@@gym_analysis My single immigrant father knows what losing jobs and starving is. My family has suffered and I'm the first to go to college, which is the exact reason it means so much to me. To give thanks and appreciation to the people who have raised me and supported me, who have gone hungry and worked their asses off until fatal exhaustion so that I could graduate. After family, school is everything. Don't compare struggles and stop ranking them through a system you consider valid, it makes you look like an ass.
20, 30, 40, 50 years from now people will look back to this and say “wow high school back then was so fun” just like how we see high school videos from the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s🤗
I feel so bad for the class of 2020 . They deserve a prom , a senior trip, a senior night , day at the beach , a bonfire, a senior prank and a graduation 👩🎓 I pray for you 💓💓💓🥺 ( yes I have watched this multiple times
They don’t deserve anything they already had their fun in the whole school year . Trust me I saw kids last year 2020 and I don’t feel bad they always have fun so just because they didn’t get a graduation it’s horrible? No! think about the kids if any grade who are loners who never experience the fun the dances the football games prom homecoming and stuff like that
Why does American high school look like so much fun. Here in Canada, we don't have Friday night lights or dances. We have 1 prom and graduation and that's it
American high school seems like so many events, here in Germany you go home by 1 pm, no sports clubs or proms or that. Just go home and chill with friends lol
I usually don’t go to the events since I don’t really have friends there with me that and cause I’m anti social. As well as embarrassed about being fat so yeah but I moved to another school and my daily walk to it will basically be my workout to lose weight while I search for a good diet plan
im a sophomore too and i moved this past year so i havent really met anyone or been to my school yet so im def going to make the most with our last years
I don’t hate it but I definitely don’t feel like it’s been the best years I’ll look back on yet I feel the same I hope junior and senior year are amazing and filled of memories
america: we only have a couple proms, friday light parties and a boring graduation :( canada: omg we only get 1 prom and 1 graduation india: you guys are getting graduation and proms?
Same here, I’m Brazilian and honestly all I ever wanted was to have a prom and a graduation day. Here in Brazil is totally different. I cry every time I remember that 🥲
Frr, but we got farewell tho... it's not as good as prom in America but a spite and a speech from principal is a very good way to spend the afternoon 😻😻
I literally feel your pain. And I honestly feel like I shouldn’t even blame myself because I never even had opportunities to experience big things or memories in high school, especially in grade 12 bc of covid :/ I just hope my uni experience will hopefully be better and make up for everything I missed as a teenager
you can blame obama and the teachers union and the teachers and the liberals they all wanted to stay home so they did this. I am sorry girl. please vote for Trump in 2024 and this will never happen again
Most people say, college is the best time of your life. You have all the freedom, the struggles without them being overwhelming, it’s perfect. High school is the step below. Just because you’re graduating high school, doesn’t mean it’s over yet. I’m a freshmen and I’m savoring every day, try and take atleast 10 minutes a day thinking of things your great full and nostalgia.
Beautiful video! To everyone struggling in school right now: I know it‘s hard. I know sometimes you want to give up. But you didn‘t give up, you‘re still here!! I‘m so proud of you for making it this far. I promise you that happier times will come and that things will get better. I‘m waiting for the good times too but I‘m sure they will come for both of us. I love you and take care.
I’m a junior in highschool on my last day of school. This video made me so emotional as a ton of my senior friends are leaving. I’m already reflecting on the past and it feels like yesterday I first met those guys. I wouldn’t be who I am without them. To show my respect I’m going to make the most out of my last year of high school next year
Same here. I’ve been watching all of these sad Grad videos because.. We’re next. Let’s make our Senior years the best! They all say it goes by so fast, so don’t forget to have no regrets. This is our final chance!
0:59 that shot is so cool and impressive. looking for inspiration for my senior year video and love this! thank you for sharing your memories with us and putting so much thought and effort into making something so special ❤
Omg! I love this so much! Thanks for being so candid about your experiences! High school was shitty for me too, I went through a lot of personal problems and never had close friend groups but as time went on, now in college, I do, and it's only getting up from here.
