I can't wait to get out of this town!!!

Pre-College Topics High School Life

<p>Out here in Illinois along the Mighty Mississippi, I can’t imagine living anywhere else. I’ve lived right next to the schools my entire life. Tell ya what, in 5 years, it’s going to be totally different for me with the new high school they’re building. ON THE OTHER SIDE OF TOWN!</p>

<p>I guess I’m a minority because I actually want to come back and work in my high school. Especially with the new school our school district is going to explode!</p>

<p>My baseball coach did that- he actually took the head coaching job 5 years after graduating from high school and playing on the team. Also, both my parents teach in the high school.</p>

<p>So anyway, I intend to come back here. Waterloo is my life.</p>

22

<p>Yeah, the prices are ridiculous here too. Still, I don’t want Sussex to become completely urbanized, or turned into a field of condos. I like it the way it is.</p>

23

<p>I remember going up to High Point on my way east to Providence…and I passed through the exurbia of New York. I was disgusted by the endless roads, traffic, and lack of anything distinctive. (Some say I did not go in close enough.) However, High Point looks like a less disturbed part of Centre County in PA or Hocking County in OH.</p>

<p>I hate it here. Small-ass town calgary. Going to NYC this fall ;)</p>

26

<p>Well, I’m glad homes are still cheap here (median is about 150K for all homes, 180K for newer homes)</p>

<p>I can’t wait to get the hell out of New Jersey.

  1. I live in a tourist town. Ugh! Which has caused me to hate beaches and now I’ll never be able to go on vacation
  2. I get people from New Jersey asking where I’m from because apparntly I have a South African accent
  3. Having lived in North Jersey where everyone is smart, I now like in south jersey where everyone is dumb, on average.
  4. I never surf or go to the beach even though it is less than 100 ft from my house
  5. hurricanes
  6. 3/4 I live in a ghost town but from memorial day to labor day I can’t get a parking spot in front of my own house!!
  7. I wish I lived in a big city, wait, I can make that come true, in a little more than a year!</p>

Nevada sucks. Period. If any one was ever thinking of coming here, don’t. Even Vegas isn’t that nice or urban or anything. There’s the strip and then a bunch of run down, smutty buildings, and then suburbs as far as the eye can see. And I don’t live in Vegas. I have the wonderful pleasure of living in a itsy bitsy town in Northern Nevada. I bet I’m one of the few people whose been hit by a tumbleweed while racing XC, especially when the said tumbleweed is taller than you. I am also probably one of very few people who have found cow skulls and shotgun shells while running. At least the other states have some nice areas…

<p>Haha, I love it when people try to tell me to move to the Midwest.</p>

<p>“Oh, it’s dry heat… it feels great!”</p>

30

<p>Well for the past 2 months I’ve been saying, “I can’t wait to the get the hell out of here”.</p>

<p>But we just had our final senior banquet and then I realized I was never going to see these people anymore, so I got really sad. Sometimes I hate them so much, but I’m going to miss them as well. It was a pretty tight knit class.</p>

31

<p>the midwest isn’t bad, very relaxing in summer</p>

<p>and the droughts are nice because it stays sunny</p>

<p>plus you can say “at least I’m not in NJ”</p>

32

<p>Oh, I meant Southwest, like NV, NM, AZ, etc.</p>

33

<p>I guess I will miss NJ a little bit, but I am glad to be getting outta here!</p>

34

<p>I can’t wait to leave, I really dislike the town/area I live in.</p>

35

<p>I hate my area. We have a surplus of old people. Too big of a surplus. the average age here is like 45 or something. It’s ridiculous. and we’re in the middle of friggin’ nowhere. And I think my town has a population of like 700 or something. :)</p>

36

<p>Thank goodness I’m not you. My community’s average age is like 30-32 (fairly young).</p>

37

<p>wow i just realized that a good 40% of CCers seem to be from NJ…</p>

38

<p>I don’t hate the people near me at all, and sometimes it is nice to have the sense of community that a small town has. However, there is absolutely nothing to do. I happen to be broke 90%, and the other 10% I am on the verge of being broke again. Now that I can drive its easier, but there is nowhere to drive to. The mall closes at 9 and is pretty far away, and people always seem to “forget” to contribute gas money.</p>

<p>I live in Westchester, and most people assume that we can just go into Manhattan whenever we want to. Doesn’t happen. We’re too far to go just to hang out, but too close so there isn’t anything else interesting nearby.</p>

</p>

<p>is it as bad to live there as the reputation would suggest?</p>

<p>I agree with this thread wholeheartedly, **** ann arbor.</p>
