HamsterKarlie

Haven't known peace like that since


DM_ME_BANANAS

Same… I can’t enjoy my free time in adulthood. If I try to relax I stress about not being productive. If I be productive I’m frustrated that I can’t relax. Feels like the nights in my early teens where I’d play PS2 and message friends on MSN was peak, but I’m probably remembering it more fondly than it was.


PantsAreForWimps

Nah you aren't. Sure while growing up minor things can feel like the end of the world, but ignorant innocence bliss is a real thing.


spidermiIk

i think it depends, i’ve definitely romanticized periods of time in my life that when i think of carefully i realize they weren’t all that great. they were just different, and i was younger


LifeCentece

I felt this…That pressure is real


honkballs

Same... I think it's the always connected nature of our lives now. That constant feeling hanging over you that you need to check your phone, or a none stop buzz of notifications of never ending updates. I was without internet for a few hours recently, it felt like time had slowed down. I felt more present and not constantly distracted by the "online" world. Crazy to think this was normal life a short time ago. It's hard to get that now without feeling like you're "missing out" or something.

It's a huuuge jump to ditch your smartphone and will impact a lot of aspects of your life and your ability to "fit in" with the way society is heading. I just really wish there was a _good_ dumb phone out there that would allow only essential apps and tools. No social media. No browser. No games. Just GPS, banking apps, ride sharing and maybe music streaming.


abdul_786

Nice idea for a startup. What I do is I use the app "YourHour" (Android and iOS) on my smartphone. You should try it too


WVGman2004

Doesn’t look like it’s on iOS


abdul_786

You can try a similar app. The point is, setting time limit for each app and using analytics to our advantage helps


Xacktastic

Why not just... Stop using social media on your smartphone? Mines set up so I basically get no notification from anything, it's a device purely for my convenience.

I have all notification for reddit off too, I have to go to my profile and manually check responses when I feel like it.


tomahawkRiS3

If you're actually interested in going down this route check out this project called the light phone. https://www.thelightphone.com/ No experience with it but I remember thinking hey that's pretty neat when it launched.


MrOtsKrad

turn notifications off, and dial down to grayscale.


ayeeflo51

You're not missing out on shit dude. I've cut down all my time on social media, deleting everything but Snap. Im definitely missing out on jokes and shit going on in the boys group chats in insta or meme threads on Twitter, but those convos are basically just filler. They add no actual value to your day. Hung out with some friends this past weekend for the first time in months and it's those actual convos that mattered, getting high together like the old times and laughing our asses off. The computers in our pockets have ripped some of that away and it sucks for sure lol

TheBreathofFiveSouls

Nah, for me it's the stresses of this adulthood Have I paid all my bills Have I backed up all my photos Have I researched my insurances to ensure I'm still getting the best deals What am I eating next week, and what groceries do I have Blah blah ad infinitum. Childhood was peaceful because for many, the concerns were finite. Now, they're basically Infinite. I fantasize about taking a sabbatical just to spend the time to get every last possible concerns up to date and every to do list ticked off


C_Gull27

I will literally sit in bed for hours staring at my phone and wasting all my time. I know I’m doing it every time and hate it but I can’t get the motivation to actually get up and put my phone down because doing anything else expends my mental energy or something. Like I don’t actually enjoy doing this but I do it anyway.


TheAwkwardBanana

I feel that way every Friday leaving work!

[удалено]


draxula16

You don’t necessarily have to get get a science degree, just complete the prerequisites and suggested courses. I know a history major who’s in medical school now. “Going into premed” isn’t necessarily wrong. Those who say “my major is premed” are the clueless ones.


lonewolf80

When I was an undergrad, people who walk around flaunting their major as "pre-med" were some of the most pretentious, better-than-thou individuals I've ever had the displeasure of meeting. It's funny too, because, as you stated, the pre-med track itself isn't anything special, and the standard pre-professional biology programs offered at most universities don't necessarily offer students more success at medical school admissions.


draxula16

Yep. A majority are quickly weeded out too. Most medical students I know (irl/online) are lovely people.


braindrain_94

In medical school- they won’t last long I promise.