I will be a senior in the up coming school year and this video made me cry. It made me realize how fast highschool went by and how much I'll miss everyone.
Just be you, people come and go but never lose yourself, enjoy and keep each moment and memory close!!! Also have fun!!!! Don’t let people’s opinions take you down, you’ll find your people, and don’t take time trying to find a significant other, they’ll come in your path and you’ll know who’s right for you! Don’t always document things on your phone, sure it’s great to have pictures and post things sometimes but take in the little moments, trust me on that one! And try to stay motivated, it’s gonna get hard to want to study, go out of the house, get out of bed, everything but keep pushing! Also if people want you in their life they’ll make time for you! don’t feel pressured to do what everyone else does, lots of people think you have to wear or eat certain things, and if you don’t feel comfortable doing things like idk drinking, sneaking out or whatever you don’t have to do it, it’s ok not to be like everyone. I feel like imma start repeating things I’ve already said bc I talk to much but if theirs anything else you need advice on just lmk:)
the only peace of advice i could give it to be kind! But don’t be afraid to stand up for what you believe in. Friend groups aren’t everything. Just focus on you and the good ones will come around! Live in the moment, and just make the most of everything!
honestly- i just finished my freshman year, just enjoy it all and try to meet new people. it’s rly easy to get distracted and lose who u are but it’ll end up being great. (but algebra sucks lol)
Don’t do things without thinking about what it could do, because after you do it you can’t go back and change it as it’s already been done. Apply this specifically towards friendships and relationships.
I am too! I personally don’t have any tips except for (hearing from other people) to become friends with upperclassman and stay true to yourself.. like I’ve already became friends with some upperclassmen and I can tell, it will be so much better. goodluck, from one incoming freshman to another :)
I'm going into high school this year, and I am honestly so excited, but also sad because I know that I shouldn't have taken middle school for granted, and high school goes by super fast. good luck to everyone who's graduating, or has graduated! :D
And good luck to you for entering high school enjoy it while you can i just entered my second year in a new school and my experience is good so far so I’m positive yours will be as well
this video is a masterpiece alone, but after reading the description, it somehow makes the video, music, and your memories feel like I went through them with you. i'm so glad you are doing so much better ♥
This video is a blessing. Thank you for sharing it with us. We are so happy you got through this and are still here learning and growing. So proud of you.
Make the most of it!! Even if you don’t have many friends or people to go out with, still go outside by yourself! Get comfortable with being by yourself, it definitely is a life changer! And honestly stay on your A game so you have higher chances of getting into any college or university you want, just take it day by day bc by the end of it, you won’t even stress or worry about the days when it was hard :)
i seriously can’t believe i graduate in less than 6 months, i still remember my freshman year like it was yesterday, getting lost in finding my way around the school
This video is more artistic and beautiful than it seems. So many deliberate choices blend together to create this wonderful viewing experience. Thank you, nina.
@@hinklefamily1831 it’s basically hell, clubs? we don’t have this, we don’t have “sport teams”, we don’t have any activities besides school work and homework (and we can’t do stuff because we are so drained afterwards), we don’t have proper weekends because we have school on Saturdays, it can sound so dramatic but we don’t have lockers or anything we just carry books around, P.E is the only time when we can have a break, and the education system is just bad like they try to change it every 5 years (like the exams we take to graduate) but it never works, and they don’t care about you succeeding, they won’t help you with anything There is probably good stuff and bad stuff everywhere, but I’ve never meet a person who likes school or who is sad it’s over, in France. I don’t want to brag or anything, but I’m a very positive and smart person and I’m very happy to be learning new things everyday but even the smart ones don’t like school here… Even breaks here feel like homeschool with all the stuff we have to do. And only 40% of French kids go to uni after high school, it’s not that common… In the video it seemed so fun but I know it’s not like that everyday so I guess I’ll just have to stop complaining 😂
@@jessicalukaszewicz6723 oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Have you ever thought about taking an exchange year somewhere else? Believe it or not, as much as this clip takes clips from all the big end of year ceremonies, this looks really accurate to personal US school experience and I even come from a poor school. I also know from a friend some schools in the UK have less restrictions
@@hinklefamily1831 A year abroad is actually a great idea but it’s not that common here. It’s usually very expensive or you can’t get to the organisation because you are not from a private school… I knew about exchange students only from movies or RUclips videos, nobody talks about it and it’s not always accessible to everyone. I only have one year left so I don’t worry about it too much but we try to protest and everything, we’ll see where it goes 🤷🏼♀️
@@jessicalukaszewicz6723 those 4 years of high school were the best years of my life. I’m only 21 but I doubt anything will compare to those 4 years. My class (2019) was the last class to have a normal year. I’m sorry to hear that I’m sure French school have some good and bad.
