>Easy to make friends
>Almost guaranteed there will be some students there who have common hobbies/interests
>No bills to pay
>Don't have to work
>Everything is brand new and exciting to you
>Nothing really matters
>Spend your high school years wishing for them to be over because you hate homework and naively think things will get better once you're an adult
>Graduate
>Enter the real world
>Realize how much all jobs suck
>Life revolves around work and paying bills
>Hobbies/interests lose their appeal because you've gotten so jaded
>Your friends have moved away
>The culture changes dramatically...things become more and more alien to you as you become increasingly out of touch

>Reminisce about the good old days
>Spend the rest of your life wishing you could go back to them