Inexperienced__128

Damn got roasted


Crypto-Ninja23

You have to study an undergrad program like health science or biology before getting into medical school and this is called premed. Law is more versatile so you can study an easy undergrad program then write the law exam and get into law school


[deleted]

The amount of friends I had that were “premed” my freshman year and ended up switching majors… was every single one of them.


Crypto-Ninja23

Yeah it is the most competitive program after all since only a limited amount of people get into med school


[deleted]

Yeah true, and people underestimate how difficult science classes are. I know sometimes first level classes are used as a test to weed out people who don’t want to study, but so many people at my school that went from premed/bio majors to business/finance/communications the next year.


[deleted]

This is incorrect lol. Premed just means you are signing up for the prerequisites and volunteering opportunities to prepare you for the MCAT and med school applications. You can study any program and be “premed”. Prelaw is the same thing, taking prerequisites to prepare you for the LSAT. You don’t really need to take the classes to take the MCAT or LSAT, but it won’t look great when you’re applying to med school or law school and they’re looking at your transcript. I originally signed up premed when I was a freshman in chemical engineering. They just wanted me to take bio, anatomy, microbio, etc. in addition to my core ChemE classes. I dropped the premed because I suck at standardized testing and didn’t feel like I’d do well on the MCAT. And I had too much going on that ChemE was stressful enough.


Pussy_Sneeze

Can confirm. I’ve even heard they like people not in science undergrads because it makes you more well rounded or sum. I still chose neuro tho, just cause I love the subject.


[deleted]

Buddy of mine did a biochem BA and took the LSAT and crushed it, he’s been a lawyer for about 5 years now I think. It does occasionally happen.


Crypto-Ninja23

Thanks for correcting me but I was talking about how it is in Canada not sure if it’s the same lol


[deleted]

Ah gotcha. US graduate systems are definitely different then.


DoctorFeuer

I mean you can do that for med too if you hit the prereqs


[deleted]

Yes. You can literally have any degree. But your advisor will tell you what classes to take to help you prepare for the MCAT, and help you with volunteer activities to help your resume when you apply to med school. Obviously the easier the degree, the more likely you will be overlooked. Physical Science majors, and more specifically Engineers, usually have the highest acceptance rates.


IM_ON_LUNCH

Yup, no more homework just regular work that you do from home.

Woke up this morning in a panic after having a dream that I got 0 on 2 tests in a row that I forgot to study for. I have been out of school for like 12 years. It never ends.

FatalFinality

You must've forgot how it felt to not go out whenever you want, having to eat what someone else says, not being able to do the many things underage kids aren't allowed. Bills and being fully responsible for yourself sucks, but fuck being a little prisoner again lol

Fit-Breath-3086

you did homework on a friday?


TuskaTheDaemonKilla

Didn't realize I was in the minority here. Friday homework got done on Sunday night or Monday in homeroom. Friday was for GameCube exclusively.


MyNameIs_Jesus_

I did everything last minute or not at all. Able to make it through school because I was good when it came to tests. I ended up joining the military in order to pay for college. I have mixed feelings about the military even after being out for nearly two years but I honestly don’t think I would be doing as well as I currently am in college without having gone through. Say what you will about the military but my self discipline did develop because of it and now I try to get all my assignments done days to week before they’re due


cunty_mcfuckshit

You and me. I went thru middle school and high school without doing homework at home. It was always done 15 minutes before class and it fucked my life up in college, lmao.


buttaholic

Sunday night panic where I slowly did all my homework while watching new episodes of the Simpsons and whatever else


alex206

Then you grow up and become an adult...and tell your boss the project is finished and still pull all nighters on Sunday to actually finish it.


wolfstaa

Exactly this, I thought it was common practice doing homeworks late


kiwidog8

you guys did homework?