@@inayaaaamm I'm trying to find another one myself but the app I'm currently using is called Video Maker or Video Guru, it's free and let's you make long videos and make edits including music, it's my favorite so far - I've been searching for a while. Any of the higher quality editing apps I've found you have to pay for, hope that helps! Congrats to you on graduating too
i started high school this year, idk i dont usually feel this about school but i just have this feeling these 4 years of high school will be the most memorable times of my life
@@playpluzz380 I went to a great high school an man I miss them. Those 4 years were the best 4 years of my life I wish I could relive them but those days are gone forever😭. Class of 2019💯💯💯
i just graduated high school, class of 2021. i'm gonna miss it so much. they weren't lying, when they said high school goes by fast. I still remember my first day as a freshman and now i'm going to college. homecoming, cheer, football games, spirit weeks, prom, graduation, lunch breaks, field trips. Good memories. For those still in high school, enjoy, every little moments while it lasts :,)
And here is me from Iran watching the video that none of those moments ever happened in my high school 🙂💔 I wish I could spend my teen years like u all. :)
thank you for sharing your highlights, but even more, writing your story in the captions. I cannot imagine how difficult it was to face psychological trauma and to be in toxic environments so often. Even after all of that, you still chose to persevere and celebrate the good when reflecting...and that’s inspiring. soo thank you from a class of 2021 grad for such a touching & encouraging montage ♡
Class of 2016 here and man, high school was something else. It was full of love and hate, and now it's just bittersweet in a good way. Being with my group of friends smoking and rollerblading, the trips, got to be with my crush for a good bit and got to experience other relationships, the late night group phone conversations, feeling the future was mine, and just everything else that made those bittersweet good ol' days amazing. What's crazy as that now after almost 6 years I don't even talk to any of em anymore except for one, I'm in a completely different area, new girlfriend, new friends, new passions and hobbies, etc. For those still in high school I would say enjoy it while you can because after high school AND college, shit is just different. Gonna be 24 years old in May and man I can't believe how much has come and gone and come and gone and come again in these last six years for me. Everything will change for you, and that's okay 👍enjoy it, even the new.
I’m class of 2019 an even though it’s only been 3 years I still get nostalgic by watching these videos. I really do wish I can relive those 4 years of high school but those days are gone forever😭
wow I'm glad you made the video anyway it's really great but you ARE RESILIENT!!! And high school is really hard especially with our changes but thank you so much for your story, it helps to anyone & everyone struggling with anything going on because we know we've got people that we can relate to
I'll be a junior in high-school this year, sophomore year sucks but the thing i enjoy the most is the memories I have made with my friends that have made me laugh till I cry and feel pure happiness in my heart. Even though the school work can be tough and teachers can be bad, cherish every moment of school, we only have so long and it goes faster every year.
Update: 1 month left of junior year. The year was by far the best academically but awful socially. Try your hardest to make friends, don't throw away relationships for the best grades. I did that and I regret it. For the first time in a long time I don't know what the next school year holds for me. It's going fast.
