to say goodbye to fun, carefree childhood and embrace responsibility-filled adulthood.

Oh, it'll be a real fun time. Best I can tell you, progress is progress, even if it's slow.

You'll feel what that means, in time.

It's not a matter of being done with my education rather it's a matter of being done with the factory line section of my education. Now I can finally move onto either job training or what is more reasonable for my desired field of work, college. I can finally pick classes that truly pertain to what I want to do in life. I can finally get a job. I can finally move out. I can finally be an independent partipant in life. You are right. Highschool does boil down to just a holding cell till children reach about 18 but I do not agree with learning nothing. Not much of the information I learned there will be usable in the real world but there were a small handful of classes that were useful. Unfortunately my one example being computer programming which only taught me vb and in a half assed manor at that was cut not long after I took that class. Unfortunately I am part of the group though that has as of this point had high school be the best point in there life. That however is a story in of itself that unless anyone asks for it I will likely never bother alaborating on.

Congratulations! Are you completely done with school? If so, welcome to the good life!

Now get a job (or two), loser!!

If your life thus far consists of being a baby, lower/primary/first/whatever they call school until you are about 11 (add things if middle school is a thing where you are at), and then high school then that is an entirely acceptable position to be in. It is when people are in their 20s, 30s, 40s and beyond and tell me high school was the best time in their life that I pause to wonder.

Picking classes around what you want to do in life only comes to pass when you are 18? Odd. Here I had choices from about 12 in some cases, more realistically 13-14 and that is lower for those going through it now. 16 and it was free reign. Amusingly university actually offered less choice but enough of that one.
I should say though you clearly can do this internet lark and even without that then libraries are a thing. To that end I would have to query why no self taught stuff?

Congrats, Midna! You're finally graduating.

I have tryed to teach myself a few things in life but every time I try to use such information I'm shoved back into place and told what I do know isn't actually useful. Every time I think I've learned something it turns out I've gone nowhere in the eyes of others. It seems only knowledge gained from an actual teacher is valued.

I encountered something similar at times. You learn to ignore such opinions.