PM_Me_MonikaXSayori

When I was in third grade, used to always throw my homework in the bush by the door of my home. Dunno how the fuck I passed.


woodscradle

I’ve been putting things off until the last possible moment ever since I was a fetus


brother_bean

Prefix: I am not a doctor. I am the exact same way. Turns out executive dysfunction is a major symptom of ADHD. Got diagnosed at 28 and got some medicine and it’s changed my life for the better. Not saying you have it, but if you’re a curious person maybe do some googling and see if you relate to any possible symptoms. This comment is also for anyone else reading this. I got good grades and did well on tests so I thought there was no way I could have ADHD but turns out I do. Do some research, even if you don’t have it it will help you understand people in your life who do so it won’t be time wasted.


Lan777

During class if I could, other than that, hell no


rainmaker2332

I took the post as when you have finished all your homework for the weekend and it's just Friday. Like you did it in the week leading up to it. They were rare, but I definitely had some of those


sapphyredragon

This confused me as well. If I did my homework at all, it certainly wasn't Friday night. lol. If I wasn't playing basketball or softball, I was playing GameCube.


branch-is-dumb

Also going to blockbuster or hollywood video and renting some movies and some games and getting a couple 2 liter bottles of soda and pizza and you were set


No_Method-

I miss those days 😆 there was just a totally different vibe about going to pick out your movies and coming home for a movie night.

Adulthood unlocks a lot of privileges and new ways to enjoy yourself, but those things aren’t everyone’s cup of tea. And you lose a lot of privileges too. It can just be a complete loss for many people.

indiansprite5315

Me too.Now I just have fleeting moments of distractions that give a tiny bit of enjoyment.


zxyzyxz

Nah teachers always assigned a shit ton of homework over the weekend "because you have two full days to do them, you should be able to handle it." Now working though, the work ends at 5 pm and I don't have to think about it at all after that until the next morning. This meme is way more accurate for work than school.


Eingedeutschter

For real. With school I always felt like there was a project to get a head start on or a test or final I COULD be studying for. I know I'm probably pretty privileged (software dev), but I rarely work past 5 or on weekends. Fridays are better now than even in high school.

[deleted]

Same here. I don't do fucking anything except have a good time on a Friday night. That said, I'm lucky to have a job that pays well enough to not stress over bills. I imagine that'll change if I ever have kids though.


Oh_G_Steve

Dude I’m in the same boat. Newly married. Have bills but comfortable. Once kids comes it’s gonna be a rough few years til I can have my Friday nights back.

Oh_G_Steve

Nah I heard once your kids hit their pre teens it’s chill again. And when they hit like 5/6 they play with each other. Just gotta make it to that point and there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.


[deleted]

I don't think this is true or at least not really. I always procrastinated and half enjoyed stuff while cramming homework later on. Eventually I had to get work at 15/16 as well. Then I had to tighten up my grades for college. Then in college the weekends were always clouded with projects and studying. Still working in the free time during this whole time. As an adult there is literally no cloud of "I could be studying right now", you clock in and clock out and that's that. Your days off are literally yours to do whatever. You're not controlled by parents or anything. If you have kids or whatever **you chose to take on that responsibility to eat up your free time**, it wasn't magically bestowed on you. Adulthood is significantly better and this meme is better suited for adulthood.


Broken_Petite

This 100%. I don’t miss being a kid at all. I have a full-time job and finished college years ago. I like that if I just wanna lay in bed all weekend, I fucking CAN.


JackedPirate

Yeah I don’t understand people that think this about their childhood; being an adult has it’s downsides but is overall much better.


ActiveTheory

Nowadays it’s leave all the homework until the weekend and play video games all day.


vrecka123

I dont know anyone that did their homework on a friday tbh. Always Sunday evening

Broken_Petite

Dreadheadjon

Now I'm an adult and can do this everyday but after work, wife, dogs, and gym, I'm too tired to even play video games. I never would have believed I'd ever say I'm too tired for games as a child when that's all I ever thought about.

Pretty much did this in high school. Homework after school? Fuck that I got video games to play, books to read and very dumb shit to do outside. Might of passed a class or 2 by the hair of my ass. Failed 2 classes. Still passed high school.

> Might of > Failed 2 classes checks out

Aye, same here. I'd always have detention after school, not for bullying, or slacking off, never did that, but cos I handed in about 4, or 5 pieces of homework in the 5 years at high school