Hey enjoy your time. You're gonna be surprised by how fast times go by and how much can change in the span of a year. Hang out with good people and don't become a therapist friend. It is tiring and emotionally draining. Also just be kind because if you're not chances are you're gonna feel terrible after awhile. Also just have lots of fun try to hang out with friends after school and don't let people take advantage of you. Also you're a kid don't get caught up with boys to much and don't make them your world or some stuff like that. So many of my friends learned the hard way so yeah. Anyway I wish you the best of luck and be careful and I hope your middle school years go better than mine! Also don't let people in your grade or older people convince you to do drugs. I've seen many of my friends become addicted to it.
I graduated a month ago. It does go by fast. I read your description and I'm sorry for what you went through but I'm sure you're in a better place now :)
I'm going to high school in september, and I'm kinda scared and kinda excited and im kinda sad because the next time I will be the oldest of the school, Ill be a senior.....
Coming into high school, my dad told me it can be some of the worst 4 years of your life, or the best. For me, I made it the best. Make sure you make it the best too.
Class of 2019 here. As high school sinks further and further into distant memory, I find myself missing it even more. But times change. And you have to move on
I don’t know what everyone was talking about my high school experience was sh*t. I am not gonna miss any second of it. Cant wait to graduate next year.
I graduated in 2019 which was the last normal year. I’m sorry to hear that I can’t imagine how that feels. I enjoyed every single moment while your best years were taken from you😢
can’t wait for my senior year this next school year especially since my last three years of high school were practically ruined due to bad mental health and then the virus, so i’ll make the absolute most out of this one. 💗
Back when I was in school I told myself time will go slow but it felt like it was yesterday. I had friends and fun moments but i didn’t like the work and essays but that’s the point of school. looking back school was actually fun for me especially my high school years but sadly it got cut off by COVID and didn’t go as expected and we didn’t have a graduation ceremony so we had to pick up our diplomas at school. :((
I'm the class of 2010. I miss it a lot. Like really a lot. The popularly, the people, the drama, the love, the spirit. Wish time travel was possible. Having over 1000 people scream for you at the prep allies. My phone NEVER stopped ringing. I was a living God. Then you realize after your final day senior year, that door behind you closed forever. Your presence in person is no longer there. My name is still on the banners in the gym even after 11 years. That's my legacy. I created my own. Make yours happen to.
@@eu9ne that's what everyone thinks. It's quite the contrary actually. Didn't compete in any sport. Not one. For some reason, I just became hella popular. Still not sure why to this day.
im not even in high school but i will be in 2 years. this video still kinda made me tear up though because i know that when i get into high school, im going to have all these great memories that im gonna miss so badly
Im telling you those 4 years of high school were the best years of my life if I could relive them I would without hesitation. I just hoping the pandemic doesn’t ruin it for you😢
Very heartwarming story that you wrote in the description, and a great video to go along with it. This is inspiring me to make one for myself which I think I’ll do.
American school seems so fun cause in England we just have a prom at the end of year 11 and that’s it. Like we don’t have dances or cheerleaders and we have to wear a uniform
I studied in India school was zero fun it was always about “education” and we didn’t even have gym, but at least I didn’t have any of these annoying responsibilities and stress then😕
To everyone sad in the comments: I don’t mean to downplay the pain of losing these moments to covid, especially when Disney channel etc. really hypes them up lol, but I assure you that you will have many peaks beyond high school ❤️ there’s so much to look forward too! Regardless of whether you go to college, work, whatever - you have yet to meet some of your favorite people, go to your new favorite places, and make some of your best memories. Get excited because you’re in for a lot of great things!
