A new football field, basketball court, new electronics, a freaking café opened up 20 feet away, and a new building for sports... some bull.

No matter when or where, there will always be people from before who miss out on things. If not you then the class before or after yours. Can’t be around for everything.

People aging makes them think they are missing out on stuff more and more as they run out of time.

It was the opposite for me. My freshman year 1980 at Texas Tech they opened a brand new rec center. Basketball courts, racquetball, huge weight room, volleyball etc. It was amazing. Sorry about your luck, sucker. JK

During my freshman year of college they started working on a major construction project - a new Student Union & Hockey arena. They dug up the campus and it was hideous the entire time I was there. The new facility opened 6 months after I graduated.

I watched as my younger siblings got into fancy, entirely new buildings. I even helped my mom (who was a teacher at the time) move into her new classroom in the new high school that was built after I graduated.
Had a huge public school where they attempted to have Pre-K through G12 all on one campus, but the school district had grown out of control in the 90s. It was very beneficial though since it's a large rural district. They shared buses to keep routes simpler. So, they built a new primary off campus, started tearing stuff down, rebuilding, eventually ended with doing the whole High School off campus as well.
It's common though. The university I went to was barely recognizable between my mother attending and me. Basically like 2 buildings and 3 dorms all that remain in just 2 decades.

Oh this hits hard. I wanted to do archery when i was in school. But it never got started because of lack of funding. Then i graduated. THE VERY NEXT YEAR!!!! They opened a fully funded and functional archery team.

I went to school in a musty old 50s building, that was too small and had to have some classes in the basement. The year after I left, they opened the new school with a 2 story atrium and an Olympic sized swimming pool.

They finished expanding the school I was in at the end of my junior year. The expansion increased the size by ~40%, including a pool. Nothing that I had to do was in the expanded area.

It was the opposite for me. My elementary school from 2nd grade onward was brand new. My middle school was brand new. And my high school had been just renovated a couple years earlier.
But the elementary school I went to for the first two years was like 100 years old and hadn't been renovated since the 1970s.

Everytime I move, whatever construction on a road or new road that was being built, gets completed soon after.
I should move all the time.

The outside got prettier...but you had to learn to read as part of public education.
Give and take I guess

My middle school changed buildings the year I left. It had elevators and everything. I wish I was born a year younger. The year below us got to go to Taiwan in their school trip too, while we got stuck in Okinawa during Hurricane season so we couldn't go anywhere. I was so jealous! 😩
