Feelings on leaving school for good...?

Hey, I was just wondering how people were feeling (yr 13s) about leaving school for good - happy? sad? excited?

I'm sad that I'm leaving my school in that I've been there since I was 7, and there's kind of a comfort-zone there in that I haven't had to adjust to new things so drastically as others might have.
However I'm happy to leave as the people in my sixth form are really horrible and bitchy and I honestly can't wait to get away from that environment (i go to an all-girls school) and start uni, everything fresh...
...but then again I'm scared that I'll face a similar situation at uni that i do now, people being horrible etc, because that's the main thing I want to get away from...

So mostly I guess I want to get out of here! :p:

what do other people think?

Tis natural to feel slightly anxious. I've moved schools/countries/homes a few times and have come to believe that: a change of sceneary enlightens the mind (its a good thing!).

I'm pretty sad about it all - I'm going to miss seeing my friends every day, and I've really enjoyed sixth year. I think I'd be happier if I was going to uni but I'm having a gap year first and applying this September so it's all a bit blaaa. :s-smilie:

I don't think I cope well with change in general actually. :p:

Ah, but you'll meet lots of music people and we're all lovely! ;yes; Though seriously, I do think there'll be a lot less girly bitchiness in uni.

I've been waiting 13 years to leave school so i'm quite relieved lol. I guess that I like my sixth form because it's safe and I know everyone and everything that goes on, used to the routine etc but it will be sad to leave and move on and very nervous about starting uni because it's all so different and new :frown:

My school doesn't have a sixth form so I'm kind of sad bout leaving. I'm gonna miss all my friends (and enemies) but look forward to meeting greater people in the future. Time for a change of routine and scenery!

Can't wait. Sick of the all-girls' school environment. Pettiness and bitchiness and immaturity from half of my year, and quite a bit of it from the teachers too! I think the uni lifestyle will suit me much more - more independent learning, without teachers going in a strop if you hand in an essay a day late because you had 5 other essays to do.

Of course I might be a bit sad as I've been at the school since I was 4, but tbh, I won't miss that much about the place.

I'm not gonna miss my best friends, cos those are the people I'm going to aim to stay in contact with. Instead, I'm going to miss "associates" that I wouldn't class as a good friend, but I see everyday and get on with :frown:

Those are the people I will never see again.

I'll miss the whole 6th form atmosphere, being with people and having a fun time.

But then I'll remember I'm off to a brilliant uni, with pocket-fulls of independance, and a lot of potential fun and it just makes me think about bloody time.

I feel ready to move on. I feel like I've out-grown my school. I won't miss it because right now it just seems to be a waste of my time. I won't miss friends because whilst everyone else has been getting closer with their friends, I've been floating further away.

I can't wait for uni. I need a new start. These next 3 weeks of sixth form and then my exams really can't pass quick enough, as tom said.

woah - this was me last year -
hmm was happy to leave coz i'd been in the same school since year3 --
but then scared coz I was gonna be going to a whole new country + leave everything behind and start anew [and as you can guess by now, i'm an international student :biggrin:

]
but so far so good - never felt so homesick that I cried :rolleyes:

, everythingz been great - and yes, I did lost contact with everyone from my last school really, but the friends I've made here make up for that and much more

I remember at the start of 6th year I was terrfied of leaving... was absolutely dreading it.
And now I just feel sort of apathatic. I thought I'd be feeling sad but I'm not.

I'll cry at prom though!!

Like I've been waiting to be sick for a very long time, then it all comes up all of a sudden.

Yeah, same - I'd always thought it'd be amazing to do a Gap Year, but now I've got one lined up I can't be bothered with it :s-smilie:

I'd rather go off to uni like everyone else...

Cant wait to leave although I'm going to miss my friends so much, some I've known for over 7 years now.

Everyones going their seperate ways for University, scattered all over the country, its going to be really sad but we'll keep in touch over MSN no doubt about it!

Mixed feelings. There's bits I'm really going to miss but other things I can't wait to leave behind.
