People you still remember from high school

What were/are the types of people in your high school? I'm officially done with hs. Just want to reminisce the good ol' days.

We don't have those stereotypical nerds, jocks, or cheerleaders groups. But we do have Chinese fob groups.
And I also remember that super tanned Chinese guy that always brought a frisbee to class. Probably a hardcore ultimate frisbee fan.
The Indian guys hang out with each other, too. But they speak mostly English. I think they're Tamil.
And that one girl I had a huge crush on. She's in the drama club so I get to see her act in the auditorium once in a while. I'd just stare at her for the entire time even if there are many other girls on stage. She's one grade lower than me. I was super awkward and had -10000% confidence so I never talked to her even when I saw her many times in the hallway and the library.
And that socially-awkward guy I used to hang out with during lunch time. He likes Pokemon and overrated anime. Very boring guy. But if I didn't hang out with him I'd be eating lunch alone.
I remember this one Indian guy that used to fight for the better computer with me in computer class. Just an annoying dush. But idk, I kinda miss him now.
And that jokester girl in history class. So chill mangggg.
And a good friend of mine that had been very awkward around me ever since one of her friends joked about how we were dating each other.
And that Japanese girl that listens to music in class.
And that guy that always talked about soccer in class, even though he's the only one who was crazy about soccer.
And that fat Chinese dude that likes to wrestle his friends at totally unexpected times.
And that white guy with the beard that looks like he's super high all the friggin time
And that handsome guy in English class that makes dad jokes in class and he looks like he belongs to a 90s boy band
And that perverted kid that likes to draw wieners on the chalkboard and always talked about sex jokes

Good times...

ikr
Every time she was on stage, I just stare at her for the whole time and daydream about how she and I are getting all cuddly and snugly and cute and even emotional with each other until the assembly ends. I'd be daydreaming for about over an hour and it'd feel like five minutes. And then after the assembly ended, I'd remember nothing because I wasn't paying attention to anything.
oh god why am i talking about this
so embarassing

High school was meh. I started off with the same group of friends give or take a few.
Freshman year and sophomore were boring and uneventful but i bonded real well with my friends

Like Missy, my junior year i got really rebellious, made friends with the "burnouts", they were okay people, but they were just for show. They got doped up to be "those people"; really lazy people with no passion, but they were okay, afterall they introduced me to two of my past girlfriends. I did drugs with them for a good while but it got pretty boring real soon, another reason i stopped was because my mom found a pill and threatened to send me to rehab (and she wasnt bluffing). They also got me into playing music, i was the lead singer of a really crappy punk band and we broke up because of musical differences 3 weeks later lol, i wanted to take a blues approach to things but nooo they wanted to be a super serious anti emo anarchy punk band. I still remember waiting outside of liquor stores and asking people to buy us cigarettes and alcohol...dem memories.

Senior year i hung out with the same friends in freshman year, it was a full circle and even though they werent as exciting as my burnout friends they were who i consider my best friends. Almost all my friend from junior year went to different school to get their credits. I didnt stay in touch with them except for three of them who i talk to every now and then.

For the most part my school had the generic clicks but the majority of the people were snobby mexicans

i remember at this one high school i went to, 4 students died (2 suicides, 1 apartment fire, 1 went missing for weeks then was announced dead) and i was only there for 2 years.

freshman year i went to a school filled with koreans and white people. it was located on the "upper" side of town. everyone was stuck up, preppy, rich as heck, and i didn't meet ONE person that i'd be friends with if i wasn't forced to be there.

sophomore/junior were my rebellious years. i switched over to a poor-ish school. i hung out with what other people would call them the burnouts and meth heads. they were amazing people, one of the most down to earth and passionate bunch of people i've ever met. they all had majorly deep problems with their lives though, most of them were suffering from depression/abuse and that's more of the reason why they turned to drugs/alcohol as their lifestyle. so many people in the school looked down on them and it was truly daunting, because they had no idea what they were going through. i still hang out with them to this day (i graduated 2 years ago), and it's still a riot. great people.

senior year i went to a really white school. everyone was white. [b]everyone.[/b] like everyday i went to school i couldn't believe how many white people there was, i was constantly just confused as heck as to why there were so many white people in one place. anyways, i made friends with a group of stoner metalheads, because at the time that was basically my life, lmao. we had our own band, i was the keyboardist and would occasionally take on the drums for the lel. i had a sexual relationship with the drummer throughout senior year (i mean he's a drummer, you can't blame me), but we both just got over it and now we're casual friends.

high school was a pretty alright experience.

Well, I'm still in high school, but I'll reminisce the past year:

My first friend at school, korean, kind of blunt sometimes. She was my best friend for a while, but then decided I wasn't good enough for her.
My dancer friend, chinese I think, kind of obsessed with herself, was friends with me, the girl above, and the girl below. We were kind of a group for a while.
Another girl, korean, nice when I was her friend, ignores me now that I'm not good enough. I was friends with these girls (I'm asian we were the asians), until we just stopped talking and they dumped me. They're all still friends with each other.

One of my closest girl friends, extremely nice and imo kind of perfect.
Another one of my closest girl friends, pretty much perfect and I love her to pieces. She's my future roommate.
A group of guys, very nice and super fun. All really like nature and hiking/camping/etc.
One of the guys in the group I'm closer to and we talk a lot. He's very nice.
Another one of the guys in the group I had a huge crush on, but got over it when one of my friends hooked up with him.
A group of girls, all extremely nice and I love talking to all of them. We'll all be in the same dorm next year.
Three boys, we were really good friends for a bit, but honestly I think we drifted because I haven't talked to any of them this summer, but I hope that's not the case because I love them all (as friends).
These are my friends

A ginger, huge butch, ruined my life for an entire term, turned all of my friends against me.
A guy, who was my friend for a bit, now is friendly, but he supports the girl above.
A scary group of girls (the "popular" ones I guess), all obsessed with being high on the social ladder, I'm not sure they're even really friends with each other.
A group of guys and girls, kind of considered the losers. Most of them are pretty nice, though. My old roommate is in this group. She's obsessed with anime, doctor who, and welcome to nightvale. We weren't really friends.
A group of scary guys (the "popular" ones), all pretty hot, but most of them are huge aholes.
And then a couple of stragglers that don't really have anything defining about them. Everyone's pretty nice tbh (besides the butch and my first friends who abandoned me). Well, to your face. I try to be nice to everyone, but sometimes if I really dislike a person (for being mean), I'll try to avoid talking to them as much as possible.
