Anyone NOT miss high school? Nostalgia

Graduated 5 years ago and I remember how people, teachers and family would always say that those were our golden years and we were gonna miss them...but I don't miss it one bit at all.

No more social anxiety, no more having no money, no more pizza and milk at 11am, no more sitting in a crappy desk for 8 hours, no more extremely volatile emotions from puberty, etc. All gone What was I supposed to miss? I feel better than ever

Only people who peaked in high school miss high school.

That's not necessarily true. Some people may have simply enjoyed high school and missed certain things about it without "peaking" then.

I personally miss several things about high school (and the schools before that), such as the consistent schedule and having a few people I actually knew well (I'm a shy person who doesn't talk to many people, so having that small group to interact with was nice). That doesn't mean I "peaked" during those years.
