It was the dream as long as you saw through the bullshit that is homework and just ignored it.

In highschool my average day was 6 hours of school, 1 hour commuting, 5 hours of homework, and then cutting into my sleep to have some brief time to play videogames and argue with people on the internet. It seriously fucked me up.

Sounds like she peaked in school.

school sucked though?

  • 7:45am start time sucks ass. no one in their right mind likes being up that early. i was NEVER well rested, it made my anxiety and social anxiety even worse, making me even more alienated from my peers
  • tons and tons of busywork and stress and deadlines while getting nothing in return for it. at least with a job you get paid
  • when i started high school they installed these awful internet filters that didn't let you access youtube, or 'forums', or 'sports', or anything potentially interesting, fun, or engaging. half the time it'd block legitimate lesson plans as well. (before anyone says 'you should be paying attention in class' in many classes and obv study hall we had free time to work on assignments)

Friends in school? So you were one of those people.

It wasn't. School sucked. Fuck school.

Annnnnd hours of homework. Still better than work but still.

This is partly why I am almost middle age and working seasonally. It's more like 10 weeks off but I haven't worked full time year round since 2009 and it is really nice. My time off is in the winter tho.

I don’t get bullied now

And no money at hand... So no freedom. Not a great way to live

RIGHT???????

Summer felt endless back then. Now years go by in a blink of an eye.

I still prefer adulthood. No job, no money, living with your parents, I can't go back to that.

Peaked at high-school admission

Never. People who say that are just the people who made wrong decisions later life. Maybe, maybe, the fact that they had fun at school affects what decisions they make later.

And don't get me wrong. I don't think I mastered in life and most importantly I'm not happy that I didn't have fun at school. I just remember it as the most stressful period of my life and I wouldn't want to experience it ever again.

I miss playing sports and fucking around. It's hard to organize lacrosse with 6 people in your 30s with kids :(

Probably why school setting anime is very common. Where you make friends and find rivals

You're not exactly selling adulthood to the young readers here...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Excellent. Adulthood sucks a lot, avoid it if at all possible.
