Not really. I was not popular although I had a steady girlfriend most of the time.
We were just a middle class family but the high school hosted most of the "rich" kids.
I enjoyed my life outside of school hours much more. My best friend was 4 years older and had a cool car(Bandit Trans Am and then a 68 GTO). We also started our band during my junior year.
In my senior year I only had to be there in the am for a few required classes and worked through the co-op program at Pizza Hut in the afternoon.
My 30 year reunion is this summer and my HS girlfriend contacted me about attending. I doubt we will go. Nothing against anyone, I just don't like those kind of events.
I couldn't wait to get out and not go back. I wish my parents had pushed me harder to get better grades. Self-motivation to learn was not for me.
I have my marching band shirt and jacket from 1982 when we were in competition in Daytona Beach. It's hard to believe I was actually that scrawny.