I just went to my senior lunch today before graduation. we’ve been online for 2 years and everyone has changed so much, it was a little upsetting how no one cared how we all were doing besides me. they all have a plan in life and I just feel stuck. highschool was supposed to be different. COVID ruined a big part of our childhood
hi nina, i don't know if you'll ever see this cuz ik i'm late and this wonderful video was posted a year ago. I read ur description and I really wanted to thank you for being so strong, so brave, and so courageous. i appreciate all your efforts! thank you so much for not choosing the other way. i'm so proud of you!! and thank you sm for being my idol!!!! incase anyone hasn't said this to you truly, i love you

the only peace of advice i could give it to be kind! But don’t be afraid to stand up for what you believe in. Friend groups aren’t everything. Just focus on you and the good ones will come around! Live in the moment, and just make the most of everything!
honestly- i just finished my freshman year, just enjoy it all and try to meet new people. it’s rly easy to get distracted and lose who u are but it’ll end up being great. (but algebra sucks lol)
Don’t do things without thinking about what it could do, because after you do it you can’t go back and change it as it’s already been done. Apply this specifically towards friendships and relationships.
I am too! I personally don’t have any tips except for (hearing from other people) to become friends with upperclassman and stay true to yourself.. like I’ve already became friends with some upperclassmen and I can tell, it will be so much better. goodluck, from one incoming freshman to another :)
I'm going into high school this year, and I am honestly so excited, but also sad because I know that I shouldn't have taken middle school for granted, and high school goes by super fast. good luck to everyone who's graduating, or has graduated! :D
And good luck to you for entering high school enjoy it while you can i just entered my second year in a new school and my experience is good so far so I’m positive yours will be as well
this video is a masterpiece alone, but after reading the description, it somehow makes the video, music, and your memories feel like I went through them with you. i'm so glad you are doing so much better ♥
This video is a blessing. Thank you for sharing it with us. We are so happy you got through this and are still here learning and growing. So proud of you.
This is so adorable, I got goosebumps.
I’m just starting high school and I’m ready to make some memories
Make the most of it!! Even if you don’t have many friends or people to go out with, still go outside by yourself! Get comfortable with being by yourself, it definitely is a life changer! And honestly stay on your A game so you have higher chances of getting into any college or university you want, just take it day by day bc by the end of it, you won’t even stress or worry about the days when it was hard :)
High school might be a pain in the butt but that last day will always hits you in the feels.
I’m crying so hard 😩
I wasn’t expanding me to say that I miss school one day but I do 🥲😭 I really miss everything in school 😩💗
YooI I feel it man, got like 6 months left until the end. I'll miss it :(
i seriously can’t believe i graduate in less than 6 months, i still remember my freshman year like it was yesterday, getting lost in finding my way around the school
idk why but I cried, I’m gonna be a senior and this reminded me of how fast time goes , loved ittt
This video is more artistic and beautiful than it seems. So many deliberate choices blend together to create this wonderful viewing experience. Thank you, nina.
I think that all of the French kids can agree that we left high school felling relieved and happy it’s finally over
Why? (Sorry, I'm American so I wouldn't know)
@@hinklefamily1831 it’s basically hell, clubs? we don’t have this, we don’t have “sport teams”, we don’t have any activities besides school work and homework (and we can’t do stuff because we are so drained afterwards), we don’t have proper weekends because we have school on Saturdays, it can sound so dramatic but we don’t have lockers or anything we just carry books around, P.E is the only time when we can have a break, and the education system is just bad like they try to change it every 5 years (like the exams we take to graduate) but it never works, and they don’t care about you succeeding, they won’t help you with anything
There is probably good stuff and bad stuff everywhere, but I’ve never meet a person who likes school or who is sad it’s over, in France.
I don’t want to brag or anything, but I’m a very positive and smart person and I’m very happy to be learning new things everyday but even the smart ones don’t like school here…
Even breaks here feel like homeschool with all the stuff we have to do.
