The Mentality of a High School Girl

We have all, at one time or another, said "Thank God I'm not in High School anymore, I couldn't deal with the drama..." or something to that effect. I am now second guessing that statement and how I feel about not having the mentality of a high school girl anymore.
In high school our goal was to accumulate as many friends as possible (because that mattered) now I haven't the time, or rather I don't make the time, to even call one let alone spend an entire afternoon doing nothing with one. In high school if you didn't go out on Friday night, even if it was to "drag main" you were a LOSER come Monday morning; now I can't wait to get off work on Friday and get into my jammies to do nothing and maybe get to sleep by 8 if I'm lucky! In high school you fought over time on the phone and raced to answer it in hopes it was for you. I sigh and pray someone will get it before me now and thank god whomever was on the other end didn't ask for me. In high school we would dwell on every little thing that happened, good or bad. If it was "good" we were appreciative of it and never forgot, if it were bad, by god we would change it immediately so we didn't look like an ass ever again. Today we don't dwell on the good, it tends to be fleeting thoughts and the bad is "just another day" or "my luck". We have forgotten to live in the moment, at least I have. Sadly, I recognize it and am not going to do a damn thing to change it.
Maybe the mentality of a high school girl isn't soooooooo bad--but yeah, I'm glad the drama is gone.
