But it\u2019s so temporary that it almost doesn\u2019t matter what happens there.<\/p>\n<p>To be honest, the only major thing you could bring out of high school that could help you is your GPA. But you\u2019re eventually going to figure out why high school GPA doesn\u2019t matter. Do you know why?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s because that, too, expires when you eventually gain admission into college. And you\u2019re going to meet hundreds of other little prominent champions who did much better than you.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s it.

It won\u2019t take long for any student to realize that everything changes once you\u2019re out of high school.<\/p>\n<p>You might want to ask why high school doesn\u2019t matter after graduation. But quite frankly, it\u2019s a question you\u2019ll answer once you enter college (i.e., for those planning to go to college).<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_%E2%80%9COn_Your_Own%E2%80%9D_phenomenon\"><\/span>The \u201cOn Your Own\u201d phenomenon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In college, nobody, I mean absolutely nobody, cares about what brand of jeans you wear, what purse you buy, how much you have, how many medals you\u2019ve earned, or even how many pop quizzes you\u2019ve won.

Everything that happens to you depends on how you want it to happen.<\/p>\n<p>This is also one of the reasons why high school doesn\u2019t matter compared to college. Because it\u2019s in college that everything begins. It\u2019s here you realize whether you\u2019re a quick machine, a slow and steady English Queen, a public speaker, or a writer.<\/p>\n<p>Signs of these traits begin to show in high school, but they don\u2019t bloom until the free breeze of college caresses your heart and brain.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Maturity\"><\/span>Maturity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You\u2019d be shocked at the very little attention you get from those hot dudes, although you were in the cheerleading squad.<\/p>\n<p>You might also wonder why girls or boys aren\u2019t flocking around to touch your hair and wipe your feet. The answer put simply, is Maturity<strong>. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Students tend to display their childish behaviors still when they get into college.