And only 40% of French kids go to uni after high school, it’s not that common…
In the video it seemed so fun but I know it’s not like that everyday so I guess I’ll just have to stop complaining 😂
@@jessicalukaszewicz6723 oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Have you ever thought about taking an exchange year somewhere else? Believe it or not, as much as this clip takes clips from all the big end of year ceremonies, this looks really accurate to personal US school experience and I even come from a poor school. I also know from a friend some schools in the UK have less restrictions
@@hinklefamily1831 A year abroad is actually a great idea but it’s not that common here. It’s usually very expensive or you can’t get to the organisation because you are not from a private school… I knew about exchange students only from movies or RUclips videos, nobody talks about it and it’s not always accessible to everyone. I only have one year left so I don’t worry about it too much but we try to protest and everything, we’ll see where it goes 🤷🏼♀️
@@jessicalukaszewicz6723 those 4 years of high school were the best years of my life. I’m only 21 but I doubt anything will compare to those 4 years. My class (2019) was the last class to have a normal year. I’m sorry to hear that I’m sure French school have some good and bad.
Hey, i stumbled upon this video while making one about my own high school, do you mind if I use the office clip too?
Go ahead, I dont think she would mind.
hi! i don't own that clip, so of course! go ahead and use it :) xx
@@ninarifkin Heyy im thinking of making a video like this, what app did u use for this?
@@inayaaaamm I'm trying to find another one myself but the app I'm currently using is called Video Maker or Video Guru, it's free and let's you make long videos and make edits including music, it's my favorite so far - I've been searching for a while. Any of the higher quality editing apps I've found you have to pay for, hope that helps! Congrats to you on graduating too
i started high school this year, idk i dont usually feel this about school but i just have this feeling these 4 years of high school will be the most memorable times of my life
They will and that’s what I thought too. Enjoy it while you can because it will feel like it was yesterday
@@yourtypicalbot1926 Ok!! :)
@@playpluzz380 I went to a great high school an man I miss them. Those 4 years were the best 4 years of my life I wish I could relive them but those days are gone forever😭. Class of 2019💯💯💯
me a year ago : I’m gonna make the best out of these days.
COVID : hello
i just graduated high school, class of 2021. i'm gonna miss it so much. they weren't lying, when they said high school goes by fast. I still remember my first day as a freshman and now i'm going to college. homecoming, cheer, football games, spirit weeks, prom, graduation, lunch breaks, field trips. Good memories. For those still in high school, enjoy, every little moments while it lasts :,)
True I graduated in 2019 an I miss it already it’s only been 3 years😭😭
And here is me from Iran watching the video that none of those moments ever happened in my high school 🙂💔
I wish I could spend my teen years like u all. :)
I'm sorry to hear that. I hope besides that you are doing well and life is nice
@@hinklefamily1831 That's so nice of you... Thanks♥
Same
i miss these good old days in my high school w my friends. senior year are the best!
Today was my last day of year 12 in Australia this video made me cry, soo many memories to cherish
The words in the description are beautiful. Thank you for sharing 🖤
thank you for sharing your highlights, but even more, writing your story in the captions. I cannot imagine how difficult it was to face psychological trauma and to be in toxic environments so often. Even after all of that, you still chose to persevere and celebrate the good when reflecting...and that’s inspiring. soo thank you from a class of 2021 grad for such a touching & encouraging montage ♡
I spent my high school years studying so hard to end up in a decent college, but I didn't enjoy those years. Now I'm trying to enjoy college.
The sad part is once you leave school you can't go back and relibe the memories
edit im a senior and this hits harder now 😪
this makes me so sad but happy. i’m going to be a freshman in hs and i don’t want it to go by so fast.
Just started senior year, this nostalgia isn’t leaving and I’m not even graduated yet 😭
Ngl bt this gave me goosebumps
I miss High School :)
My ten year high school reunion and wow time flies man. Good old days lol can’t wait to see old friends again
Class of 2016 here and man, high school was something else. It was full of love and hate, and now it's just bittersweet in a good way. Being with my group of friends smoking and rollerblading, the trips, got to be with my crush for a good bit and got to experience other relationships, the late night group phone conversations, feeling the future was mine, and just everything else that made those bittersweet good ol' days amazing. What's crazy as that now after almost 6 years I don't even talk to any of em anymore except for one, I'm in a completely different area, new girlfriend, new friends, new passions and hobbies, etc. For those still in high school I would say enjoy it while you can because after high school AND college, shit is just different. Gonna be 24 years old in May and man I can't believe how much has come and gone and come and gone and come again in these last six years for me. Everything will change for you, and that's okay 👍enjoy it, even the new.
