Yeah, I kinda miss my school years as well... things were so much simpler back then, all I had to worry about was doing homework on time, none of this food shopping and bill-paying and laundry-doing lark. Isn't student life fun...?

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

I miss the second term of Year 11, just after GCSE mocks. My friends were great and we didn't have real work to do, just GCSEs, so we spent loads of time down the beach or generally messing around and listening to music. I've got some photos and video clips still and I miss that time, having such good friends and so much fun and so few responsibilities. Obviously not everything was brilliant, but we had lots of fun.

I think looking back now GCSE's were a lot more easier and I have more work to do now.

This weekend I have had to do: 2 english essays, 1 media essay, 1 media homework, 3 exam questions for travel and tourism and 2 business courseworks.

So far ive done the 2 business courseworks, media notes for essay, the media homework and thats it.

Yeah, Grace, the first term of year 11 wasn't so good, all those courseworks, but after Christmas it got a whole lot better, because everyone kind of got fed up of working hard.

Riz, I used to play football with boys as well, but gave up when I was 11 and I haven't really played since. It's not easy to get to play really as a girl.

I miss the days when the summer holidays seemed to go on forever. Now time flies and there's never enough of it.

If it's a memory then surely you still have it and so don't miss it?

I don't miss school, it was horrible. Living at home is fine as long as it's not longer than about 3 weeks. I am going to miss uni loads. Except now I might be coming back to uni next year anyway, so it should all be good.

There/ They're/ Their. Different words.

The last year of high school. I wish I could be back there with only GCSEs to care about. All of my friends around me, and an excuse to act immaturely! I think the music was better then too.

Oh god, you're only bley 18 and you're already old!

Music has always been and always will be as good as the people who listen to it. and as for friends staying around you, don't confuse friends with acquaintences. Friends are people that you still keep in touch with. I still speak to guys I went to college with when I was 16, hell I'm going to his wedding next month (Who get's married in december I ask you?)

Then there have been people I've worked along side for 2 years and went out drinking with every week, then when I changed jobs I never speak to them any more.

Edit - plus, I'm old, and I still act immaturely and have very little else to worry about. Life is grand!

Your true friends are the ones that are always there or that you can always rely on no matter how long it's been.

Sometimes here, sometimes not.

Everyone misses year eleven, but this is the most stressed I can ever imagine being! Especially around now because I don't know enough to get good grades in my mock exams and pretty much all coursework needs to be in within the next two months (that's about fifteen pieces of work).

I'm not sure what year 11 is but I think it's the final year, GCSE's and all that and I fully agree, it was an absolutely dreadful time and I felt so pressured to do well by everyone I thought I was gonna explode (thankfully I didn't).

You're trying to juggle an important social life with coursework and revision and a bunch of old farts telling you that these are the most important decisions you'll ever make and I couldn't see it myself.

The only advice I'd give is that only you know how much pressure to put on yourself and even if it all goes tits up things can still work out ok. I wasn't the most academic person at school but now I've got a good job, a lovely house and all the things that are important to me. (Plus I earn a shed load of cash, I earn more than my age which is always good!). Just find what's important to you.

The memory I miss most is going on the school history trip in June. It was such an eye-opening experience seeing the Somme, Paschendaele etc. and the best bit was that everybody got on, no matter what "clique" they were from, if they were a "mosher", "goth", "chav", whatever.

Aww, that's really nice.

      Jack Saunders' new show

      By BBCAaron · Posted

      I would rather do the new music show than the breakfast show early starts, being cheery and entertaining isn’t my vibe and being hip and on trend. With new music it’s a different kettle of fish that could get my teeth into and enjoy researching and planning of the show and coming up with ideas and making my mark in away that I don’t think I have the ideas for a breakfast. I don’t see how it could be alienating but I enjoy the niche and speciality of expertise that new music shows gives it’s good spot of giving you the headlines and setting the agenda of mainstream music.

      Absolutely, Jack is such an incredible broadcaster already, incredibly entertaining with such brilliant music knowledge and his excitement is contagious, I've never really listened to New Music Shows like Future Sounds but I'm instantly invested in new music due to his show, as I'm sure many others are too.  yes the effects are a little strange but after listening back they're strangely charming when you get used to them.

      Jack has smashed it He was born for this show, he said he’d been dreaming of it and you could tell. Such passion and energy as always with Jack but in a show that can grab people’s attention and drag them down the rabbit hole of new music if you had a keen interest in discovering new music but haven’t in a while, new music shows can be alienating with no familiarity until you ‘get into it’ - the new show has ensured you can ease into to get back into sync . i love the Zane influences - he will be the forefront of where every emerging and returning artist wants to be with this show . Very excited for this chapter

      Yes, I feel that unless it’s for a special sessions with a large ensemble band that for live sessions going out live on the radio. Never saw why they haven’t used the live lounge studio and feel that room could be used more.

      Interesting now Zane has for apple interviewed anything from an artists that have charted and doing less interviews with new and emerging talents chatting to Shakira, Usher, Kelly Clarkson and Shania Twain. Yes, that is a positive thing about Jack Saunders. Although I don’t mind it from time to time for a presenter to be honest and spill an unsavoury opinion about music on the station like Annie did with Fall Out Boy.

      Interesting Jack mentioned they've got new studios at Maida Vale; you'd think, with the move to Stratford, they wouldn't bother update the studios so close to the end...

      I assume it's meant to appeal to a TikTok generation

      Yep Jack is very much Radio 1's modern day Zane Lowe - but with the bonus that he does feel a bit a bit more open-minded and open to chart stuff than Zane was. I could never imagine Zane being a chart host the way Jack is - I always had the sense if Zane didn't approve of your music taste he'd make you well aware of it.

      I will still call them sessions as feel with gigs it makes you think of a live tangible means of going to listen to a band play music and not virtually tuning in via the medium of radio.

      He does what the show needs regardless of how annoying some people may find his presentation style is like. I feel and very much do hope he is in for the long haul and could atleast do four years where his energy may into be as always as bouncy. But he has the knowledge, passion and interaction and not so overbearing but very much so sense of confidence that you need. I think he could easily have a good Zane Lowe like era. Just hope that they consider doing a new late night live music show as I do miss that something of what he had in the early days of the indie show and when Huw Stephens was on live at the after ten slot

      Speaking of the sessions, they've been renamed Live Gigs for any forum members not listening to the show & reading this later

      I’ve found the jingles are annoying and going to grate on the listener quickly. It’s a good opening week with big name hottest records and sessions
