🎵that's life🎵

And then you get out of school and realise that those were the good times.

I've got some bad news for you...

Yeah, that totally ends with school.

I definitely don’t live in this state perpetually while I work with no summer break and just a few days at Christmas. Nope. Definitely not.

This seems like the perfect place to use “oh my sweet summer child”

Go wild kids!

Oh, shit, was that supposed to stop at school?

Just wait until you finish school and join the work force lol

Don't worry, it's the same but worse for working full time

Working just gets worse... 😔

Spoken like someone that hasn't been working very long, or if at all.

While school can be very pressure intense around exams in ways many jobs aren't you at least have summer and other breaks. For work you get vacation time sure, but it's nowhere near in terms of time.

Further adult life has a whole slew of responsibilities on top that you need to handle. Most 30+ can't subside on the crap we ate during college, we can't fuck off from our responsibilities when we can't be arsed with minimal consequences and we sure as shit won't find social stimulus without putting in effort, neither friends nor romantic. Sure if you live where you've always lived then you hopefully have childhood/school friends left at 30 but if you've moved then it's not a given at all.

Nice.

Honey, welcome to life.

Work is pretty much the same, but depending on your job it can be way worse, or actually not that bad. I've had both.

Started off in a repetitive job with highly demanding monthly targets that we'd need to hit to get our full bonus (which was a significant part of total comp, salary was low as hell). It was an endless cycle of "X more days until Friday".

I transitioned into software engineering. Ya know what? Occasionally I was EXCITED for the next work week. It's still work and it's hella stressful and sometimes you wish you could take the next 5 years off and have no obligations. But a lot of the time, you're not actively waiting for the weekend anymore. Helps that my commute before I transitioned fully to home office was a 12 minute walk and I had after-work activities on weekdays to be excited for.

"You are running out of 'It is what it is', are you sure you want to continue?" [Y][N]

Boy do I have news for you

Then I suppose school really is preparing you for life. All this time I thought they were just teaching to the test.

Look on the brightside. You still have the weekend when you are in school. Wait until you get a family and every single fucking weekend is taken up events you don't want to go to but you get nagged into.

Wait until you discover jobs

What do you think life is.... :)

Even though it's not endless, thank God.

Work too

With school, you have something to look forward to. It's supposed to end at a certain point. Just wait until you get into the workforce.

Just wait until you realize that's all the workforce feels like too.

That's why concepts for longer weeks never worked out.

School is not a good place for smart people.

School is an interesting way to spell life.

Oh no life after school is so much worse 😂

Wait until you get a job.

*life

I was about to chime in and say yes that's just life but then I saw the title lmao

Serious note: make some effort to find a career you actually enjoy so you're not just waiting for every week to end. Basically waiting to die.

Sounds like you need some B vitamins sonnnnn

Yeaaaah... that feeling never really goes away.

It's not just school!

I'm starting to feel this.

For teachers too...

Teaching is the same. Everyone inside of a school is miserable.

Just be self employed and you won't have that problem once you finally finish school.
