>TFW you just spent 4 hours sitting at a table in the courtyard

I hated high school, but now I wish I could go back all the time.

What's a grown man doing at a school courtyard? How?

You were more optimistic and still had hope. You were also young and full of energy

I'm not at that point yet, but if a few years pass I'll probably start to feel nostalgic for HS as well...

It's not really inside the school, and is outside of any fences. Used to go out here after lunch until classes started again every day, so I have some memories of the place.

I wasn't, though I suppose I at least wasn't depressed either. But I was also way more anxious and stressed; I remember I used to throw up my breakfast before first period a lot due to it.

I feel you op, I had terrible times all throughout school but idk when I was 13-14 I would ride around all day on this old trailbike my grandfather gave me just sitting around at various places enjoying a drink and getting high. I reminisced a lot in my old elementary schools playground.

I hated middle school and about half of high school. But god damn, my senior year of high school was awesome.

I hated a lot of it, but I would give anything to relive it. Not that adulthood isn't great too.

Must be nice to be a normie. Senior year was probably the worst for me, as by that point I had utterly gotten sick of education and became demotivated and apathetic. I failed my math class and for some reason ended up having to take Algebra 1 with 9th graders.

Also had to sit in the toilet stall for an hour after classes every day because some seniors had 1 period less than other grades, but I couldn't go home early like the others since I didn't have a driver's license, thus having to wait for the bus.

There's several reasons for that but the biggest would be that back then your brain wasn't as developed as it is now. Children and teenagers have a much simpler way of experiencing and processing information but you had nothing to compare it to back then. Your simple way of thinking was all there was. Only when your brain is fully developed are you able to miss those times because they actually were simpler.
If humans had another development phase from say, 30 to 40, you'd miss the times before that as well.
