This is true, but long hours in the lab only to find that your experiment didn't work...again...is frustrating no matter how much you love it. But I wouldn't want to be doing anything else!

I go back on the 17th of this month.. but luckily, I'm going to be a senior. Only one year of high school left for me!

But fun, too.

Well, I really do agree with the 'if you do what you love you'll never work a day in your life'.

If only I could figure out the nodding emoticon!

I think it really is about finding your passion in life.

I figured that one out my first year out of high school. It is COMPLETELY different. I wish I was back in grade school again. No real worries, no bills had to be paid, and you had the entire summer off!! Cherish your time now because when I was your age I just wanted to hurry up and grow up. Now that I am, I wish I could go back. What we tell you is true!! Responsibility stinks.

I sure miss my summers off

being grown is not all its cracked up to be! Trust me, when you get older you'll wish you were back in school

agree enjoy your summers..

I dont know abut the being older, I would not want to go back to being a kid again.
I have wished i could go back to being a full time college student but not younger
As for the Responsibility thing, i Trust me a whole lot more then i trust other people making chocies for me,

Man i wish I was in 1st grade now!! since you guys said that life is hard!

I think it depends. Being a grown-up has it's risks, but it also has it's rewards. I wouldn't go back to being under 18 for love or money.

I'm a junior in college... we start again on Sept 6, so I have a while yet to prepare (thank goodness, I'm taking 20 credits this semester, including the hardest required class for my major ).

In terms of that whole "find your passion and it won't feel like work" thing.. it's unfortunate, because my passion changes every few months. The only things that stay the same are cats and chocolate

I am out of school currently and I want to go back. But with money issues I may not be able to go for another year. Enjoy your youth. I miss those carefree days! I miss gong out everyday and playing frm the minute I woke up to the minute I fell asleep. But I also like being an Adult, taking care of myself, having my own home and kitties and car and all of the stuff. too bad they don't give us the summers to be kids again! That would be purrfect!!

Sometimes I get jealous of my fellow students... the ones who live on campus and don't have jobs or bills and their parents even pay for their cell phones... and they don't even have to pay for gas...

I've had a year off from school for the first time in my life (great job though) but have to go back for my masters starting August 23rd plus still working fulltime. Thats to soon eek!

I would kill to go back to school..

I'm considering getting my masters, but if so, I will have to work anyway. Growing up sucks!
