Ah, high school. The BestYearsOfYourLife! Not exactly true in RealLife, but it sure is in every high school drama!

For the AlphaBitch or JerkJock, HighSchoolRocks. Are you popular? You're invited to all of those WildTeenParty wild teen parties! All of the guys and gals wanna take you to the HighSchoolDance, of course. And best of all? SchoolOfNoStudying You're never studying! WOO!

And then RealityEnsures it's all over. Realizing that no one cares that Alice and Bob were the AlphaCouple at their school in the middle of nowhere, or that Charlie was the backup quarterback for the JV team or that Alice won Junior Prom Queen as a Senior really makes you miss the GloryDays doesn't it?

This trope is for the character (usually a FutureLoser) who had already graduated from high school, but are especially NostalgiaFilter nostalgic. Even though the social side of CollegeIsHighSchoolPart2 college isn't all that different from high school (that is the parties and football games), some college-level adults and up really seem to miss those days 'cause GrowingUpSucks. So what do they do? They go back!
