High school and college are both supposed to be the time of your life. If you plan on having children and stuff, you might want to tell them about the fun times you had during prom night or at graduation, or when you go to college you may want to share some stories about the fun times you had at college parties and stuff of that nature.
I mean, it's all up to you. Some people don't choose to go to those events and take the more scholarly route, but yeah, that all depends. XD For me, I like squeezing in a bit of fun along with my academics. I mean, I'm not going to have a boring life in college, so why not have a bit of fun, right?