I’m class of 2019 an even though it’s only been 3 years I still get nostalgic by watching these videos. I really do wish I can relive those 4 years of high school but those days are gone forever😭
wow I'm glad you made the video anyway it's really great but you ARE RESILIENT!!! And high school is really hard especially with our changes but thank you so much for your story, it helps to anyone & everyone struggling with anything going on because we know we've got people that we can relate to
I'll be a junior in high-school this year, sophomore year sucks but the thing i enjoy the most is the memories I have made with my friends that have made me laugh till I cry and feel pure happiness in my heart. Even though the school work can be tough and teachers can be bad, cherish every moment of school, we only have so long and it goes faster every year.
Update: 1 month left of junior year. The year was by far the best academically but awful socially. Try your hardest to make friends, don't throw away relationships for the best grades. I did that and I regret it. For the first time in a long time I don't know what the next school year holds for me. It's going fast.
This damn near made me cry.
thus is like the movies
I graduated elementary this year, I need middle school and high school still I’m happy I have a lot more time as a kid
Cherish it!
Enjoy it! I’m going to be a freshmen and although people say hs is a lot better then middle school, I still miss it:)
Hey enjoy your time. You're gonna be surprised by how fast times go by and how much can change in the span of a year. Hang out with good people and don't become a therapist friend. It is tiring and emotionally draining. Also just be kind because if you're not chances are you're gonna feel terrible after awhile. Also just have lots of fun try to hang out with friends after school and don't let people take advantage of you. Also you're a kid don't get caught up with boys to much and don't make them your world or some stuff like that. So many of my friends learned the hard way so yeah. Anyway I wish you the best of luck and be careful and I hope your middle school years go better than mine!
Also don't let people in your grade or older people convince you to do drugs. I've seen many of my friends become addicted to it.
@@butokum1171 alright thanks a lot
as an upcoming sophomore, enjoy every minute of it
the way this is how we became friends and connected online Nina!! through this vid back in 2020
I graduated a month ago. It does go by fast. I read your description and I'm sorry for what you went through but I'm sure you're in a better place now :)
I'm going to high school in september, and I'm kinda scared and kinda excited and im kinda sad because the next time I will be the oldest of the school, Ill be a senior.....
Coming into high school, my dad told me it can be some of the worst 4 years of your life, or the best. For me, I made it the best. Make sure you make it the best too.
U lucky fuck have fun and enjoy it
Class of 2019 here. As high school sinks further and further into distant memory, I find myself missing it even more. But times change. And you have to move on
I don’t know what everyone was talking about my high school experience was sh*t. I am not gonna miss any second of it. Cant wait to graduate next year.
Same
Dude same
You’ll miss the little things I said the same thing saying I wouldn’t miss it
Class of 2021 had it the worst. Our best years were taken away from us
I graduated in 2019 which was the last normal year. I’m sorry to hear that I can’t imagine how that feels. I enjoyed every single moment while your best years were taken from you😢
Honestly I’m crying rn becuase it’s my last day of school on Thursday I’ve been in this school half my life
can’t wait for my senior year this next school year especially since my last three years of high school were practically ruined due to bad mental health and then the virus, so i’ll make the absolute most out of this one. 💗
Almost 30, still no sign of adulthood. Still reminiscing about high school.
Back when I was in school I told myself time will go slow but it felt like it was yesterday. I had friends and fun moments but i didn’t like the work and essays but that’s the point of school. looking back school was actually fun for me especially my high school years but sadly it got cut off by COVID and didn’t go as expected and we didn’t have a graduation ceremony so we had to pick up our diplomas at school.
