Really?

I don't think I've felt the way I did in high school since... well, since leaving high school. Most of the worst days I've had since coming to college have felt trivial in comparison. Sure, there might have been a decently OK day every once in a while when I was in high school, but that does very little when you're feeling sad and down for weeks at a time.
If I magically had the option to trade what I had now to go back to my childhood, I wouldn't take it. I don't think I've ever even entertained that notion.
Most of the close friends I know IRL became significantly happier and better off once they graduated... which is kind of why I made that post. lol[/quote]
You know this already, but I lean more towards Regs' comment, here. Except that my worst days in high school weren't even half as bad as my bad days have been since. And I used to be consistently content back then, whereas since leaving, well... not so much. Luckily for me, I'm starting to get some of that back lately, I think.

The story is interesting enough (no doubt thanks to its mastermind, Kirkman) that I'm beginning to somewhat forgive Bonansinga's poor writing style choices--I'm guessing he's used to writing for younger audiences, and if he wants to keep writing, that's probably what he should stick to. Seriously, you can't combine super short paragraphs, very fast pace, use of "and" where there ought to be commas, present tense, and all those rookie mistakes he makes consistently with scientific descriptions of people being eaten by zombies. I swear it's
obvious that he was using a thesaurus for just about every other word.
