Yes, but you probably met that girlfriend in schoo or at a school-sponsored event, so if you never went to school you might not have much of a social life, or at least you would have to work a lot harder at it.

Don't let studying get in the way of the real purpose of school, which is socializing and developing friendships. This is especially true for college students...

I have managed to really enjoy my time in school because I have had great luck with getting good teachers and classes, but if all I was interested in was learning I could just stay home and read the textbooks.

hell, we dont even have lockers. i know some of you have heard this before, but it DOES make a difference. my backpack with books and stuff wieghs more than my right leg. and they say we cant have lockers because studnets might keep drugs in there. d'oh! i know at least a dozen people how bring pot and mixed alcholic drinks to school. its bull shit.

and another thing, i swear, i have like 3 hours of geometry homeworl EVERY FUCKING NIGHT. and the teacher thinks this is normal. NYURR! i'd go to home school, but i do like seeing and talking to people at school. i like gawking at girls too :P~~

I generally would read a book or write a short story or something while pretending to take notes if I was in a class that was just plain boring. However, I would do this on a regular basis only in a class where I had no respect for the teacher. If I'm in a class that's going way too slow, I might zone out occasionally in class but I will also go up to that teacher after class, discuss the more interesting points, ask for more work, whatever it takes for me to get something out of the class.

Basically, you should show respect for your teachers unless it is clear that they have no respect for you or for any students. Remember that teaching is a sort of a "public service" job, since many of these teachers could have gotten other jobs that pay much better if they hadn't decided that teaching people was more important. And it's not an easy job, either.