:((
I'm the class of 2010. I miss it a lot. Like really a lot. The popularly, the people, the drama, the love, the spirit. Wish time travel was possible. Having over 1000 people scream for you at the prep allies. My phone NEVER stopped ringing. I was a living God. Then you realize after your final day senior year, that door behind you closed forever. Your presence in person is no longer there. My name is still on the banners in the gym even after 11 years. That's my legacy. I created my own. Make yours happen to.
@@eu9ne that's what everyone thinks. It's quite the contrary actually. Didn't compete in any sport. Not one. For some reason, I just became hella popular. Still not sure why to this day.
i read the description box and i’m sorry you had to deal with that i’ve never seen u or any of ur videos but i feel sorry u had to experience that
nvm i just realized this is the only video you’ve posted
This makes me be excited for my upcoming senior year
On my way to the good ol days :’)
Yk what high school was hell but I miss my damn friends bc they made that shit bearable
Im about to start my freshman year and i cant wait
Sameee
Class of 2019 checking in. Wow I’m speechless. Well done
Class of 2019💯💯
im not even in high school but i will be in 2 years. this video still kinda made me tear up though because i know that when i get into high school, im going to have all these great memories that im gonna miss so badly
Im telling you those 4 years of high school were the best years of my life if I could relive them I would without hesitation. I just hoping the pandemic doesn’t ruin it for you😢
this video made me cry and reading your description as well. i love this video and i’m glad u posted it :) ❤️
What a beautiful days, i love it
The description box is so inspiring 💛
Ikr
loved what you wrote in the description and the video itself :'))
It’s sad knowing that I won’t get to experience any of this because of my strict mean parents.
Very heartwarming story that you wrote in the description, and a great video to go along with it. This is inspiring me to make one for myself which I think I’ll do.
I love this song sm. Cause I relate to the lyrics so much, even the living in Minnesota
The description. Wow. Props to you, girlie! You got this!! ❤️
I believe teenager life is a high school life you don't know me but friends and best friends will always miss each other while they go to college
American school seems so fun cause in England we just have a prom at the end of year 11 and that’s it.
Like we don’t have dances or cheerleaders and we have to wear a uniform
I'm sorry to hear that. You're always welcome to take an exchange year here!
UK kinda sucks sorry for you
Congrats! I hope the future is bright for you 🤍🤍
I studied in India school was zero fun it was always about “education” and we didn’t even have gym, but at least I didn’t have any of these annoying responsibilities and stress then😕
It's always about academics, sadly sports and extra-curriculars are not paid much attention to, which SUCKS
Got about 2 seconds into this and I cried lol
this hits different after graduation
I'm glad it's okay now ... high school was not an easy experience for you but I hope you see this journey as a victory that made you stronger.
Can’t imagine actually liking school but good for you lol, looks a lot more fun than mine
To everyone sad in the comments:
I don’t mean to downplay the pain of losing these moments to covid, especially when Disney channel etc. really hypes them up lol, but I assure you that you will have many peaks beyond high school ❤️ there’s so much to look forward too! Regardless of whether you go to college, work, whatever - you have yet to meet some of your favorite people, go to your new favorite places, and make some of your best memories. Get excited because you’re in for a lot of great things!
I just went to my senior lunch today before graduation. we’ve been online for 2 years and everyone has changed so much, it was a little upsetting how no one cared how we all were doing besides me. they all have a plan in life and I just feel stuck. highschool was supposed to be different. COVID ruined a big part of our childhood
This is so good I want to make my own now!
I read the description ❤️❤️ you’re a strong and amazing person
hi nina, i don't know if you'll ever see this cuz ik i'm late and this wonderful video was posted a year ago. I read ur description and I really wanted to thank you for being so strong, so brave, and so courageous. i appreciate all your efforts! thank you so much for not choosing the other way. i'm so proud of you!! and thank you sm for being my idol!!!! incase anyone hasn't said this to you truly, i love you
This video was good but your story of how high school treated you was great -Thanks for keeping it real
